Mama’s Got A Brand New Bag

Good shopping today.
Bought a fancy ass bag
to get a life for.

Well, actually, I didn’t buy the bag. It was a gift.

This weekend we took a road trip to handle some necessary, “pre-wabisabime” business and stayed with some dear friends who own a couture baby boutique. Some of their new products were in her home office, and what immediately caught my eye were the half-dozen lush, tapestry bags. I gasped. I pointed. I flailed my arms wildly.

“You like those diaper bags?”

“Diaper bags! Those aren’t diaper bags!”

After years of drooling on my keyboard, I was finally up close and personal with Offhand Designs’ Ursula. If you knit, you may have also lusted after these gorgeous $240 creations, as they are also marketed to fiber enthusiasts for their fashion and function. Wow. They are even more delicious in person.

And now I have my very own Ursula, which according to the website is “Luxurious and functional, Ursula is the ultimate tote for stylish knitters.” And I agree. It is very spacious and holds my MacBook, wallet, my sock in progress and Tomoko, my iPhone has his own special pocket, right up front.

Thanks L. This totally makes up for the scary police raid down the street
