Items found

Last night I spread out most of my fun finds from my recent outings. As I was laying things out I kept noticing different things that would go great together! I found that I picked up a lot of items that are different shades of purple. I'm excited to start a project with those items! I thinking maybe on the yellow make-up case. I'm curious to see how the complimentary colors will work on it! Here are just some of my finds :)

The large beige suitcase has 3 more pieces of matching luggage inside of it! The small beige one in the lower right is also a matching piece. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to decorate these ones, or sell them as a set on ebay. It's a great set of vintage luggage that I would love to see go to good use! Also, two of them are a little bit larger than what I have in mind anyway ;)

Part of today will be spent on cleaning up the luggage with some magic erasers and some silver polish. Once I have the green one (my personal one) cleaned up and ready, I'll get out all of my blue, green and clear sparkly items I want to adorn it with. I'll probably just sit and look at the stuff for a while to brainstorm some ideas. Now the fun begins!!!

Too Fun!! Wish I lived near you and we could 'junk hunt' together!! I am anxious to see what you do with adorning the luggage. I love all your cool stuff to pick from.
Found you from seeing you visiting my blog and I am glad I did. I will follow you now and see what you do.

Kristin,
I love vintage suitcases. Did you know they make great props for portraits. You could also recover the inside and turn into a picnic set or wine and cheese tote.

Thanks for your sweet words on my blog,
Kristy
