Traveling Man

I went to the Lafayette Flea Market after church on Sunday, and perused their many antique wares.  There were quite a few awesome suitcases I looked at adding to the travel-themed living room, but most were priced higher than I wanted to spend.  The burgundy one I added to my suitcase side table, however, was a mere $12.  Lovely price for a lovely 1940s suitcase!

You can also get a glimpse of the downright gorgeous hand-crocheted throw with soothing yellow, white, and gray squares and a beautiful border.  How this work of art ended up at a thrift store, I will never understand.  But for $3.50, I just couldn't pass up a handmade piece of history.
