...since I had a shopping post.  That's mostly because the things I've been shopping for lately have been extremely dull.  Things like towels (trying to go organic) and sheets (need softer, deep pocket sheets!) These things do not make for interesting blog reading.

These little Stick Keepers from the Small Object are not nearly as practical as sheets and towels, but they are pretty fun. And presumably they are a bit practical, as you can use them as bookmarks, or file markers or that sort of thing...if you happen to be the kind of person who uses bookmarks to hold your spot as opposed to random bills. 

I am crazy about this purse from Sketchbook Crafts. I love the bold color, mixed with the sophistication of the linen pleats. This might actually be the end of my summer purse search (as well it should be, now that we're fully into July).

This idea is genius.  It's a Pram Purse by Vision Handbags.  I love it partly because I love that other countries call strollers "prams," which sounds so much more dignified.  It's also just such a good idea.  That little loop at the top attaches over the handle of your stroller and holds your keys, cell phone, etc. 

Though my stroller has a small compartment to theoretically hold such things, the compartment is actually rather small and usually full of tissues and napkins. So, I generally end up rummaging through the bottom of the stroller to find my purse (usually buried beneath a zillion shopping bags) whenever my phone rings or I need cash to buy a coffee.  I clearly see the need for a Pram Purse.

Incidentally, I discovered the Pram Purse when the lovely Jo left a comment last week.
