TO LEAVE OR NOT TO LEAVE

 That is my question!

So while searching for railway station suitable props amongst my few pitiful items...... okay not few..

I remembered I had acquired a good while back a dolls sized travelling trunk, I thought it might be a little big for this display and it turned out I was correct.


Which was a shame because it would have looked good on the luggage trolley! 


a closer look at the labelling


the inside

Now it's not got the tops to the locks, it didn't cost me an arm and a leg, yes it's old but maybe 60's 70's,

should I give it a new lease of life?


Among my bits and bobs I had these travel stickers, so I'm wondering about maybe adding them to this trunk to give it an international favour ( The other old stickers seem to all be around the UK ) These stickers are vintage style and once they are on, I have a man ( Paul ) who knows how to make them look older with a stain. Plus a nice piece of fabric stuck to the inside would look nice I think. Plus a couple of thick leather straps to close it outside.

So what do others think ? to leave? or not to leave? that is my question.

  1. I would leave it as a national travel trunk and get another one as the international one! LOL!
