Okay, I want to do something similar for Capri like this (click the link to see the cool doll house in a suitcase). But instead I am going to make a play kitchen in a suitcase. But I need an old vintage suitcase first. Like one of the ones that has a hard outer shell. Like in the picture below. So if anyone has one that is around 20 inches long and they want to send it to me they should. Just leave a comment letting me know you have one. I am totally dead serious about this.
I wish you lived near here — I almost bought a super cute old suitcase the other day but I couldn’t rationalize spending even a few bucks (and the space to keep it in my small apartment) on something I didn’t have a use for in mind. Stupid. I could have used it to store my craft stuff, or for a project like this! Damn!
I’d buy you one and ship it but I’m sure the shipping cost would be insane and money is an issue for both of us. (PS That’s why I like your blog so much – We’re REALLY thrifty by necessity.)
Maybe you can find something on Craigslist? Put an ad out saying you’re looking for one.
