New Favorite Thing!

So here was the dilemma:
I used to take a ton of pictures.
I had a great little point and shoot digital.
I'd throw it in my bag and go.
Then I got (chorus of angelic voices) a Canon Rebel.
AND I got a big-arse expensive lens.
No more carrying the camera in my bag.
I needed to use the camera bag.
The big, ugly, boxy, camera bag.
Well, guess what.
It's too much to carry AND carry my regular bag.
so NO CAMERA=NO PICTURES
I had this great camera and wasn't taking any pictures!
SOLUTION!
I found these fantastic camera bags on Etsy.
They are made by Tracy Joy..

This style is called Kristine and it's $79.
How cool is that design?? It's so cute!

It has 4 pockets and the middle is open so I can carry my camera, lenses,wallet, phone, date book, whatever
ALL IN ONE BAG!
*Obviously I can't take a pic with my camera in the bag. It would go in the bottom left pocket.

The bag comes with one foam divider, which I wrapped around my expensive lens.
I will probably get another divider which costs $6.

Here is another shot of the inside. Roomy!

Here is the closure.

Now here is the coolest feature: notice the velcro....

You can remove the patterned cover and change it to match your mood, outfit, whatever!
Additional covers cost $22.

Compare beautiful, fun, new bag to old, ugly, bulky bag.

Please note that fabulous new bag lays flat against the body.

Adjustable strap enables you to wear bag over shoulder or across body.
I should have take the pic in the full length mirror.
I love this bag - highly recommend it!

That is gorgeous.

I have kinda gotten used to the bulky, ugly bag. But your bag is awesome. I think I will buy one...eventually.

Of course, the Rebel is my husband's camera. He would choke to see it in something so pretty. So it will have to live in his ugly bag, and only ride in the pretty one when I'm going out to play.

I love the look of your new, cute bag but are you SURE and double promise that it's not too soft? I think I'm more nervous about bumping my camera than I was my babies!

Love the fab bag! It's absolutely nifty! I have a teeny tiny camera so I just put it in a case I got with binoculars and pop it in my purse. That's how I'm able to take pictures of strip joints with "help wanted" signs on them!
