Suitcases, You Can't Have Too Many


I've posted about my attraction to suitcases before. I'm sure many of you share the same addiction, ahem, desire to collect them!  These sit in my sewing room.  The tags... this is about as "cutesie" as I get and I have to tell you, I think they are great.  I bought them on Etsy, but currently the woman has her shop closed, so  I'm glad I bought quite a few from her in two different styles when I did.  The black is chalk cloth so they can be used again and again.

Can you see the bottom one?  Labeled "Ethel's"?  I bought that suitcase with many little fabric pieces and crochet samples from my great aunt Ethel's auction many years ago.  Most of the little pieces are still in there.

I have more suitcases for storage and display all over the house and as I dust for graduation this May, I'll take more pictures!
