I guess giving it a permanent home, rather than having it constantly transient, has the advantage of keeping it in better nick!Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-63649247675843170012012-08-13T12:13:00.289+01:002012-08-13T12:13:00.289+01:00Very interesting conversation, observations and id...Very interesting conversation, observations and ideas everyone. I have a wonderful vintage trunk in which I keep a few things, the most interesting here being my wedding dress and chiffon/juliet cap veil. It was my mother-in-laws when she travelled to Australia from England on a bride ship at the end of the Second World War. I saw some cute luggage at, I think, Melbourne International airport on the weekend. I guess you don't have time to check out the airport.Susan Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096174755215969268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-35162975694095498882012-08-11T15:48:47.087+01:002012-08-11T15:48:47.087+01:00Definitely would make the travelling experience mo...Definitely would make the travelling experience more glamorous!

Actually, one of the heartbreaking things about my research is the fact that so many of the old beauties that are being sold are being promoted for use as coffee tables, inevitably to furnish some "shabby chic" room. I don't know, it just seems sad that they're no longer travelling the world, as they should be.Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-79762829111917812742012-08-11T15:42:29.285+01:002012-08-11T15:42:29.285+01:00I have an awful feeling I'm going to leave it ...I have an awful feeling I'm going to leave it too late and end up having to improvise with the random luggage I currently have as it's getting quite late in the day...
