Check out my blog spot under the "hand quilted vintage double ring" post.

On the very left of the photo you will see what I did with a couple of antique hard sided suitcases. My DH opened the suitcase and screwed it into the four legs of an old piano bench...then I simply placed another old suitcase on top of that one---then placed a lamp on that! The very bottom suitcase holds some very special memorabilia---it's a good place for storage!
I am always on the look out for old suitcases and in fact just picked up a medium size leather very round edged vintage one at the thrift store last Saturday for only $3.95!

Grace, I noticed on your blog that you work jigsaw puzzles. I have one I'm going to start (newbie, can you believe it, never done one) and I want to make it so I can pick it up and move it, without going out and buying a puzzle mat. Any suggestions? Yes, I hijacked my own thread. :-)

hahaha! I use a foam board, light weight & I can pick it up & move it...the only bad thing is when you have a curious kitty who jumps up on to it & pieces go flying all over! lol!
You can put a piece of felt fabric on the foam board to keep the pieces from moving around if you want.
Have fun.....oh & we mark off the masurement of the puzzle onto the board in case the board gets bummped & the pieces move.
Happy Puzzeling.
