I carry my Arya every day to work. Laptop. Wallet. Knitting. Computer and phone cords. Paperwork and ...... The bag is awesome and will hold lots of stuff. It's a great carry on bag if you fly a lot.

Theodora (this is the colour that I'm getting-there are 3 in the box)
These should be here in a week or so.

The weather channel is on right now (I'm turning into my father - he watches it all the time)  and it looks like we're getting snow tomorrow. And it could be lots of snow. If we get what they're calling for then the store might not open in the morning. I'll see what it looks like when I wake up. There will be posts on Facebook and Twitter (@NeedleEmporium).
