Suitcases
I bought four suitcases today.
There's a home décor store across the street from me that is closing. The building was sold and is being completely rehabbed, and all the tenants are being kicked out. So she's having a big sale, and I wandered over today and bought a few small items. Then I asked the fatal question. "Are you selling those suitcases, too?" And she was and gave me a good price. They're wood, but are covered in some sort of leather-like fabric. The straps are leather and the trim is wood, with small metal studs. I'm rather fond of the latches, too:
I'll use them to store stuff, but the smallest could actually be used as a handbag (it's 13"x8"x5").
This evening I went to see Il Divo, an Italian movie about Giulio Andreotti. It's excellent, though a modicum of familiarity with Italian politics is helpful.
