I take a prepaid FED EX box, fill it up and ship it home. ....if I am flying. If by car, I take a large clear leaf bag so I can stuff it in the odd space in the SUV. I don't like extra luggage pieces....unless I am buying antique glass, then I will take a suitcase with polyester batting. Love buying fabric in other countries...but always use Fed EX when I am out of the country.
