For The Love Of Old Suitcases

I just love old suitcases. Every time I come across one I have a hard time refusing. They have so much character and come in so many different styles, colors, textures and sizes. These vintage finds are so versatile and have so many uses. My favorite way is to stack, stack and stack....


I often store my finds inside. The only problem with this is that after few months I forget what I have hidden away in the cases. I find myself pulling them down and searching each case to find my forgotten treasures. It's like Christmas Day or a great pick me up in the middle of winter when there are no Garage Sales to be found.


I know there are several ways to revamp old suitcases for new use. Maybe someday I'll give one these techniques a try. Until then I will continue to grab up every new case I find and stack away....



Have a great week, and remember to:
Recycle, Reimagine, Repurpose, Reuse.
Until Next Time......

Suitcase pocket





I just finished this project. I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I wish I would have taken before and after pictures of the comb and mirror set. They were a bright pink plastic set I purchased from the thrift store. I painted them and added some embellishments. All the materials I used for this project were either thrift store or yard sale finds.

Keep On Junking
