We love our new hammock, which arrived last week, just in time for the warm weather of summer. Already, my daughter, husband, and I are each vying for our time in it. If you put the crocheted parts over the opening, you are in a little nest, perfect for having a little nap. The only thing I would change about it would be that it didnt stretch as much, because now my butt is quite close to the ground, and this despite having a 15 hammock stand. Then again, I have added the covid 15 lbs to my weight, so maybe this will not be the case if Im lighter, haha. I imagine it has stretched a bit because its cotton, too, and that this is normal. Overall, Id buy this hammock again...its so unique, and weve had only raves because of it. It looks pretty in our backyard, and we look forward to having many years of chill time in it! :)

The Mysterious Traveler backpack is well designed to use as a small brief case or day pack. And its *just* the right size to fit comfortably--and be snug against my back. Im 54 and often a backpack will be too big to fit well, so this is an important point for someone small. Adjustable straps make it fine for someone larger. The currant color leather is very nice, tho I found the leather a bit harsh to the touch. Novicas excellent customer service said its top quality leather that would soften with use. But that I could exchange it for the black leather version. I did request the exchange, and the black leather is soft from the start. A new design element in the black version is a bright plaid lining that--compared to the original dark lining--makes it easy to find things in the pack. This sturdy backpack will serve me well for a long time. Thank you João Carlos Silva!
