Traveling in Tea Style


Normally when I travel I take my old faithful tapestry luggage, the wheeled pieces that can see you safely out of town or through an airport. For a quick overnight trip to visit family this weekend, however, I was able to use a great new piece of luggage that was a Christmas gift from my friend Susan.

This yellow duffel bag is absolutely perfect for a tea lover's overnight travels. It's made of a nice thick wipe-clean fabric and has sturdy brown handles.

If you like, you can attach these pretty snap-on bows to the handles -- which I did!

Susan and I were at the Mart in Atlanta last year when I bought this tote bag, although that's the only piece in this design I remember seeing. I'm so glad she remembered it when she saw the pretty matching duffel.

The tag hanging on the duffel bag was printed with a logo that said "Precious" (the brand or design name), and I'm sure there must be quite a few of these bags "out there" since they were for sale at the Mart, where they deal in large-volume sales. If you run across any other matching pieces, I'd love to know about them!

  1. How precious! (Corny, I know --but I couldn't resist.) The duffel looks like it might be large enough to become a traveling tea party when going to brighten a friend's day. Too cute --- B-)

  5. Love your bags. You'll have to plan more short trips so you can use them more often.
