The Travel Bag - "Love"


The Brick Hotel in Newtown, Pennsylvania is one of Bucks Counties most beautiful assets. It was quite a privelage to be given permission to take photos there today. Being that the newest addition to my line is a travel bag, I couldn't think of a better place to introduce my new baby.

"Love" is the theme for this bag (this is a VERY popular theme among my clients). The large red rose on the bottom corner of the bag, symbolic of love, is meant to remind us of the fruits of the Spirit. Love has pride of place in the fruits of the Spirit, "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generocity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22).







Hat boxes in toe, everywhere I go! Yes, I do have an addiction. Last count, I think I have 41.










Always take a travel journal with you to record your memories!








The Travel Bag has six pockets on the exterior of the bag. Three across the front, and three across the back, each comprised of different, yet equally lovely fabrics. The exterior of the Travel Bag is covered in plastic so as to protect the fabric from inclemental weather, or spills from beverages. Don't worry about that lipstick smear from a lost cap, it will wipe right off! The pockets are the perfect size to hold Passports, plane tickets, local maps, tissues, and wallets. They are quite deep as well so to prevent anything from falling out.



This grand dame of a beauty had me smitten. To walk through her halls, softly run my hand on the rail of the grand staircase, express admiration for the handsome bar,......to feel a sense of bewilderment at the history that surrounds you, it is all consuming, yet in an old gentle way.









The fantastic Travel Bag is loaded with pockets and compartments. With three compartments inside the bag, each eqipped with two pockets per compartment, organization for a weekend trip, or a jaunt to the Italian coast is a breeze. This way you spend less time searching for what it is you are looking for, and spending more time enjoying the view (even if it is a handsome Italian!)


The Travel Bag can also serve as a diaper bag, with changing pad (the changing pad at no additional cost.) For those who are looking for a diaper bag that really doesn't look like a diaper bag, and can transition into a good looking bag when the baby stages are over, the Travel Bag is a great choice. Money well spent I say, money well spent.

The Diaper Bag - "Love"

Oh Baby, Baby, Baby! Look how beautiful that Diaper Bag is! Well, after many requests, I've finally designed a diaper bag that appeals to the discerning eye. The theme I chose for this bag is "Love". I had contemplated several different areas of interest for the Diaper Bag, but I kept coming back to "Love" for obvious reasons. Scripture is replete with stories and metaphors of children ~ perhaps I'll visit some of these themes in the future, but for me, love is the epitome of what becomes you when you hold your precious baby in your arms, when you meet eye to eye for the first time, embrace in the first kiss. My first Diaper Bag just had to be "Love". The rose has a long tradition of symbolizing love. It has pride of place in the fruits of the spirit, "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness,and self-control" (Gal 5:22) The symbol of the rose can be found sporadically throughout the fabric on this bag. (By clicking on all of the photos, you can get a much larger detailed image)

This side of the bag reveals blues and greens. A larger shoulder strap made of webbing is super convenient for when you have your baby on your hip and you want to carry your bag across your chest.

The Diaper Bag comes equiped with six large deep pockets to hold plenty of bottles, and the necessary small stuffed animals, rattlers, and teethers. Built on the Large Day Bag pattern, this bag has a soft bottom. I covered everything in plastic on the exterior of the diaper bag, so to make cleaning a breeze. Even the deep pockets are completely plastic lined so to protect the beautiful fabric from bottle drips, mushy Cheerios and Goldfish, and jam hands!

The "girly" side of the bag shows sage fabric with dragonflies, pink gingham, brambly yellow, and white with trailing yellow flowers and vines.









The changing pad is covered in plastic on both sides. A three way fold places it nicely into the bag.






I designed the Diaper Bag according to my preferances to when I had little ones. This inside is a basic catch all for blankets, diapers, changes of clothes, wipes, etc. Nothing fancy. Simple magnetic snap closure.
