backpacks and back to school
always makes me feel a little bittersweet,
like this old song called “Try to Remember”
about a time in September
and it’s so melancholy and tinged with goodbye
and also with new beginnings and adventure
and smells like green apples and little snickers bars:)
I love it all……awesome backpacks….my kids would’ve loved:)

Love these all but very very interested in the dog backpack (#1). Any chance it will be available again? The bulldog is adorable!!!! Would love this for my grand kids (we have bulldogs!). Thanks for such a great site. I posted you on my Facebook page for all my BULLDOGGERS to see!!!!
Hello Nancylynn:
Thank you so much for your inquiry and for sharing my website on your Facebook Page! The cute bulldog backpack is sold by The Gap and is out of stock at this time. I am not sure if/when they would bring it back in stock.
I did some searching to see if I could find you a similar backpack elsewhere. It could only find one bulldog backpack. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Gentleman-English-Bulldog-Design-Backpack/dp/B00CMV7VKC/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1390191122&sr=1-2&keywords=bulldog+backpack
