Thirty-One Bags to be exact!
Today is such a gorgeous day! This morning the kids and I went to the park for a 31 Bags Party and Play. It feels so refreshing out here! The wind is constant and cool, as my girl Amy said, it is the perfect day for a picnic. She hosted a 31 party at the park this morning with Watermelon, Drinks and other treats. What can be more inviting then a day in the park with a party about BAGS!!! I love bags and they are my weakness. I make them, I buy them...but I don't sell them. Bags are something I can usually justify buying or finding a purpose for making.
Now when I first heard of thirty-one bags, I thought 'OL', but going to this party this morning has changed my mind! They cater from Kids-Women and Even men! My daughter even loves the prints. As soon as she saw the catalog she said, "Mama!!! I love these! These are so pretty!",swiped it from the table and sat down on the sofa looking through each page. These are all my favorite prints: the textured twill, herringbone spot, Parisian Pop, Mod Dots, thirty-one keys, and the watercolor prints! Rory like the pinks and floral prints most.
My favorite thing from the catalog is the Expand-A-Tote! Marla, our consultant, showed me the things this bag does. You can make it small {if you look at the sides, one has a clip which you connect to the other side to make it a little more compact}, wide,or tall! It is awesome and comes in one of my favorite Prints. All I could think of is, when John has gone away traveling and comes back with things for the kids, he doesn't always have a comfortable fit for his things, but this bag turns into a bigger carry-on.
Other things I had my eye on were a few accessories and totes. See these fun organizing bags on their site!
The Mini Organizer (My 2nd Favorite next to the laundry basket!) looks like a great bag for so many reasons! If you have an SUV or Van with that empty space between the driver and passenger seat this is your bag. Your kids drinks fit nicely in the side pockets and those things that are now floating on the floor of the van can be stashed in here out of sight and safely inside this tote. Or Organizing your kids craft, a portable storage tote is great for at home or on the go. For the craft person stick your glue gun, zippers, scissors, and more nicely organized on the sides and easy to find. There are many other ideas, gardening tools, handy-girl or man tools, utensils napkins, and plates for a picnic, etc.
The Ruffle Sacs, which Rory likes, also come plain with no ruffles. Marla had a great idea for all you Solanco Sports Mom's, Buy the black one and monogram it in the golden yellow with Mules and your child's name. All the kids are wearing them now.
They have a couple cute lunch totes too that come in the camo and twill. If you dress the twill up with their cute Rosette Clips they sell and your child's initials in a pretty coral pink, it becomes girly instead of plain. Almost every little girl loves accessories whether flowers or a favorite pin they have.
Also their cosmetic bag is so cute! Just because the bag says cosmetic does not mean it can not be used for other things. I do not wear make up but this is a cute bag to fit your bible {mine is 6x9x3}, a note pad and pen for Sunday instead of lugging your whole purse.
Accessories!!!
I love accessories!
1. You can dress something up with colorful accessories
2. They are usually inexpensive and you can use it as a small add on if you are giving money as a gift
3. As I said in two they are usually inexpensive so you don't feel bad spending $10 on something you'll use instead of $30 on something your not sure about.
Check out their website @ thirtyonegifts.com. They have their catalog online for instant view. ***Note: As you are looking at the catalog, notice all the ideas they give you for the multiple purposes these bags can have.*** Maybe I should sell this stuff! ha ha!
Comment and Let me know which item would be first on your wish list, I'd love to hear it!!
Please forgive me as I deleted all the pictures I had posted on here. I went to my moms tonight for coffee and to look at the 31 catalog. When I asked her what she thought of my blog today, excited with my new addiction, she said, " I think that may be copyright infringement." I felt so dumb!! Automatically my heart was pounding and I felt like I just committed a crime! So my husband being in the business of advertisement, I text him to ask. Of course! I felt horrible, even though I meant no harm, I did not take the time to check the catalog to see what it said about the pictures etc. My mom joked with me and said, " Don't worry honey, I 'll bring you iced coffee and your magazines to you in jail!" ha ha! And my sister was just cracking up! she thought it was so funny that I accidentally did this. But seriously just a click of the button and you can check out these cool bags and get a picture to what I am talking about! I am not sure selling would be great for me because I am not great at it, just promoting a product is more my thing. Oh and if you go to a party and they ask you how you heard of Thirty-One gifts mention Liz from Cheek 2 Cheek!
