They just don't make them like they used to. However, these beauties need not be limited to just travel. They are perfect for storing linens, winter sweaters, knick knacks or anything else that tickles your fancy. In fact, I've seen these being turned into doggy or kitty beds! Just thrown in some comfy pillows and voila! Your Fido or Fluffy will be thrilled!</span></strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuk-qCOKwGCwBPVHerM5sRkSyQsmexrMYWPtMHvuh6nTS0pGKrhLMPAGys4ogtOitkfQOgWReG4AC12zyhqpOpheuX-2Ei_utMfTFLYEyXyK48BTB-KfE8rdu-45BDYcfebJafodhI0tY/s1600-h/100_6066.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194105242213268690" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuk-qCOKwGCwBPVHerM5sRkSyQsmexrMYWPtMHvuh6nTS0pGKrhLMPAGys4ogtOitkfQOgWReG4AC12zyhqpOpheuX-2Ei_utMfTFLYEyXyK48BTB-KfE8rdu-45BDYcfebJafodhI0tY/s400/100_6066.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> <strong><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff6666;">I absolutely love painted chairs. The wonderful thing about them is that they can be placed anywhere. It doesn't have to be just for a dining table. Think outside the box and place one of these as your desk chair or bedroom chair. I also love the Swedish/Scandinavian feel of this chair. I want to re-do my home in a Scandinavian, all white/vintage theme, but with two dogs and a cat... I'm not so sure.</span></strong><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4PFe9BsWT3yVIpeFKIZPyR2t8m1maEbEmUTS66jpbN69QUhbFA9jZsXIE0_Tn-DfoNDSUEfpUnP8OFf_uZ_s8XsaP0ZD9bWGSSXDMM9NuXVGS4ikbyg2ViUkTBW1AYE1WEB-t3gUVdW0/s1600-h/100_6078.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194104185651313762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4PFe9BsWT3yVIpeFKIZPyR2t8m1maEbEmUTS66jpbN69QUhbFA9jZsXIE0_Tn-DfoNDSUEfpUnP8OFf_uZ_s8XsaP0ZD9bWGSSXDMM9NuXVGS4ikbyg2ViUkTBW1AYE1WEB-t3gUVdW0/s400/100_6078.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> <strong><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#ff6666;">This is depression glass. Obviously, glass items made during the Great Depression in the 1930s. It comes in all different designs and colors. Making a dinner table with these dishes and bowls is stunning. It's sure to impress any guest. </span></strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY5mHMek_4xflV6FM6GHYgnczFlfl1EvSNn2AARgLa8C52IgVf86BnYN_UM5Kvm3_tpkmqG2JuSy-xvWYF7ijvGfgYoH4_oZSZ-IxiEp55lbkM1UuxfjDuPPrcK4GmKoa0-3eRAh9QdiU/s1600-h/100_6077.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194104194241248370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY5mHMek_4xflV6FM6GHYgnczFlfl1EvSNn2AARgLa8C52IgVf86BnYN_UM5Kvm3_tpkmqG2JuSy-xvWYF7ijvGfgYoH4_oZSZ-IxiEp55lbkM1UuxfjDuPPrcK4GmKoa0-3eRAh9QdiU/s400/100_6077.JPG" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> <strong><span style="color:#ff6666;">I love table cloths.

I was so inspired by all of the beautiful depression glass. What a gorgeous way to make a table for a dinner party. The other pictures are of vintage items I found to be interesting and eye catching. Part of being a vintage items collector is having an eye for unique vintage items that may not initially stand out while perusing the shops. Next time you head out to your local antique store or flea market, consciously attempt to pick out items that do not easily stand out. You'll be surprised at how much more there is in that shop than you originally thought!</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="color:#ff6666;"></span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="color:#ff6666;">Happy Decorating!</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="color:#ff6666;">Mina</span></strong></div></div>
