Item #1 – The Blue Lotus Bag

by Stacy on August 28, 2008

The first item up for bid is Katelyn Jane’s fabulous Blue Lotus bag. She tells us this bag is “big enough to fit the kitchen sink”. She also says, “It’s super fun and super easy. Just throw all your stuff inside, putting items you’ll need most in the huge pockets, and go!” To read more about Katelyn on her fantastic blog, click here

Blue Lotus Bag

This the perfect bag for a mommy on the go, a trip to the beach or the local library. Even better, it would make a swell diaper bag and even a great tote for a trip to the Farmer’s market. It has four pleated exterior pockets (velcro keeping them closed), so it’s easy to find your wallet, keys or lip gloss.

Pockets

Best of all, it’s stylish and eye-catching, and sure to draw attention! Don’t you just love this print? We think Nie Nie would too. That’s why we chose this as our first item.

Let’s give this bag a great home, we’ll start the bidding at $5. What do you say?
