Tiny cardboard suitcases have always been in my life as long as I remember......
When I was a child my little red suitcase, was where I kept the clothes for my dolls...sometimes
I replaced the contence and put in whole new and exciting things.
When my children were small, they both got a suitcase from my parents. Emil had a blue one and Anne-Sophie got a red one.
When ever they were going somewhere, we packed their little suitcases with books, pens, paper and other of their favourite things.
And when my big daughter started her 1st big knitting, a little red cardboard suitcase was what she chose to have her knitting needles in....
.
We somehow can't get rid of the suitcases which have a very certain sound when you open them.
I'm still rather fond of them too, and I'm not the only one. So many women on flickr collect them. I bet they had them in their childhood too.....
Now a days the sellection is much bigger...you can buy the suitcases in all kind of shapes and colours. Not just in red & blue like in my childhood.
See how many I found by googling....I definitely need some new ones! Like the one below from Marimekko...
What wonderful suitcases! I really like the stack of suitcases in primary colors - really sweet and perfect for a childs room ...
ReplyDeleteI really like the set (blue, green and red). I don't think that cardboard suitcases are that popular in Canada...never really saw one before. Too bad!
ReplyDeleteHmm - har aldrig rigtig tænkt over at de der små kufferter også kunne anvendes af voksne. Ikke en tosset idé Ulla. De har så mange fine hos Søstre Green. Skal i biografen i morgen (og nå at købe konfirmationsgave, fødselsdagsgave til manden, knapper til EB Cardigan) - Måske jeg også skal kigge på kufferter til bånd, tråd, mv.
ReplyDeleteBåde Lise og Søren har også. Søren kun én - Lise en lille samling. Hun elsker at pakke i dem - lege hun skal på tur.
De er da heller ikke mindre en fantastiske de små "kufferter". Søsterne Grenes har ofte forskellige udgaver til næsten ingen penge. Jeg anvender dem ofte at lægge små gaver i, så får børnene jo en dobbeltgave ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love using them to put gifts in for kids (clothing or toys)...you just reminded me to go get one for a gift I'm giving this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo do I, rachel rabbit! And in the shop you were even able to decide yourself, which combination of colours on the suitcase and handle you like. Isn't that great? ;0)
ReplyDelete..............
They are georgeous, Claudia! I would love to get some of them. Strange that you don't have them in Canada. You had better get some ;0) They are available on the internet - right here: www.shopfeatheryournest.com

De kan skjule så frygtelig meget godt de små kufferter, Gitte. Også rod - ved jeg - og alligevel ser de organiserede ud!
Søstrene Grene har mange smukke og jeg tjekker dem altid lige når jeg er der ;0)
Og det gode er nemlig at de også kan bruges til drenge.....
God tur i morgen :0)

Nemlig, Jeannette Mariae! :0) Deres udvalg er helt fantastisk.
Jeg har gjort helt det samme til gaver. Det er de geniale til...de bittesmå er så gode til at gøre f.eks. pengegaver lidt mere spændende!
.................
Me too, robinettehandmade!
They are simply perfect for that purpose. I also keep lovely, old letters in one of mine :0)
