It is safe to say I was having a crap week last week. My friend Lindsay invited me to an event at Artisans Gallery, a unique gift shop I had been to a few times before. And I knew the one thing that would really cheer me up would be my DC blogging pals. So I headed out in the pouring rain to learn about Scout bags and bins. And to see my friends. Which made me so happy.
I had never heard of Scout before this event and I am a convert now. They have bags and bins for everything. And when I got home with some of the bags Scout and Artisan had given me, my husband, who is not easily excited, was all "this is a perfect beach bag." And then we started fighting over the lunch bag. And I'm headed back to Artisans today to get the Tote that holds your phone and your keys. Because I'm always losing my phone and my keys, so maybe if I had one thing that holds them both it would help. Maybe.
I'm reviewing them more fully at Joeshopping.

Disclosure: I was invited to attend an event sponsored by Scout and Artisans, and was not compensated to attend. I was presented with gifts by Artisans and Scout and also purchased items at Artisans by Scout at a discounted rate. I did not receive any monetary compensation for this post, and I was not asked to write about the event. All opinions expressed are my own. And Doug's. He really loved the Pocket Rocket.

I love the Tote All Pkg too and would probably get one in the Black Croc or Navy Jones pattern. I’m also thinking that Fast Getaway might be a good bag since I’ve been looking for new luggage and will have to visit Artisans so I can see it in person!
OK the lockit pocket rocket looks awesome. But it’s not available yet so I must curse you.
The 4 boys bag is my favorite – the perfect beach/pool/sports bag!
I like the uptown girl bag in mint julep, although I really like everything I see!
My favorite is the four boys bag. We need a giant bag.
I think I’m in love. I’ll take one of each, in Prep Stripe Pink Cardigan.
I love all the bins, and I need to redo my kitchen/office area to match the LSDaisley fabric. The Got Issues is my favorite.
The four boys bag looks awesome!
I can’t believe how many other people agree with me….the four boys bag is definitely the bomb. I love the doggie bag as well. It is a lot cuter than the one I use now.
They are all great. I tend to agree with the other commenters though about the four boys bag!
since I have 4 boys I love the four boys bag, but they all look great!
The four boys bag— can we say heaven? And the baguette tote– perfect!!
Oooh, I’d get the El Deano Insulated tote. I’ve been on the market for one of these but I haven’t seen any that were big enough in a pattern I really liked until now! I have to take so much food with me everywhere I go for my kids it would be a great help!
I’ve been looking for a decent lunch tote for a while so the Ice Ice Baby or Doggie Bag would be perfect. I also love that they have patterns more suitable for guys (I think I know what I’m getting my BF).
That Four Boys bag looks fantastic. I’m always looking for large but lightweight bags. When I take all three kids into daycare, especially on a Monday, I have three blankets, two pillows, diapers and wipes for the baby, and who knows what other stuff they “need” that day. On the way out it’s plants, art projects, show and tell, books they’re borrowing, who knows. I bet I could put that bag though its paces!!
I could totally use the divide and conquer bin for my desk. my desk is such a mess right now.
I too, love that Tote All! I have small kids, and can’t always grab my whole purse. BUT, I need to have my phone and keys. I don’t know anyone who can comforatbly keep their smart phone in their pant pocket. This would be AWESOME!
The fact that I keep finding more and more grey hairs – Yes I’m a guy and it bugs me
I’m with you in the Drama
I am holding you personally responsible for the argument that is going to occur when my husband realizes I have bought one of each.
I must have the Lock it Pocket Rocket (though I apparently must wait for that) and I think I am going to start by ordering a Cool Clutch and a Divide and Conquer. And maybe one of those keys and phone holders too…:)
Fell in love w/Four Boys Bag b/f even reading the comments here. But am torn btw it and the Hilary Duffle b/c name is so cute.
fast getaway in scout signature so that we can finally throw away my husband’s ugly mets overnight bag. not acceptable now that we have baby’s clothes to pack, too. thnx!
Oooh, it says Coming Soon, but the Junque Trunk. Or, you know me, the Laundrylicious bag. Heh.
My favorite is the Be-low Me in Croc!
I love the junque trunk!
The Uptown Girl is sweet! Actually, all these bags look great.
I like the pocket rocket! I love little pockets to put things in.
I love the uptown girl tote! So classy and sassy!
What a selection! I love the weekender in the navy jones pattern. Actually probably anything in that pattern. love the blue and white paisley!
Love the market scout bag!
