A New Twist on a Classic

I had a great day a few weeks ago when I learned that I had won a blog giveaway on Preppy in New England. I confess that I entered because I was coveting one of the darling dresses from TheTrendyTot and didn't pay too much attention to the details of the giveaway. After finding out that I was the lucky winner, I discovered that a little Nantucket basket from the lovely UpMySleeveBoutique was part of the winner's package. Scoping out this online shop introduced me to Sarah Laubinger's darling line of cute, updated Nantucket baskets and jewelry. When I was a little girl, I remember lots of women carrying these classic bags around to coordinate with their Lily Pulitzer dresses and other preppy accoutrements. Well, Sarah Laubinger (WAHM of 2 little ones) has taken this icon of classic New England and given it some modern touches appeal to today's audience.

I was able to customize color and font of this darling little basket. It's a good thing that I decided to design it for my 1-yo, because it was so cute when it arrive that it was all I could do not to steal it! Needless to say, my daughter will not be receiving this anytime soon because it is too precious for her destructive little paws. Someday...
