Babies on the Brain

Hello there. Happy Thursday. This has been such a strange week; there is so much negativity out there in the world. We are constantly hearing about horrific, violent things happening. It can be easy to lose sight of the good that goes on in the world. Of the miracles that happen around us all the time. One of those miracles is on its way. Or rather, she's on her way: my very dear friend, Jaime, is due any day now. In fact, she is overdue; little baby girl Baylee was actually supposed to make an appearance last week, on the 11th, but she's still hanging tight in Mommy's tummy. So, since I have babies on the brain, I thought I'd do a post on a couple of bags I came across that I thought would make excellent diaper bags.

Tote bag / Tote bag / Olivia / BARNES & NOBLE | Olivia by Ian Falconer | NOOK Book (eBook),... / Jenna Rose Textiles

That first one is from Jenna Rose Handmade.  Isn't that bag gorgeous?  This company creates each piece of cloth using hand screen printing right in their own studio.   As soon as I saw that bag, it instantly reminded me of Where the Wild Things Are.  When the Cat was little, that was one of her favorite books.  We loved reading it together.  I still have it memorized and can recite it from memory.
The striped ones are both from etsy shop Mummi Quilts, and these two bags instantly reminded me of another book that we loved to read when Alli was little- Olivia.  I think this book really set the stage for her being such a good little artist.  I remember when she was little, her dad had taken her to the Getty museum, and he couldn't believe it when she pointed to a painting and said, "That's by Degas!"  She had learned it from that book, and she has liked Degas ever since.
So, anyway, I thought I'd share these lovely finds with you.  The beauty of these bags?  They aren't actually diaper bags, so they can be used by anyone!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week. (Tomorrow is Friday!  Hooray!)
