Sometimes you are shopping and your heart actually stops, you can't breath and you get a pain inside you when you try to walk away from the amazing thing... well, that is what happens to me anyway. I try to find things like that to sell in my shop, Clarence EST 2010 - flowers and fancy goods, Healesville.
But, lets be honest... some treasure just wont make it to the shop. Like this recent unbelievably AWESOME SCORE!!!! I have wanted a luggage trunk since my days travelling with the famous Spiegeltent but never have I seen one so beautiful. Check this out -

I did have to phone a friend to see if I was out of my mind on this purchase, it was not a cheap score but just a good one. My friend Anton simply told me that if I ever did not want it then he would buy it off me. I also google-imaged luggage trunks and couldn't find one as sweet as this!
I love vintage treasure and imagining the history of the piece. The thing with this one is that it probably was a part of a set, with matching hat box, beauty case and smaller luggage cases. I wonder where it has travelled and who owned such a stunning thing... I am sooooo happy they looked after it and had such amazing taste!
