~My wicker suitcase~

Go visit my friend Mary of Crash-n-Smash blog.
She recovered the insides of her vintage suitcases, they are lovely!
Well she wanted to see one of my suitcases..
So here it is.
Not as nice as Mary's but will just have to do LOL...
It's a bit tricky working with wicker.
Had to use tiny nails to put keep the lining in place.
My spray glue plugged up so I 
had to use white glue, not as easy....
it was very messy messy messy!
OK Mary hope you approve of this suitcase :-}
