Repurposing a Vintage Suitcase

I have seen all of these cute suitcase repurposed and thought Ill give it a try myself. So I started with a blue suitcase.
 

(really needs some love)

 
So I tore everything out and started from scratch. I cut out some cork board and some fabric for starters.
 

 
Then bought the best glue I could find. I started gluing the fabric to the cork board.
 
 
 
Inserted the board to the buttom of the suitcase. (this took some time. cut the board to big the first time)
 
(finally the perfect fit)
 
Now it was time to start on the top half.  I will be using this to carry my supplies to and from the antiques shows. I had to make sure I had a small pocket for my square and some randoms.
 
 
Didn't it turn out super cute.
 
 
Now Mama's Girl Market is ready for the show.

Turns out that on Wednesdays that Pope Francis has a papal audience and gives mass . . We decided that you cant come to Vatican City and not see the Pope if he is having mass. There was a few hours before it stat, so we went to the museum. The last supper painted by Leonardo da Vinci The tombs were just fantastic to see, such great detail, telling a story. I snuck of picture of the Sistine Cha...
