i’ve been collecting old suitcases for several years now and they are perfect for this year’s theme!\u00c2\u00a0 to this display i also added some fabrics found in the bargain bin at joann’s, a string of lights and a lantern from cost plus world market (and a flameless electric tealight from joann) and a piece of foam-core board, covered with beautiful hand-made paper from cost-plus world market and with text (printed on faux parchment) in the font “love letters” with a variant on this year’s cslp slogan.<\/p>\n

even more suitcases!\u00c2\u00a0 this time accessorized with guatemalan worry dolls (that will likely wander off sometime this summer), a grass mat and another lantern from cost plus world market and a flameless pillar candle from joann’s.<\/p>\n
