Bathmat Bagabonn

I was floored when I read about bathtub injuries, and felt a little guilty that we redefined the use of this cute little blue formerly-known as a bathmat (photo to your right) and turned it into a funky bag. We sold out the small inventory we stockpiled, so we're now busy making more and can I just objectively say they are "cute". Now about those injuries in the tub. First off, be careful. Take your time, but know that there are plenty of products on the market that can lead to a safer experience in the bathtub, including tubs that are now made with strips to avoid slipping. The little strips that you can add yourself have been criticized for collecting mildew (ewww! yuck). Bottomline is, be careful and remember you want to get clean when you're behind the shower curtain, not injured.

Shag Bagabonn

If you were fortunate to be around in the sixties when shag carpeting was stylish and just down right groovy, you'll be happy to know it's resurfacing (no pun intended) in its popularity. The cost for shag carpeting varies as much as the lengths of the loops. It's been said that fashion is cyclical and to some extent I agree, but there are some fashions that I don't want to see again. One of those "hope it never returns" styles are the bell bottom pants. I have less of an issue with flare legged pants, but for some reason bell bottoms seemed to be more of a health hazard (caution: can cause tripping) than a fashion statement. One fashion I can't wait for it's turn on the wheel of style is the collar-up. You know what I mean? Member' when we use to flip our collars up? It just seemed to add a bit of style. You just kind of felt as cool as, the Fonz.

Wedding Bagabonn

This is our special little wedding shoulderbag. Isn't it dainty and feminine and just ideal for that special lady on her very special day? You don't want to even think about what it took to make this bag, but let's just say the word "dizzy" comes to mind. Now about weddings. About 2.1 million weddings took place in the United States between December of 2005 and 2006 and not counting the honeymoon, those weddings carried a combined pricetag of $86 billion dollars. Even though that's a pretty big number for people getting hitched, it's a decline from the previous year by more than 60,000. What does that mean? I'm not sure how to analyze the figure. It could mean a number of things, for starters that fewer people are finding the benefit in marriage or it could mean that more people are waiting to make sure that this sacred institution remains a well respected one. By the way, if you're interested, over 9,000,000 weddings were performed in China in a single year (2005) with the average cost per nuptial cosing $19,000. I'm not sure, but I think by American standards, that's a bargain.

Seatbelt Bagabonn

You don't have to answer out loud, but here's a question for you. Do you always wear your seatbelts? And most importantly, if you transport small children in your vehicle, do you always make sure that they are buckled up? I am hoping and suggesting that there are two right answers to these questions. And I will go further to hint that both questions should be answered, "yes". Did you know that each year in the United States, that approximately 40,000 people die each year in car accidents as a result of not wearing their seatbelts. Now I have a little philosophy and rationale for wearing seatbelts from here on out. I say, if you're going to fork over thousands and thousands of dollars for a product (car) that loses half it's value on the same day you drive it off the car lot, you should take advantage of every bell and whistle that that vehicle offers. I mean every little item and amenity should be used, and that means putting on your seatbelts.

Red Tapestry Bagabonn

Who voted? Now admittedly, this is not a political blogsite. We're not endorsing one candidate or political party over the other party or candidate. This is not the site to admire the personal style and swagger of one candidate over that of his or her opponent. We don't care about the type of eyewear you choose, or the alterations you make to a dress. We're not hear to criticize or critique your ability to opine about the economic situation of the country and whether a rescue, bailout or corporate welfare plan is the way to go or not. We don't suggest if you should become involved in the political process or volunteer in your community. We're here for a totally different reason. We're here to bring a smile, not a frown or debate over who's right or who's wrong when it comes to foreign relations. You see at bagabonn we can answer one question for you, and here's the question, "how much is it?"
