Backpack Repairs

It looks like we're really hard on our backpacks here in Campbellford!


This well-loved University of Saskatchewan backpack was completely torn out along the top seam.


Now it's as good as new!


This child's backpack had a broken pocket zipper.


I think Molly is going to be pleased!

Taggies for Babies!

Ever noticed that a baby always finds the tag on his or her blanket and loves to chew on it?

 clip right on the diaper bag or car seat belt.
