More Vintage Luggage!

 
I have been searching for a while for a vintage hatbox to store some of my girlie treasures....
compacts, perfume bottles,evening bags...they are all sooo expensive.
I found this just in time before moving in a small shop and haggled it right down.
It's from the 50's and sits nicely on top of my first box
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A Salvo's find....I spotted a sugar bowl for $1.99 which was close to my precious Royal Winton "Summertime"teapot. The teapot was one of my first finds in an Antique shop on a trip to Melbourne as a newlywed a long, long time ago and cost me $25. It's now worth around  $600/700 and is going to wrapped very carefully!
The sugar bowl is probably 1950/60's as it has a Made in Japan mark and is quite a good match

    The hatboxes are absolutely wonderful. Just read some of your older posts and am most envious of the lovely new home you are moving to. My husband used to live in Australia and would move back tomorrow if only I would agree to! M x

    I love the hatbox! I found a vintage pink one a couple of months ago and my mom immediately claimed it! I don't think I'll be getting it back anytime soon!
