Look what I found! One of those pieces that as soon as I spied it in the store, I knew, no ifs or buts; this baby was coming home with moi!
Wanna hear something a little quirky or as my kids would say a little random... when I see a piece Vintage luggage goodness... Dr Seuss's "Oh the Places you'll Go" always springs to mind.... Yep. I know weird right?!
“Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!”

Your mountain is waiting,
So... get on your way!”

He's found a home for now in our lounge room, but I think he'd also work well in our more casual family room. So there may be more travels in store for this handsome devil!
Do you have a thing for Vintage Luggage too?

ReplyDeleteYours is perfect for a coffee table. What a terrific find.
I'm your linky neighbor at You're Gonna Love It Tuesday, and I do love your trunk!
Hi Sarah, thank you, I do feel lucky :) Jo x

Vintage trunks are SO pretty and can be used in so many ways. I have been on the lookout for one like this for awhile. You snagged a good find!!

Thanks Kylie! I love it, it was my lucky day! Good luck with your hunt ;) Jo x
DeleteI love the color of your trunk! I have 2, both are mostly brown. One is a camel back and the other has wood slats on the top. I love them both and will never part with them. We used to use one as a coffee table, but now it serves as a bench at the foot of our bed.
ReplyDeleteThis one goes perfectly in this space!
:)

Thanks Kelly! :)
DeleteLove it - what a great find.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kylie! I love him too ;) xx
DeleteOh she/he's beautiful. I always call my vintage she so it's hard to call him a he. Whatever it is I know one thing it's beautiful. I doubt I could have walked past that one either.

DeleteWhat a great piece! I have always dreamed of having a piece of LV vintage luggage but I'll never be able to afford one unless I find one in an op shop!!
