I made this suitcase for my sister to keep all of her wedding treasures. I searched high and low for a vintage suitcase that I liked down in the West Bottoms, our antique district. I found this old Samsonite that I think made a perfect wedding treasure suitcase!
She lives in CA, but for Christmas she was in Jersey/DC. So I took her this poem and a picture instead of her hauling it back and forth!
This bag was too big
to bring with me,
I’ve made it small
for you to see.
It’s a vintage
suitcase with your names,
To keep all of your
wedding stuff you have claimed.
Cards, candles,
mementos and more,
This will give you a
place to store.
I’ll keep it in
Kansas, for a while,
So you can gather
cards and make a pile.
When June 29th
comes we will bring it to you,
To use at your
wedding boat venue.
With all of its
treasures it will hold,
I’m sure it will be
fun to look back at when you are old.
