Suitcase Saturday


 A decorative hatbox this time, found at Michael's, 30% off and a 20% off total purchase coupon to boot!  It holds my collection of vintage photos(ones that are not cabinet cards or cartes de visite).


I've found them at antique malls and faires, 
flea markets, thrift stores and swap meets.


 On our trip to England several years ago I scoured the street markets at Greenwich and Portobello Road, the boot sales, small antique shops and jumble sales.


There are snaps, formal studio shots, even a few tintypes!
I love to look at the long-ago faces and try to divine their secrets.

They are perfect for altered books, journals, 
in the corner of a collage or assemblage.
