Lovely, just lovely.

I am usually very predictable. I love floral patterns and when given a choice, will go with floral on anything. A couple of weeks ago, I had a Thirty-One Open House where I was the hostess. I had a good turn out on orders and earned some lovely free products. I was wanting a new bag and accessories to use on trips. Everyone I know expected me to go with one of the new floral patterns, but I surprised everyone, even myself by going with a different pattern.

One of the new patterns this spring is called Navy Wave and I wondered if I would really like it or not. Since, you know, it's not floral. But I took a chance and ordered my freebies in this new pattern. Well, it arrived yesterday and let me just say.... My Oh My! I ordered the new bag with my initial on it because I love to have my signature B on everything. I wanted hot pink so it would pop. I am thrilled with the result.

I also won a medium thermal zipper pouch to go with it. 

Since I plan to travel with these bags, I thought this would be good to toss some snacks in since it is thermal. I won't have to worry about my Junior Mints melting.

I ordered a Pocket-A-Tote to match. I have never had one of these and wasn't sure how it would work. 

It has this little snapped strapped on the back of it.  

You simply unsnap the snaps.

And feed each strip through the grommets in your bag (it fits all the utility bags in Thirty-One)

Pull the all the way through the grommets and snap the straps back together.

It blends in well with the outside to the bag since it is color coordinating.

Now my bag has a nice neat zipper pocket inside it. 

This is great for all those little items I need that I don't want just piling up lose in the bottom of the bag. 

I already had these items from a previous party. A little mini zipper pouch and a wristlet.

Everything fits very nicely in one bag. I am ready for my trip.

Isn't it all lovely, just lovely?
