Bar in a Box

i found the coolest thing in one of the attics of Meadowvale today.

at first glance, i thought it was a small suitcase or travel train case. however, upon opening it, i was pleasantly surprised!

i have never seen one of these before. have you? it's an Executair 101 Trav L Bar. it's a bar to go. pretty crazy, huh? this little case would make any picnic instantly better.

this velvet-lined case has everything you need to mix up some drinks on the go. one side holds 4 small cups, 2 shot glasses, a long stir spoon, a bottle opener, and a small platter. each item is held in place with leather straps.

the other side holds 3 bottles. i found it held 750 ml wine bottles and smaller liquor bottles quite well. you could take everything you need for a mixed drink or plenty of wine and bubbly for a party.

i can't wait to clean it up a little and display it standing up somewhere. stay tuned to see this Trav L Bar in it's new home!
