{from the shop} chevron pattern rickshaw zero messenger bag

I recently received a Chevron Pattern Rickshaw Zero Messenger Bag from The Spotted Olive™ and I absolutely love it! The pattern and printing of my charcoal gray chevron pattern design looks great with the bold saffron yellow trim. The bag is very large, roomy and well made. I'm using the bag as a camera bag and it has worked out great. My camera, accessories and items from my purse fit nicely in the bag with room to spare.

There are two pockets in the front of the bag, but interior pockets that velcro into the bag as well as a variety of other accessories are also available for purchase. I added the deluxe drop pocket to hold business cards, pens, keys and other small loose items. The bag is very versatile and could be used in many different ways—camera bag, diaper bag, overnight bag, travel bag, workday commuter bag, etc. I've been getting many compliments on the bag!

Bag specifications:

• Water resistant, extra durable (machine-washable). 
• Large main compartment and 2 front pockets. 
• Lightweight and forms to your body. 
• Quick-adjust cam shoulder strap. 
• Velcro strips accessory system; Holds a 13” laptop w/optional sleeve. 
• Handmade with a sustainability focus in San Francisco, CA. 
• Dimensions 11" H x 12.5" W base x 18" W top x 6"D.

{weekend snapshots} memorial day weekend fun

We spent our Memorial Day Weekend with family visiting from Phoenix having a seafood and veggie cookout complete with lobster tail and grilled shrimp (only veggies for me!), relaxing on the deck, enjoying frozen blueberry Greek yogurt popsicles and a long bike ride stopping along the way at some beautiful city parks for rest and snacks. On Saturday the family was able to speak to my nephew who is in the US Army stationed in Alaska. It was so nice to talk to him and we all truly appreciate his military service! We are so grateful to the men and women currently serving and who have served our country. It was such a great weekend and I'm exhausted but in a good way.

{celebrate} happy memorial day weekend

Wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend full of the love and laughter of family and friends with remembrances and gratitude for those who serve and those who gave their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

{instagram snapshot} cute kitchenware recipes notebook

My husband is always experimenting and making his own recipes but then forgets them so I designed this cute little notebook to keep handy in the kitchen so when we jot down the details of his creations. I personalized it with our names and just love the way it came out. It's so adorable.

The Cute Kitchenware Recipes Notebook is now available at The Spotted Olive™.

Happy Wednesday! It's a really beautiful day today and I've been taking the time to enjoy it this morning. I made strawberry mango smoothies and then took a walk with my dog, Zoe. I hope you are enjoying a gorgeous day too!
