    This is definitely a TRUE trash to treasure. On my bucket list I have always wanted to makeover vintage suitcases. Well.. sometimes you take what you are given.

    I like your idea to make your suitcases very sturdy. You two not only make beautiful items, you do honest work & I would not be afraid to buy anything from you.

    Yvonne….THIS ARE FABULOUS…. Truly fabulous ! I love the paint colors…the Rub-N-Buff was perfect for the hardware….then those legs ! I say you picked the perfect style leg for them. Wood I don’t think would have looked right….JUST PERFECT all the way around !
    Then the accents on them…..lady you are GOOD ! I think I’m watching this again…so enjoyed it all! I am SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE ! I can’t wait for you to tell us how people respond to them in your Booth !

    I have three vintage suitcases. You crushed it. Now I'm feeling guilty like I need to redo mine as well. You and Chris always put so much care into the work that you do. I know that you are a godly woman and it reflects in the work you do. Do everything as though you do it unto the Lord. Thank you

    Love, love, love old suitcases. What you did with these is just divine. I have simply stadied mine in different rooms and use them as storage. The only one I have ever painted was a blue one from the set I received as a graduation gift in 1973. I collect train cases and use them to hold different categories of craft supplies.

    I grew up antique shopping with my parents when things were cheap. How things have changed. I have always repurposed or recycled old vintage and antique pieces. Now I’m just starting in a different direction taking it a little bit more serious so that I’m able to sell and please other people beside myself. I am telling you this because I have learned so much from you and your husband on how you do things how you approach things just you’re cleaning and setting up and just trying to make everything perfect. I really have learned and continue to learn your way of handling your business and I very much want to handle it the same way. Thank you so much for your continued interest in others and just giving out as much information as possible. And I love your Attention to detail. I hope one day I’n able to take a trip and come out to your shop and see things in person. Again thank you and I will continue to watch and share information that you have shared with me.

    You did such a good job on the suitcases. That is one thing I’ve been wanting to do also because it looks like it be so much fun. I’m glad I had a chance to see how you did yours so now I have a better idea how to tackle one. And I was also wondering if it would be cost-effective to re-do the inside with material. So I think I’m gonna do it your way and just remove it and clean it up. Also good idea to put that piece of wood in there to make it more sturdy. Great job as usual.

    Great idea for new hinges and one to hold it up.
