It's Thrift Store Thursday,
only I don't have time to shop,
so I'm going to show you something
I bought at Goodwill
a couple of years ago.

Remember, I love unusual baskets,
so when I saw these
I knew I had to have them.

I guess you wouldn't call these "baskets",
but they are matching rattan suitcases.
How cool is that?!
They remind me of the kind of suitcases that
might have been used in the late 19th or early
20th century, by some rich people going on
safari, or to some exotic locale.
Since the style in my home is what I call
Old World Tropical,
these fit in perfectly.

I don't remember exactly how much I paid,
but it wasn't more than $10 each.
I didn't know what I was going to use them for,
but they were just too cool to pass up.
It turns out that these are great for storing those
odd items that don't really belong anywhere else,
such as items you're just holding
onto for sentimental reasons.

So....just today I decided to look for some
sort of label on these, to see where they were made,
or to get a clue as to how old these might be...

this is what I found....

Ha! So funny. Grey Goose Vodka.  I don't drink,
and I have no idea why they have this stamp.
There is nothing more to tell me anything
about them, so I'm going to assume that these
were made in France, but the rest is a mystery.
Oh well, they are still a great addition to my home,
and a really cool thrift store find.
