Aw, well I'm glad I found you via Lauren this week! :) I was follower #200! Her shop is so cute, love the bags and clutches. I think my fave would be one of the ones with the gray leaves fabric. I've been on a huge gray kick for months now. I think it might be around for good :)
I now know why you like the site. It is wonderful.
I love the Small - Medium Sized Pleated Black and Cream Shoulder Bag. It is just darling.

(http://www.etsy.com/listing/42674760/medium-large-pink-canvas-shoulder-bag)
the best. I love almost anything pink. I also love the brown ones since theyre a bit more neutral colored, so I woudlnt look like walking cotton candy if I was wearing pink clothes.
