I like to go on occasion -- but being on a fixed income now, we don't go like we used to.
But on this trip I was looking for one thing.
SUIT CASES.
I am IN LOVE with this NEW Old idea revolution and stacked storage solution! I've seen this everywhere-- I love it.

You may have seen these at Donna's party last weekend-- posted by Fleur Cottage.- Absolutely beautiful!
- I'm feeling inspired!
- And I want some!
I don't have any luggage except 1 very large modern, soft-sided, suitcase. NOT what I want to decorate with.
So here is the catch-- I'm frugal. I try not to buy things just because I want them. I must have a purpose.
A BONA FIDE REASON to go buy something.
Well, I've figured it out- all the pictures and bibles and things we've inherited from my MIL's house after she passed came here. In boxes! I have no idea why she didn't have albums-- but they're in boxes-- cardboard boxes. I've had to toss some of the photos because they've been eaten!
You get the idea.
So-- I told Honey, "oh, suitcases would be nice." They won't be crammed in a closet somewhere-- they're easy to get to for the kids and family to look at -- and in the suitcases they'll be attractive enough to sit out in the open.
Yay!
I found two suitcases. I paid $8.00 for the pair.
I'm so happy.
I'm having to be creative with them, because they are old--
and need
I don't mind.
They'll be so pretty when I'm finished.
I'm hoping to finish them up this weekend after Thanksgiving.
God Bless you
and
Thanks for reading.
