Old Luggage, To Love or Not to Love...

Last week I found this old briefcase/small luggage bag (??) in an upstairs closet at my house. Needless to say, I fell in love with it. I will cherise anything that is older than I am and exponentially more the older it is.

I was very angry with my parents when I found case stashed away in the back of the closet because they are aware of my love for all things old. I am a very nolstagic individual. My dad thinks I'm a weirdo because I like it.

A couple of months ago I was shopping around online for the perfect older luggage case (Oh Etsy how I love thee!) but I did not have the heart to actually purchase one, or shall I say my wallet didn't have the heart. Given I was looking for those beautiful old leather cases with stickers from all different kind of destinations on them, and the one I found in the closet isn't exactly that, but still!! Come on ma and pa! (No, I don't call my parents ma and pa! I actually call them by their real names but that's a whole other story..)

The moral of the story is that the case is far from my dream case but it is still pretty cool and I am disappointed in my parents for not telling me (Not really, but you get the idea)

Anyway, pictures.........

Y?/N?/Y?/Y? YES!

Mastery of Skill

I have seen this gentleman on a few other blogs and he is absolutely amazing. My first thought after seeing it was "I want to be like him when I grow up." There is just something I find so inspiring and amazing about this man.

Shur Fine Cadillac Whispers...

I have decided to start a blog after reading several others that seem to just be putting pictures of their favorite things on them, and I thought "I can do that." I know there is more to blogging than that, but I think I'll just have a simple little blog about things I'm interested in. Wouldn't want to make something too thought provoking (God forbid!)

I happen to be starting on new years eve but that is purely coincidental. It has less to do with a new beginning and more to do with the fact that its the holiday season and I have a lot of time on my hands.

As far as anything I'll be writing, I think I'll just focus on things that I like. These include the outdoors, camping, socks, movies, all things vintage, and of course SHARP OBJECTS.

I'll leave you with some pics from the holidays and my favorite xmas presents....
