I stumbled upon these beautiful and unique leather handled carry bags from SwarmHome.com.  These bags are made by hand using vintage oil paintings which were sourced from Belgium and Dutch Flea markets.  Each bag is a work of art.  They are strong, versatile and spacious.  The bags are designed to show signs of wear with use and age so that their stories live on.  I like the one with a long handle.

Personalized Plates For Children

barbara

We still cannot decide what toys to get our daughter for Christmas.  She did tell us that she would like to have a High School Musical school bag 🙂 I was looking around on the internet and saw the cute personalized Alphabet Plates.   Meal time have never been this magical.   Made of melamine,  you can pick a hair style, hair colour, eye colour, skin colour, accessories, the colour of the plate and personalized words or name for your child’s plate.  What a cool idea.  Maybe we should also get her a personalized plate.  Oh so many things to choose from.   I hope we can make up our mind very soon.
