I have always been full of fascination with words that mark a time and place and elevate an object. A "valise" sounds so much more elegant than compared with the title of "suitcase."
Do you have a weekend valise at the ready for weekend escapes? I am ready for an escape somewhere warm after all this snow!

Oh, I completely agree - valise is much more elegant and calls to mind a steamer ship or the Orient Express. I'm escaping to the comfort of my own home this weekend. Looking forward to a little relaxation. I'm hope that you are staying warm! XO

My most recent post has me day dreaming of sun and sand. I have a bag at the ready.
I prefer the word "valise" - it sounds more sophisticated.
Wishing you a nice weekend!
It is an elegant word and I miss using some of those old world expressions!
Patricia I think everyone wants to get away right now!

Jeanne-
Like the words on the Harpers - Warhol work we spotted in NY - I am all about looking at life through a rose colored lens....or maybe a "green" one.
Hope you are well and that your projects are taking shape.

I love "pretty" words. You make me want to back a valise and head for someplace nice.
As long as I have a warm fire and a warm cup beverage I'm there in mind and spirit already. xo
dear patricia,

hi - aren't those roses, awesome? I live in NJ ( in the burbs, just outside the city) ...yes, would be fun to meet. i love your work! we could draw together, that would be fun! xo
So much classier!
Just saying valise makes me want to pack up and head somewhere chic. Your blog is so, SO fun, glad I came across it today!
I'm just now unpacking my valise from a sunny get-away. Just six days- but what a nice break from snow and cold weather. Raring to go now! xox
Oh I love a valise! It's my much preferred “carry case” moniker for sure. I went on a weekend escape this past weekend. And guess what? It SNOWED.
