I
am pretty much in love with this vintage suitcase -- and it was only 15
bucks!!! We used it as an "envelope box" and it doubled as a pretty
sweet decoration for the reception table, too. Isn't it beautiful?
heehee.
Back when Franklin and I were writing each other letters, he bought this really old typewriter, and we wanted to use that instead of a guest book (and it would have looked so perfect next to that suitcase!) but
that didn't work out, unfortunately. So I sketched up some stuff, made
some copies on card stock, and had it spiral-bound at Staples. Last
minute guest book, success! Have a look:
We wanted it to feel more like a children's activity book than a guest
book, so people could actually have some fun with it (I know I
would personally be all
over drawing things between fern fronds!). It was fun to see all the drawings people left for us. I almost forgot to leave a pen out, though! Oops. My 2-year-old nephew left us a page full of
scribbles, and it nearly made me melt.
So glad we went with a guest book instead
of a typewriter!
