Before and After

Picked up this leather traveling case at a yard sale right around the corner last summer (smaller than usual at only 8 inches square) . . .

 cleaned it up a bit


Just knew there was something that could be done  to jazz it up!

After looking at it in my studio for almost a year, I dug in to my doilies, buttons and laces . . .




Printed off some luggage labels from Google Image . . . 


Added a beveled mirror, more trim, some old jewelry and another label to the inside






I'm very pleased with the result and proud to say I've been to at least one of these places . . . Raffles Hotel in Singapore!
