Looking forward to fall...

I have been dreading the return of fall for some reason this summer.  Usually I welcome the cooler nights, and the crisp sunny days, but this summer I have been grumpy thinking about the return of autumn.  You'd think I'd be sick of the hot dry summer followed by the ridiculously wet August (Hurricane Irene included) and would welcome September with open arms.

Well, it happened.  I must be driven by the weather entirely.  Because the cool night breeze that Irene ushered in this evening made me remember all my fall favorites - Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks (which should be returning soon), wearing hand knit cowls and scarves with just a t-shirt or light jacket, hell - I'm even generous towards football in the beginning of the season.  And for some reason, delicious spiced beers are always appealing once the weather starts to turn.  I made an etsy treasury tonight as I look forward to fall (if only I could have included a pumpkin spice latte!)

The baby's here! She arrived about 9 months ago...

Oops.  I told you Mommyhood would consume all of my activities.  My daughter was born last November and she is perfect.  She now models tote bags for goodmarvin (that is when she's not trying to knock them over!)

You can see more pics of her modeling skills on my website: http://www.etsy.com/shop/goodmarvin?section_id=7271778

Other news:  goodmarvin has added a few new designs for yoga bags for the fall:

A zippered top-loading yoga bag available in many patterns!

And an extra large open top-loading bag with magnetic snaps:

Psst!  And these haven't been released yet, but I'm hoping for a mid-September launch of gadget cases.  I was thinking it'd be awesome to have a miniature abstract painting in your pocket  - check these out:

  Well, that's it for now.  I promise to check back in more quickly this time and not let another 9 months go by!
