Eclectic, quirky, and sometimes edgy…this is how things look from my front porch.

I Love It When a Plan Comes Together!




Somewhere along the way, I realized that I loved old suitcases.  Maybe it was something I saw in Victoria Magazine.  It was so long ago that I don't recall.  For the past five years or so, I've been picking up vintage suitcases at church tag sales, from the curb waiting for the trash, and, most recently, for $4 from Goodwill.

Finally, I have enough to make the stacked vignette I've been planning for my stair landing for all these years.  That's my grandmother Dunn in the flapper-esque picture.  I believe this was her engagement photograph.  The little orangey box  came from her dresser set from way back then.  There was a mirror, long gone now.

Annie, thanks for visiting my blog -- and un-lurking for a day! Your home and house is soooo lovely, I have "abode-envy!"

I hope you don't mind that I put a link up to you...
