my pretties

While I don't personally have a need for a diaper bag (but I know some people who do!) I do kind of love it.

 

That blue (faux)leather is so fabulous-vintage-luggage I can hardly stand it. The straps, the pockets... ohhh the pockets. And oh yeah, it's pretty great in yellow too. 

Spotted over at Oh Joy!

And thankfully all the cats are out of their respective bags and I can finally talk about the fact that two of my friends are expecting! And get this: one found out the day before my wedding, and the other found out the day after. It was kind of a magical time, what can I say? So I've been focusing most of my energy on building my scarf inventory, but believe me the baby knitting will commence shortly. I've got some time. And it is some of my favorite knitting to do. :)

small wonders

I don't even remember how I came across this shop to begin with but I just rediscovered it in my favorites list and it didn't take long to figure out why I put it there. Little Dipper specializes in vintage goods for baby, and it just kind of blows my mind the cuteness they have compiled there. I want to hoard suitcases of these for no particular reason and keep them for many years to come. Seriously, whoever thinks it's a good idea to just get rid of stuff like this is crazy.

The Littlest

I feel like I've been talking about babies an awful lot for someone who has none, but it seems like everyone around me is having them. I swear there's a constant rotation of 5 or 6 pregnant people that I know or at least read about on the blogs, and as soon as someone has a baby another one announces their pregnancy. So. I've had babies on the brain. And these are the cutest darned baby clothes I have ever seen in my life.
