The love...

... of an old suitcase.

What's the appeal of 

these old, utilitarian 

pieces of history?

Is it the warm colors,

the worn & tattered material,

the idea that they have 

traveled far & wide?

   

They are such fun 

decorating pieces, yet they 

still provide function.

They've never lost 

their usefulness.

This one is storing some of my

Whistle Stop memorabilia ready

to go in the scrapbook. 

The second one holds 

holiday crafts in progress, 

the third old pictures,

the next two old mementos.

I've thought about selling

them, but as I look at 

them I'm not sure I can.

They seem like old friends.

 A friend of mine has this great

tower of old suitcases in her home. 

Decorated so cute with the 

handmade tags. I love all the 

different shades and textures.

Maybe my stack just 

needs a few new friends.
