Up-cycled Vintage Suitcase

Hello Dear Reader, i am finally back with you a day later than i had planned i am sorry but you have no idea how much you have on your computer that you just cant function without until you have reloaded it all back on!  But it is done now and i am back with you my postings after today will continue as normal on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and maybe with a few bonus ones if you’re lucky :)
So my project to share with you is the vintage suitcase that i had told you about a few weeks ago that i had found at a boot sale that Mr.C had not wanted me to buy…. Well i did and i got to work with my staple gun and here it is as a display stand for a craft fair that i attended on Sunday in Chelmsford.
 
Here you can see it is all full with some of my wares for the day and i have just noticed that one of the cards had fallen down but this is the only photo i had taken as i had forgotten my camera so you will have to forgive me the poor photo. 
As you can see i have completely upholstered the inside with fabric as it had a wooden frame that i could staple into.  Then i raised the height of the bottom layer with a trusty cardboard box cut and shaped to fit the base.  I then covered a board as i would for a notice board without the ribbons as a flat surface for my gift boxes to rest on.  The lid of the suitcase has been turned into a no pin notice board with Stampin’ Up! gorgeous vintage faceted designer buttons and large pearls with add a bit off sparkle {and cover the staples ;) lol}
I will be back later in the week with details of my Easter gift baskets,  But for now just a quick reminder that Sale-a-Bration ends in 3 days so if there are any products you NEED from this fantastic promotion please be sure to get your order to me by 1pm Friday afternoon so that i can get it processed for you before the deadline.
Until next time

woyww? February 27th 2013

Hello Dear Reader and woyww’ers can you believe that it is already nearly the end of February already!?! I know i can’t; this year is flying by.  I have been very busy this week getting things ready for a Spring Fair that is coming up in March.

Lots of chocolate to fill lots of treats with and the mini milk cartons that i had been making the other week are now finished and here they are;
All finished and full to the brim of chocolate eggs! :)

So for the rest of the day i shall be cracking on with more Easter baskets.  Me and Mr.C did a boot sale at the weekend to clear some of the junk we seemed to have accumulated and after clearing lots of the junk and ending up in good profit i relieved the man on the next pitch of a vintage steamer trunk that i have good ideas for and visions of it becoming a display piece for my wares, i will share with you once it is done.

It’s craft group tonight at mine, so i had best get on so i can get cleared up for all the ladies to come too i love how social crafting can be.

If you would like any products used to produce this project then please contact me craftylittlemoo@hotmail.co.uk

Until Next Time
