My New Website!

I have a new website! www.jennifergdesigns.com

Ok, I've had the domain for a while, but I finally got some content up on it. I'm going to refer interested people to this site instead of Etsy, but shoppers will still have to purchase items on my Etsy site. There is a link on my new website to get to Etsy easily.

New Design, New Diaper Bag - Japanese Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)

This is my BRAND NEW DESIGN of modern sakura "cherry blossoms" as you would see them falling from the cherry blossom trees in Japan. March is the time when these unique delicate flowers are celebrated in what is known as The Cherry Blossom festival.

This diaper bag tote is made of 100% dark chocolate linen, lined with pink cotton, has two interior sippy cup and one zipper pocket, and three pink satin cherry blossom appliqués on one side of the exterior. The bag is sturdy and durable for any travel or everyday use.

Size: Approx. 16 x 20 with 28" strap.

Symbolism of the Sakura:
"In China, the cherry blossom is a symbol of feminine beauty. It also represents the feminine principle and love in the language of herbs. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize the transience of life because of their short blooming times. They have also come to represent clouds of their nature of blooming en masse. Falling blossoms are metaphors for fallen warriors who died bravely in battle. This connotation links them with the samurai."
~Wikipedia

This bag is made to order. Please allow 3-4 days for production plus 3-4 days shipping time. I also welcome CUSTOM REQUESTS. Please EMAIL ME with any questions.

I am excited to announce that I am NOW offering Diaper Bags with my original designs appliquéd to the front. These will compliment my handmade baby blankets very nicely and would be awesome to give as gift set to an expecting mother. I will most likely offer complimenting diaper changing pads / mats with the diaper bag at a later date.
