Not sure how I feel one way or the other. Sure it stinks that the hackle supply has dried up to an extent but if the ladies want to put feathers in their hair, who am I to say they can't buy the feathers and do what they want with them.

The one good thing that has come from all this feather fashion craze.... friends who are bonafide hackle junkies and have been out of of work for some time...well they've been able to stay afloat by selling off their stash of saddles on the auction sites.

Soon it will pass and all will be back to normal.
