Welcome to The Luxury Issue! There were so many fabulous products to choose from when it came time to design this issue it was difficult to decide which ones to use. We hope that you enjoy our selection and treat yourself and baby to one or perhaps several of them. Whether we afford ourselves certain luxuries or just covet them... we thought this issue would be fun to do -- and it was!

There are baby carriers and then there is the Bill Amberg Shearling Baby Papoose from www.milkshop.com! As their description touts... this is truly the ultimate luxury item for chic and stylish parents around the world. What little darling wouldn't be happy snuggled up to mommy or daddy in this beautifully made carrier?

For many of us, our first "child" was the family pet. Pay homage to your four-legged canine friend with this classic and elegant Hand Painted Toy Chest with Dog Breed by Jane Keltner Brighton Pavillion from www.wellappointedhouse.com. Your baby will smile every time they go to find a toy and see their doggie looking back at them!

If you accessorize by changing your diaper bag like you change your shoes to go with an outfit, the Society Satchel by Petunia Picklebottom from www.kookoobearkids.com is a perfect choice for you. This lovely designer diaper bag comes in three luscious colors which will compliment any wardrobe. What's greater than a functional necessity becoming a fashion statement?

I have long coveted an unforgettable traditional wood rocking horse I'd seen at The Hampton Classic one year. If you want a family heirloom that will be passed down from generation to generation, you'll want to have one hand carved by Crayne Hennessy of Hennessy Horses! Each horse has a genuine horsehair mane and tail and is immaculately outfitted with the highest quality tack. Complete with solid brass stirrups, the English saddles are entirely handcrafted using fine leather and brass fittings. Go to www.finerockinghorses.com to read all about this master's craft and all the wonderful options available for your very own custom rocking horse.

We look forward to bringing you next week's issue -- Back to School. Have a wonderful week everyone.
