Oooooooo, I really WANT to be a diaper bag junkie, but........

[kfcboston]

I just don't think I can afford it!! One glance at the topics running in here these days shows lots of gorgeous, fabulous, EXPENSIVE bags! Any thoughts on some cheaper bags worth craving?

[elvisfan]

try ebay. seriously. and get the bags you crave

[Momof3Labs]

The Ella bags were only $30 (for a custom made bag!!) through the co-op last month!

[kfcboston]

So far I DO have a handmade one off of eBay, a LE Little Tripper, an Eagle Creek backpack, the Similac black freebie and the bigger Eddie Bauer tote I only use for overnights. I seem to cycle them in and out over time. I've already sold my smaller EB one on eBay.

Any specific sellers you recommend?

[kfcboston]

LORI!!! Noooooooooooooooo.................. That hurts so much. Darn.

Edited to add - I just PMed Debbi about getting in on the next one. Can you tell I'm a woman on a mission? :)

[houseof3boys]

You're on the next list babe!

Start deciding now, since it took some of us (okay...me) a loooooong time to decide on fabrics and details. We were obsessed with decisions and a few of us had some sleepness nights. It was hysterical. :)

Debbie:

I'd also love to be added to the list for the next Ella co-op. Thanks!

Not brand name bags by any strech, but Target has some cool summer totes with pockets. I have the straw one with blue pinstripe for a cool 16.99. Their bags are quite cute and there's a large selection!

HTH,
Mary

[kfcboston]

Thanks, Debbi! Just so I can start deciding, is it $30 for any bag, or is it a little more complicated than that?

Mary, that is a really good point. I'm always eyeing those bags as I walk into my Target - the section is right at the fron door. Hmmmmm......

Debbi, I would love to be added to the next Ella co-op!

You may also want to try out the Baby Bags Swap group on Yahoo. Some cute stuff pops up on there every now and then. I just got THE CUTEST Ella Tote for $20 including shipping!

Please, please count me in on the next co-op. I can already see how this bag collection starts and I love it!:D

[MichelleRC]

Please count me in for the next co-op also! I have been lusting over those cute summer fabrics!
Thanks so much!

Please add me to the list for the next co-op. I've already ordered 2 Ella bags and can't wait to get another!!

[lmintzer]

Ooh, how fun! Count me in for the next co-op too. Do I need to PM you, or is this okay?

[Momof3Labs]

Last time, it was $30 for anything except for the Lily ($10 extra, I think) and the adult backpack ($15 extra, I think). The child backpack wasn't available back then. Who knows if she'll do prices that low this time; I don't think that we can necessarily count on it!

[Andrea S]

I would love to be on the list. Im missed the first one.

Yup, I second eBay. I got two Sally Spicer bags,...one for $22 (barely used) and the dragonfly tote in black for $50 brand new! Haven't received the dragonfly yet,...once I do I have to decide which one to give up!

[JamiMac]

Oh, I would like to be on the Ella list also! Thanks!

[mattysmom]

I emailed you to get on the list, but I wanted to make sure I was on it. Thanks and I'm looking forward to the discount (hopefully soon!)

I would love to be on the list for the next Ella co-op as well! Despite the fact that I organized a Petunia co-op, I didn't even order one. For $30 I could go for two Ellas. :-)

[sarahfran]

I'd like to be on the Ella list too, please!

Debbi, hope you don't mind but I sent you a pm to add me to the Ella list. Thanks.

[arcoe]

Can I be added to the list too? Thanks so much!!!

I love the small navy tote I just bought at Target (less than $10!). I may also buy one in red or natural. It's great for short trips, and easily holds everything I need. (I don't use bottles, however.) There's a giant version of it too for a few dollars more. HOWEVER, I may want to get on the ELLA list too as I am a "former-purse-junkie" turning into a "diaper-bag-junkie." :) I don't really like my current big diaper bag, and the larger Target tote is a bit overwhelming for someone of my short height. What do I do to get on the Ella list if I decide to? And by when? Thanks!

[missliss55]

I just got my Ella and love it. Please put me on the list again, I would love to get another.
