On the plus side. Wasn't Cobalt Blossoms one of their summer prints last year? yet it has reappeared... In fact in many ways the response to Seaglass is reminding me of the response to Cobalt.
Blossoms was a spring reveal, but yes, Cob and Onyx were released in the Be Prepared later. And Cob sets.
EL with Sea Glass lining, say on the MB and Quick, would be fun!!
OMG!! I would buy that in a heartbeat!

Re: Are Hips discontinued?
I really appreciate Joe's comments. The BH is a very large purse. If you need a smaller purse (me), there are no options. As Christine said, there are no more lights, no more minis, 2 bags that *could be* purses. I just can't use a tween or a small as a purse (they are gone too). I wear normal size sunglasses, so the sunglass case is too large for me. And I don't go anywhere with my laptop, and don't have an iPad, so no use for laptop cases! I must be a really boring person with none of the latest and greatest technology! I have used my set pieces as a purse before, which is awesome, but nothing new there, and sets are going for really high prices right now, so I couldn't buy one if I wanted to! Yes, I am a complainer this morning!!!!!!!!!! I love ya Joe, and think you are VERY smart, business-wise, so I know you are going to continue to grow and become an even more wonderful company! Even if I am left in the dust! I love the tote of the MB, loved the hip (gone?), and the WB is great for summer! (also gone?) Totally love the wallets, but I am not a wallet changing type of gal, so I use my mine and and everytime I change - I go right back to it. It is just perfect for me! So I am still on the hope of a purse. A real purse! Girls can dream, can't they?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?
ps - Kelly - I hope my previous post was not offensive to you or Joe or any of your family members. That was NOT my intent at all, by any means. I will always support JJB, and love it. I just can't convince my dh to have another baby so I can use more bags from this company! I thought it might be easier to convince the company to make (more) purses..........

When I have told Joe about this general sentiment among some PLs, his response was, "You mean people would like us to make things other than just diaper bags? Like maybe purses, totes, wallets, sunglasses cases, laptop bags, stuff like that?"
Oh, that Joe; he cracks me up! Here's the thing, you can never have too much of a good thing. And Ju Ju Ju Be...well, darn it, it's a good thing. I mean, what PL wouldn't want to drive a car painted in their favorite print?? RIGHT?!? (Go Joe, run with it! Just think: A Perky Mini Van. Oh yes.)
There was the Zebra painted (Safari Stripes) JuJuBe Bus!!

Yes, I'm a hippie at heart.
Just like Jaime-Lynne's siggy, the Blue Bouquet VW Bus.
So does the Hippie in you need a BeHip??
You know what, I got my first BeHip last month! In PT!
It was the most perfect bag this weekend at the homeschool convention. I wore it for 2.5 days straight, crossbody, and I packed that sucker full! There were 100s of vendor booths and I'm sure I got at least a flyer from every single one! Most of them I got a catalog. And then there were the books and dvds that I bought... It got quite heavy, but it held up to the task SO well! And I couldn't have lived without the bottle pockets! Perfection!

I was even spotted by another PL!
Awesome!!!

Oh, I like this. My MINI Countryman is light coffee with a white roof. MINI's are meant to be customized and often are. Would it be weird if I put Sangria paisley stickers on it? Or maybe CK (if I like it enough IRL)? Or maybe just a variety of Blossom or BB flowers? I am so not a bumper sticker person but THIS I could get on board with.
So another extension idea for JJB: Decals in the most popular prints.
