A Good Day Shopping
Some days, everything just falls into place:
What's this? A big old hard-sided suitcase, which if really full, I probably could not lift. But I was looking for just this, and tra-la, I found it, in red no less. Why? Here's the inside (looks almost brand new, unused):
And here's the inside:
after I put my Lendrum wheel in it. I occassionally want to travel with the wheel, and I'm not willing to fight with carry on rules or the people who enforce them. So I wanted a big hard-sided suitcase for the wheel. There is room enough to pack fiber, yarn, clothes, whatever, around it. Yay!
And it has wheels:
And a handle:
so I can drag it along, not carry it. The almost best thing:
The price tag. $7, from the hospice thrift shop. No keys, to be sure, but we can't lock anything anyway. Woot!
To add to my joy, the LYS is just down the street so I also managed a visit to yarn-and-pattern-land. And, the V'tae warehouse, local body products manufacturer, also just down the street, was having a half-off warehouse sale, so I stocked up on hand lotions, lip balm, and body mist. Anyone local? V'tae is moving to a larger place, and the warehouse sale goes on. Go by! (or should I say go buy?)

Great find! I finally got rid of mine because the insides were trashed. Of course, I did get them for my high school graduation and used them pretty hard.
So are you gloating or rubbing it in? - not sure but certainly jealous. Color me green~
Great idea! I used to have some red Tourister hard-sided luggage (without the wheels). The stuff was like a tank. I finally got rid of it after many years. It didn't look like new but it was still very usable.
Wow, what a find!
Great find, great idea. Empty suitcases at my house usually end up with a cat in them :)
That suitcase is ingenious! I've gotta remember that for traveling.
Very nice! Congrats on the great find!
