If you have a suitcase handy, it holds the promise of travel.
This is the season when many travel for holiday gatherings.
This is the season when many need to find a place to hide stuff before those traveling reach your house. YIKES!
Grab a suitcase and fill it up - company is coming!
ONE SUITCASE
TWO SUITCASES
THREE SUITCASES
FOUR SUITCASES.
ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR!
I love this stack of suitcases that all fit into each other. Yes, I know one is a tote, not really a suitcase, but STILL what a cute stack.
Chucks saw the one suitcase in the car and said he was so proud that I had only bought one case on thrifting day.
I had to own up to it being four because he kept hanging around when I was trying to get a photo. How annoying!
These two were hidden in the living room which is rapidly emptying as the Christmas decorating season is upon us. (Actually a heavy weight on top of me!)
Twin Monarchs with flat, easy-to-stack tops.
Just think of all you could hide in these vintage beauties.
Now all of these you have seen over the last few months. I picked up one or two here and one there as I thrifted through summer and fall.
Now they are ready to travel over to Riverfront Antique Mall to live until someone takes them home.
By the way, those small suitcases and the train cases make great bedside guest gifts. Just fill them with snacks, books, magazines, and lotions for your guests. Then let them take them home if they want.
Besides you know me - there are more hiding in the attic!
Hope everyone is enjoying this Thanksgiving week - be safe!
See y'all!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This is a huge trend right now - I've seen them everywhere and my favorite store has some that she painted pink and stacked in a fireplace - so cute. I love the idea of using the small train cases as gifts for guests. I'm looking for some now for my New Year's Eve guests!

ReplyDeleteI had practically become a Hoarder of Beautiful Vintage Suitcases... now many have gone to my new Showroom at the Antique Mall to find new Homes too. *Whew!* A Vintage Suitcase Intervention is no longer necessary... *Winks*
