To reclaim and reinvent.

So, my beloved partner is obsessed with anything to do with the world wars, affectionately and reverently referred to as 'WW1 or WW2' around our house. So, when I was in Seattle last summer, visiting family, I brought back a vintage WW1 military backpack as a gift for him...

This selfsame backpack has sat, unused, in our closet since. And because I have been thrown off-balance by baby-in-sling as of late, I'm reclaiming it, A) as mine, and B) as a non-military, hippie-lovin', nappy-toting vessel of love.

So here goes. I include a 'before' picture... even though I've already covered the USA logo with some flower power.
