TOO MUCH BAGGAGE

Way back, when I started buying and selling old stuff, I purchased many pieces of old luggage. I had good intentions. I was going to decorate and install new fabrics and bric-a-brac inside. Good intentions I said. It took far longer than I had anticipated and I don't sew. I have finally, after more than a decade, gotten rid of most of that baggage. These are a few that I have left. I painted them and added old repro decals. I also painted a string of pearls, a necktie and an old brassiere coming out of the pieces, like someone was in a big hurry to leave.

Nowadays, I only want the rare and unusual kind. LV and the like. Only problem is, I don't see much of that around these parts and don't have the stomach to buy it on ebay. Maybe, I just don't need all the old baggage.
