Back to School Part 2 - Just My Size

A few days ago, my Toddler Backpack was featured on dana-made-it.com.  I was trilled to say the least.  Thanks again Dana!  My Backpacks have been very popular for just the reasons stated in Dana's blog post - little people, HUGE backpacks.
 
These little guys measure approximately 10 inches across and 9 1/2 tall and although they are PERFECT for a toddler up to about age 3 or so...I get so many requests for larger backpacks!





So, VOILA!

Enter the Big Kid Pack!  It's a great size for elementary school kids, tweens, teens and would even make a great purse or diaper bag for mom!  It measures 10" wide x 13" tall x 4" deep.  It's still available in all the fun fabrics that I use for the Toddler Backpack and I'm happy to shop around to find something extra special if you don't see something you love on my Etsy site.

School is starting soon and orders are backing up, so get your order in today!

Sneak Peak

A while back I told you all that I was working on a new handbag line.  Well, I'd like to give you a sneak peak of what I've been working on.  In the coming days and weeks, I'll be transitioning some of my items from my Etsy shop, ChristineAndCompany, over to my new shop...BagtasticDesigns!  I'm very excited about opening a new shop and I think it will make it easier for shoppers to search for exactly what they are looking for.

Christine and Company specializes in handmade children's items such as Baby Booties, Toddler Backpacks and Lunchbags.  I'll be adding some new items in the next few weeks like Car Seat Organizers, Crayon Rolls, and more.  Here's my new banner!

BagtasticDesigns will feature handmade purses, handbags, clutches, wristlets and diaper bags in fun, colorful fabrics.  I also have a neutral line that I am very excited about...see my work in progress!
