Etsian of the Week --- Roundtrip

I LOVE these handpainted vintage pieces by roundtrip. She only uses items that are in excellent condition, so you can actually use these suitcases and purses without feeling like they are shabby. Some of the pieces shown here are sold already, but be sure to check out her shoppe, as new items are added all of the time! The following 5 are my favorites:

I can't believe these are painted free-hand!

After MUCH deliberating, I have finally chosen a frame for the purse that I'm planning to make. The tutorial below really fueled my inspiration to make a matching bag for my felt hat............so here is the beginning of the project. It hasn't even been shipped yet, but hopefully my beautiful frame will arrive by next week!
