Here's my little vintage suitcase that is usually with me when I'm out-and-about...it stays in the car most of the time so it's there when i need it...
why? well because of what's inside of course...
can't be caught off-guard with idle hands while waiting for football practice to end, getting my car washed, sitting in car-rider line...what? you don't have one? tsk tsk
the journals are coming, the journals are coming...going into my etsy shop at 2:00 this afternoon nashville time (central)...and please please please, if you aren't able to get one...please do not be angry with me because (1) i can make more and (2) they're only journals :)
Golly! I have my mom's honeymoon travel luggage from 1958 and there is a piece very similar to that. What a terrific idea, thanks! ;)

Well it looks like I was a day late and a dollar short AGAIN! I want one of those journals and cannot seem to make it on time! We could not possibly be mad at you cause everyone wants your journal! We will just have to wait our turn and I know they are worth waiting on! Love the vintage case! So awesome just like you!;)

So sad you are not shipping oversea for your etsy shop. I like so much what you have in there :-(

that's a great idea... i keep books and magazines in the car, but not craft projects. hmmm... might have to go shopping :)

I alway carry some sort of project with me. I am the mommy who sits and crochets or quilts through the game. It is amazing to see how much we can get done in those tiny snips of wait time. I blog about this idea often.
Loving that your journals are flying off the "shelf" so to speak.

Oh. My. NERVES! What a great idea! I have one of these!! And it's just sitting in my guest room, looking cute. But this is so much better. I'm doing this as soon as I get home tonight! ;)

What a glorious idea!! I've never thought about packing a few craft supplies in a suitcase to carry with me! I always have a journal and I tend to make lists and sketches when I'm waiting...but this is a new and lovely twist! FABULOUS!

I love the suitcase idea and I just happen to have one on my garage that belonged to my PA, so I might do the smae thing, I have often thought I need something to do while filling in time , waiting! I would love to buy a journal but you don't send to Australia. Please send to Australia, we're not that far away any more!!

I saw the story you wrote for "Handcrafted" magazine (Somerset) and am inspired to find a train case for my own traveling companion.
My mom used to have a little blue case that belonged to my grandma, but it's long gone. I'm grateful there are still some available on ebay, etsy, etc.
Bets wishes to you!
P.S. I just sent you an e-mail re: bingo card journals.

I just won a little train case on ebay and I'm so excited! Sent you an e-mail yesterday--do you still make the bingo card journals? Please let me know. Thanks!
