Baggage

I am posting a bit early today because I am just off to a friends house this afternoon.

A few days ago I went to our local recycle centre to look for a mirror for photographic purposes. Luckily I managed to find one for $5 and hope to create some photos with it soon.

While I was there I took some photos of items I spotted. I think these bags have been here for quite a while and look like a blast from the 60s. Judging by the dust on them I reckon they have been here for a while.

I am sure there are items here that would be great props for our local amateur theatre company.

David visits the recycle centre very often when looking for things to use either in his electronic hobbies or his model railway hobby. We have both bought secondhand books and jigsaws here too.

The centre is very popular and it is nice to see people dropping their unwanted items off here instead of them going into landfill.

What a find! And it makes a great shot too! Have a great afternoon!

[ZambianLass]

Fabulous find

[Marnie]

I'll bet they could tell a tale or two.

[Annie D]

I saw the bags and the popping to friends before seeing the rest and thought you must having been staying over hahaha

[Diana]

That sure is a blast from the past, great find and shot.

[Issi Bannerman]

Nothing better than a rummage in a recycle centre! Glad you found your mirror.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

neat collection

[Susan Wakely]

Great bags hope that they get repurposed.

[Wylie]

they really are classics! I hope they find a good home.

[Peter]

Looks like they have given good service, interesting capture Babs:)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ha ha ! I should have read on - I thought you were off for a week or two at your friend's with your vintage luggage ! Love to rummage in such places -great for props , when I was seriously into painting ! even if I come home empty handed !

[Frances Claydon]

Well spotted interesting shot

[Dione Giorgio]

I thought these were the bags you were going to take with you. They look very vintage but cool. Sometimes you will something you need in a place like here which you would not find anywhere else.

[Hazel]

Babs, my first thought was that you are going on holiday! Very evocative anyway!

[Ethel]

Nostalgic. In the day, I had cases and a hatbox :) to go back and forth from my home in the country to Uni. In the city. It was a train journey of 300 miles, and we had to change trains because of different state railway line gauges. Steam trains!

[Valerie Chesney]

Interesting "thinks" at these re cycle centres....Great to find what you needed.

[Dianne]

A lovely stack of interesting bags.

[Gosia]

Great collection

[Joyce Lancaster]

Lovely vintage luggage. I spend far too much time rummaging around in shops like this. I always want to know the history of things I find.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Lovely vintage luggage

[Merrelyn]

I wonder if any of them will find new homes.

[Lin]

Well captured - I'd love to visit a place like that.

[Leslie]

what great vintage luggage ..

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot and so interesting looking. Enjoy your visit with your friend.

[Fisher Family]

They make an interesting shot, and they certainly are dated!

Well spotted, lovely vintage items.

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

Oooh, I Love vintage so much!!!! Great find

[Lou Ann]

Thrift centers are fun!

[Call me Joe]

Awesome collections👌💕

[sarah]

Nice find

[haskar]

Great collections.

[carol white]

A super find and capture

[Margaret Brown]

A blast from the past indeed!

[Tunia McClure]

I'm surprised these items haven't been grabbed. They have become quite popular for decorating with piles of books on top.

[Pat Knowles]

I bet those bags can tell a story or two....where they have traveled to, what was inside them...who owned them....now dumped in the charity shop.....nobody wants us! 😨😨. I am surprised they haven’t been snapped up either, bags of any sort are usually popular.

[Jacqueline]

You made an interesting shot of it!

[Lois]

Fun bags! Wonder where they’ve travelled!?

[bruni]

Very nostalgic. I still have a nice patch leather travelling handbag in black, I don't know why I keep it all these years.

[Helen Jane]

I'm guessing it would be a good place for amateur dramatics companies to come and find their props. I am glad that such recycling centres exist.

[Pyrrhula]

If the only could tell. Bed there are a lot of interresting stories in it.

It is amazing what they sell here.

@annied @beryl @sangwann @quietpurplehaze Ha ha, not much chance of a holiday at the moment.

[Faye Turner]

Great find

[Ann H. LeFevre]

A fun walk through vintage world! I am going to be doing the same with a lot of things in the near future. I have a list of people to contact to see if they are still collecting with the pandemic going on.

[Babs]

@olivetreeann Our recycle centre has only just opened up again as restrictions have eased.

[eDorre]

What a fun combination!

[Monique]

Love the top one
