I still remember the Samsonite train case ( a smaller version of the one here) my grandparents bought me as a pre-teen. Zoe's Consignment Shop on Clairmont Avenue won my heart with this display. I pack for Paris much lighter now, but back then flying was I think, a lot more special. I have fond memories of my very fashionable mom visiting us in Neenah, Wisconsin in November '71. She got off the plane dressed in a wool coat, heels, and mink pill box! Those were the days!

sympa ta petite tour eiffel, va falloir que je trouve le meme mais avec l'ESB ;o))
Hope you still have that mink pillbox hat. It would look très chic on your next trip to Paris.
Those were the days, travelling was much more romantic then. Love those old suitcases. A mink pillbox you can't even wear nowadays, you get the "furrpolice" running after you.
Beautiful image Virginia!.
Those are not the shoes you are bringing to Paris? :-)
I also remember the heavy suitcases, and hat box, that my parents had when I was young. And the horror that my mother experienced when my brother returned from college (in 1967), getting off the airplane in blue jeans, because he did not dress up for traveling.
I think of what travel was like for people of my parents generation when I see how people dress for airplane flights today -- especially for flights to Vegas.
I bet you nearly tripped over yourself when you saw this window display.
Perfectly You~
Oh wow .. it was made for you!
Totally you!!! When are you leaving???
You go girl, literally and figuratively. Looks like the weather there will be tolerable. Have a glass of champagne on the plane for me and let us know when there are pix to see.
I'm glad you get to go again.
What, were you running out of Paris pics?
