Welcome!

Welcome to toriejayne.blogspot.com
I started posting pics on Flickr just over five weeks ago and since then I've had a few questions asking where I get some of my things from. As a response, I've started this blog to let you guys have a few more details, such as where I've bought the items or how I've made them.

In the near future, I hope to add more of my own projects and purchases, but I also want to highlight some of the amazing design and craft ideas I admire from others.

I hope you like the blog and please let me know what you think. Enjoy...

Vintage lunchboxes

Vintage lunch box
My cardboard mini suitcases are based on vintage lunch boxes, like the one above, which got me thinking that it would be great to find some old lunch boxes to keep bits and bobs in.


Corsage metal lunch box
The one above is a beautiful Corsage Metal Lunchbox dated 1973, made by King-Seeley Thermos Company and sold at Ruby Lane.com.

Star cases

Shooting star kids suitcases from Cath Kidston in the craft room
These Shooting Star Kids Suitcases are from Cath Kidston. The good news is that they are currently on sale. They are so handy for keeping bits and bobs in. Mine are filled with bags of sequins and beads.

Mini suitcase set from Great Little Trading Company
I think they would look great stacked with this Mini Suitcase Set from Great Little Trading Company.
