A friend of mine..........you know who you are..........got me hooked of finding fun old luggage. "Why?" you ask (along with my husband). Not sure yet. I thought I needed another project to "halfway finish." I am sure after I spiff them up a bit they would be fun for Sarah to carry her treasures . Has anyone ever painted luggage? How did it turn out........??

What a neat thing! My neighbor in WY used to re-furnish old trunks, some of them turned out gorgeous!! Good luck!! I wish I knew something about it to help ya out!
OMG! You are too funny.
Notice Ashley said "some of them turned out gorgeous." HA!
Just add it to the list...sorry Paul.
Ok...it is time for you to teach me how to be a crafty collector.
I have not painted any, but I have decopauged them using vintage paper. I loved the way they came out. One holds my daughters early artwork and another holds birthday cards I've received over the years. I first saw the deco-technique by a lady who was in her 80's and she lives in the Cays. She is now well into her 90's but I have not seen her in over a year. She must have had 50 cases in her house..what a hoot she was. I will never forget her as long as I live! Have fun with yours. :)
ohhh! i LOVE vintage luggage. that blue one is darling! what fun!
It sounds fun...I think you could do just about anything to them...hmmm can't wait to see the finished pieces!
I saw somewhere in the web, decoupage beauty cases. Maybe! Ciao
yep...decoupage is the way to go...just like every one else has mentioned...your favorite scrapbook papers...vintage sheet music...i have some replica vintage luggage stickers at Vignettes..that you could add to also...i bet you'll come up with something fabulous!!
My Gosh Dana, I used to have the same luggage........baby blue......I will keep my eye out for some..........love and nite nite Mom
Hi
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Is it just me or do our 3 year old daughter's have an uncanny resemblance to each other?
BTW, I have project ADD too...in a bad way!!:)
