The suitcase had weathered tough times,
battered storms and had been tossed around more than once.
The stains, like tattoos, he wore proudly.
He knew what was important he carried inside.

I went to an antique market last week, it was a small setup but there were beautiful things on sale and white linens reminded me of you 🙂

Although we collect stains on the outside of our beings, it’s what we are composed of inside that truely makes us who we are.

I wear my ‘battle scars’ proudly (or try to!) and hopefully I show my tender side sometimes – ahh I am like an old suitcase hee, hee xoxo

Sometimes it’s easy to see others as damaged goods because of the scars and stains they carry. But as we spend time with them, valuing them for who they are, we see the real character and tenderness unfold and see that the real treasure lies within.
Lovely post… -
Oh, the stories that suitcase could tell. Tales of faraway places, special purchases packed inside to return home, trips to the hospital for the birth of a child. Wonderful, Corey!

That is one of my favorite quotes on the braclet by Emerson.

God bless your soul.

I love linens, especially old ones. I’ve actually bought some very pretty linens in China Town, in San Francisco. It was so inexepensive, it was almost ridiculous. I like the handle on this suitcase, too.

I love the contrast between the weathered-out suitcase and the white linens.
