these bags fly for free.

i don't recall precisely when it started but there is this love in my heart for vintage suitcases. i search for them at every shop, salvage yard, and sidewalk sale. and now, as i've learned about etsy.com, i've searched online. these are my two favourites.

my first vintage suitcase was a lady baltimore and it's standing beside a cabinet with a table lamp on top. it's just the right height to give the lamp some lift. it's also storing some seasonal craft supplies. so you see, cool vintage suitcases offer more than just good looks.

hooray for holiday travel! and thank you southwest airlines and jetblue for letting bags fly free.

note: if you haven't yet checked out etsy.com, don't wait another minute. you can find terrific gifts, too!
