It's an Etsy Fab 5 Friday!
Today's Fab 5 Guest Editor has asked to remain anonymous. Anonymous Ms. X is often sending us links to new Etsy discoveries or purchases. You can sometimes spot Anonymous Ms. X with her Holga camera.
When asked if there was anything she'd like to share with Rare Bird Finds readers, she said simply, "Let them know that I spend too much time on Etsy."
I think these Little Piggy Goes to Market grocery totes are very cute. $28 at Chez Sucre Chez

18-year-old Reginald Davis is behind bars, charged with raping his eight-day-old daughter Monday night.
Wednesday Davis made his first appearance in court. Because of the severity of the crime, the judge increased Davis' bond from $50,000 to $100,000.
Safety concerns forced officials to hold his first appearance in court separately, away from other inmates.
Family members did not show up for his hearing, but Davis' mother told us by phone that, "he suffers from mental health issues."
Dr. Allen Battle is a psychologist with the UT Medical Group. He says, "seeking a baby is extremely rare." He says, "so many of the patients have been exposed to this behavior themselves, when they were kids in their formative stages."
Police were told about the attack after the newborn girl was taken to Forrest City Medical Center. Reports indicate Davis rode with the family to the hospital where she was treated for rape and a fractured skull. The little girl's injuries were so bad she was transferred to the Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. Davis' neighbors are appalled.
"It's scary to know if he'd do it to a child what do you think about someone he might see in the streets or something," worried Diane Mullins.
Davis doesn't live with the 15-year-old mother of his child. He listed a home on Wilson as his address. Investigators say Davis was visiting the child's mother when the reported attack occurred. Police say when the teenage mother finished showering for bed, she came out and there was blood on the child.
We didn't get a warm reception when we went to talk to Davis' family, "Just leave."
Criminal records show Davis has a misdemeanor theft charge, stemming from an August 2008 incident. Senior Shamaya Goss remembers Davis from his days at Forrest City High.
"He would like get in trouble a lot. I don't know what type, but he was a trouble maker."
No charges have been filed against the mother, but in child abuse cases all family members are considered suspects.
Can anyone here recommend a good optometrist? I have the FSU student insurance, if that helps. I definitely need my eyes checked and would appreciate some recommendations =)
