I like this post alot...great use of old fashioned "grips" as my uncle called suitcases. Much better than the stack I currently have in the corner. Thanks for the good ideas.

The first blanket is also called a 'beaver blanket" becuse the points...black lines along the side...tell the weight of the blanket and therefore the number of beaver skins that were traded for that particular blanket. I bought an old one in an antique shop for $50...great price. My son always slept under it, and took it with him when he went in the army. Pendelton has always credited the original Hudson Bay Company for this design. Great story.

Remember, the writer is not suggesting all clothes be displayed this way. I think it's a fun suggestion to take another look at what's hidden and how to bright it out for the fun of color and form. a different way of addressing a problem and making a splash at the same time.
