So i have been hunting for a new camera bag for a while ... I actually have a couple of Lowe Pro bags but well they're black & look like camera bags & really just not me. Not saying they aren't wonderful at what they do i just don't like them. & my cat has "upscaled" one into a bed for her! So anyways i have been on the search for something a little more different that i could love & use day in & day out ... & finally have months of searching i found one.

Ok so technically it's not an actual camera bag but i've turned it into one! Bought from an etsy shop called Get Ready Set Go, it is a vintage leather bag upcycled by the fabulous Rachel. I can't lie i have been stalking her shop since i discovered it knowing that one day the perfect bag would come along & not only that but she kindly put her artistic skills to the test & gave me the perfect 3 birds i craved.

So from here i have taken out some of the inserts from the camera bag come cujo's new bed to pad the sides (i will try & take photos later) & with my camera, & two lenses inside i still have plenty of space for other things (including a book which i never leave the house without), & of course the little front pocket at the front perfect for my wallet & keys etc ...

Oh & being that it is a bag & something my cats can climb inside here is damn-it demonstrating the easy access opening!

fabulous find ...

So there i am looking at the etsy front page & i come across an interview with the wonderful interview with Jayne of Like Kittysville Mod Beds. I laughed, why because she's funny ... no seriously funny. & honest & i like honest. & well maybe with a little of the crazy cat lady inside of her, kind of like i would be if well Kevin didn't get in the way. (But there will be a day many years from now when i will live in my house, wearing only my wedding dress surrounded by cats & kids will make bets on who can knock on the door ... yes i strive to be the crazy cat lady).

So anyways Jayne makes beds ... but not just any kind of bed, gorgeous funky cat beds that i so want but know that my cats would never sleep in. Why because there's nothing wrong with this fabulous (yes i said fabulous) beds just that my cats are awkward pains in the behind & on the basis that i paid good money for these would have way more fun using them as scratching posts.

So anyways i felt the need to write about her wonderful little shop because simple I'm happy to find someone else out there who's possible a little obsessed with their cats like me!
