It's here!!!

I had a new first in my life last week.  I bid on a diaper bag on Ebay.  I never saw a diaper bag that I was crazy about while I was registering.  I kept thinking about the diaper bag my cousin Tricia had with her son Deegan.  Everytime I saw it I commented on how much I liked it.  I thought if I liked it that much, maybe I should go with one like that.  She has a red Fleurville mothership bag.  She bought hers on Ebay two years ago.  The brand new ones are $150.  I looked online and they don't make the bag in red anymore.  I was nervous about purchasing a used one, but Tricia did and hers turned out just fine.  Well I bid $30 on the same kind of bag and I won it!  I thought that $30 wasn't too much to spend and take a risk.  If it didn't like it I wasted $30, not $150.  Also, the lady said I could return it if it wasn't in good condition like she claimed.  Well the auction ended last Sunday and I have been waiting not so patiently for it all week.  Well it came today!!!  I really like it!  Have a look...but first here is a picture of Tricia's son Deegan at his 2 year old birthday party last weekend with my uncle Stan.  It was all about Thomas the Train.

The black sharpie mark on the bag.  This is the only blemish I can see.  She warned me about this before the purchase.  
Both sides have a velcro case like this for a bottle or whatever else.
Padded shoulder strap
Insulated bottle holder
The original one comes with a changing pad that fits in the back but this one did not.  I'm just fine with the fact that it didn't come used as well.  

I like how the outside has a slick finish so if anything spills on it I can wipe it right off.  I also like the red.  I could have bought a blue or brown one brand new but I feel like we have a lot of blue and brown and red would be different.  Plus I could also use it for the next child whether it was a boy or girl.  Needless to say, I am really excited about it!  I guess I will have to shop on Ebay again sometime. Thanks for helping me find this bag Tricia!!

I love ebay! I got Cason's crib bedding brand new for $100 for a full set. But my shining moment was when I got Kendall's baby bedding that retailed for $220, brand new for $20. It still makes me happy....

Fleurville makes GREAT bags by the way so I know you'll love it!
