Sometimes I wonder if you all tire of my obsession with vintage paraphernalia... in particular, my love of vintage suitcases, which upon reflection, do seem to appear in a rather startling number of posts! I'm afraid that I have to plead total helplessness - you see, it turns out I'm an addict - a problem I've had since I was about seven when my mother gave me an antique flower press as a gift (other little girls wanted Cabbage Patch Kids... I wanted vintage lace doilies!). No matter how much I write about it, no matter how much I surround myself with it, no matter how many gorgeous pictures of tatty old stuff I post, I just can't satisfy my craving for VINTAGE! I'm considering starting a support group... anybody care to join?

I love that first image, it's in my design files. Count me in I adore vintage! x
Love the look. Have a pair under a console table and they add the perfect touch!!
Oh dear, I must have caught the same disease, because I happily admit to being a vintageholic.
Sometimes I find myself buying these old things just so that they won't be thrown away. How tragic is that?
Gorgeous image!
I'll be VA (Vintageaholics Anonymous) secretary and take down minutes of our meetings!
With you on all the above!

Oh, Sweetie, I'm willing to sign up now that Melissa from Miss Sew & So has converted me! J x
Gorgeous! Good luck with your group ;-)
My name is Natalie and I'm a vintageholic...Hey, they acutally look my suitcases?! lol x
To the brim with vintage cases! I love them all. The bedside stack is my fave, I can see why you're addicted : )
Nothing is wrong with a little love for the old :)

Hi Angela,
I'm torn !!! I love the suitcases but I'd be tempted to fill them with clothes and display old books on them! Am I in? Can I still be in VA?
P.S Thanks for your kind words about my blog. You Rock !
I'll join your support group any day! I'm a vintage girl through and through. As addictions go, I think this is a pretty good one! I've lost count of all the vintage suitcases I own. Great photos!

Girl, you need help ... and I'm just the person to relieve you of your surplus ;)
I'm signing up in a hurry. Angela, the first image with the high stack of your vintage treasure trunks is my instant favourite. Gorgeously put together. Be consoled, you're not alone. Hugs. Gosia
Those vintage suitcases! I have my mom's set she used on her honeymoon, they are so special - I move them around a lot. I have used them beside the sofa, in front of the sofa, and in the bedroom as a nightstand. They are so versatile and always a conversation piece, complements abound. Vintage has soul.
I love those vintage suitcases. great image.
