I would like to show you what I have been tinkering around with this weekend.
I bought this suitcase, half price in a sale and cut out some copies of French vintage labels, glued them on and then gave it a coating of shellac.
It is lined in a beautiful blue fabric.
Now I can store all my fabrics in it, as the cardboad filing box I had been using, had got too small.
Quote of the day.
It's so hard if I have to
and so easy if I want to.
Annie Gottlier.
Have a happy weekend

very nice Carolyn, there is something about old suitcases who knows where they have been ? what has been packed in there in it's past travels?
ReplyDeleteI would store my precious materials in there as well.
Have a great weekend

ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is wonderful.

Oh, Carolyn! What a fabulous idea! I love the look of vintage suitcases. Why, oh why don't they make travel labels anymore. Surely someone can invent one that sticks to fabric rollerbags. Seeing something like this and knowing it's got precious craft materials inside would send me over the moon!
ReplyDeleteI love that Carolyn!!
ReplyDeleteI love crowns!!
You have a great weekend too!

ReplyDeleteI love all of the labels...great idea! The crown makes it!! Lovely way to store all of the fabric pieces.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your day!
Hugs, Nancy
The quote is too true!!! Love what you did with the suitcase-very creative! I love creative ways to organize:)
ReplyDeleteHi Bella,
ReplyDeleteVintage suitcases with labels were neat as you could see which romantic and exotic places, people travelled to.
