| Time for sharing another one of my collections. I love having collections that are as functional as they are aesthetically-pleasing.
Vintage luggage can be found at yard sales, antique malls, and ebay. They come in beautiful vintage colors, instantly giving away the time period from which they came. |

These sturdy pieces are great as attractive storage solutions. You can store paperwork, magazines, paperback books, scrapbook supplies, photographs, etc.
These funky orangey-brown pieces blend perfectly into my husband’s office. They belonged to his grandfather and still bear his initials. |
This hot pink case works great for dollclothes storage. And the cool retro Barbie color works great in her room.
| I stacked these two matching creamy pieces of luggage, then attached some wooden bun “feet” to make it into a side table. I’m obviously not using it that way currently – it instead holds my jewelry in my bedroom.
It also houses all my children’s artwork and school memorabilia. Each girl has her own, but they stay together and in a conveniently accessible place for mom. |

I use this large blue suitcase to store my cake decorating supplies. The smaller one is where I keep special cards and letters from loved ones.
They just don’t make this kind of luggage anymore, so savor the vintage! |
