I have a suitcase exactly like that one, also with rusting locks, which now houses Christmas decorations, no moths in there yet!Stitchinsciencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228815425740251265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-33834021722662365232015-06-01T20:41:55.562+01:002015-06-01T20:41:55.562+01:00Could a theatre group use the suitcase?

I suspect I know the feeling you are struggling with, the ones I encounter whenever I've moved & had to purge or when the ridiculousness of some of what I'm hanging onto strikes me. Material things invoke memories & it can feel like that is what we are throwing out with the item (I could tell my own story of the hardshell suitcases I can't part with though I don't even use them for storage let alone travel). If not that, then it's that frugality thing, so hard to ditch that which might find a good use in the future.

Maybe it's about 'It could be useful one day' ... but, for me, objects seem to take on the pleasure of events and then I simply can't part with them.
