Vintage Luggage Collections House Tour Gallery | Apartment Therapy Chicago:

"...vintage luggage. Although, as much as I love a nice Royal Traveller suitcase, I much prefer actually traveling with something that has at least two wheels. So, I've turned to these Apartment Therapy House Tours for some inspiration in turning my luggage collection into part of my apartment's decor."

Red Wing Union Stoneware Company + #Pottery Articles

Vintage Red Wing tea set is a keeper

"After the discovery in 1861 of huge, prehistoric clay pit beds near the town of Red Wing, Minn., the area quickly became a center for clay and stoneware manufacturing.
The Red Wing Stoneware Co., formed in 1877, was just one of several local businesses to use the newly found natural resource, but became the central focus of stoneware production after merging with the other local potteries to form the Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. in 1906.

While early production included mostly utilitarian items such as jugs, churns, water coolers and flower pots, Red Wing Stoneware diversified and expanded its production to include art pottery and dinnerware, and it changed its name to Red Wing Potteries in 1936 as a result.
The company closed in 1967, but its technical records, name and legal rights were bought in 1984, and stoneware production resumed under the new owner.

The company was sold again in 1998 but is still in operation, producing kitchenware and decorative items that are well-known throughout the United States and considered collectible by many pottery enthusiasts.
COLLECTING RED WING: The quality, sturdiness and aesthetic appeal of Red Wing stoneware has led it to be dubbed 'the Cadillac of pottery' by many stoneware collectors."

Wisconsin woman keeps mousetrap collection

Cage style "Live traps" (more examples below)

“I love the story of ‘Cinderella’ and how the fairy godmother transforms a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage and the mice and rats into horses to pull it,” Putsch said. [Mary Putsch of Janesville, Wis.] “I really like the illustrations, and that’s what brought me to mousetraps. “In my picture book, when Cinderella went to get these mice for her fairy godmother, they were in something that looked to me like a bird cage,” she said.  It was, in fact, a live trap for mice."

“Having never seen anything except one of those flat, snap mousetraps, I couldn’t imagine how even a fairy godmother could make anything out of what was left in one of those.” While browsing an antique shop one day, Putsch noticed a bird cage-like device hanging from the ceiling. The tag on the item read “rat trap,” and Putsch instantly understood what the story and illustration in her Cinderella book was about. “So I had to buy that trap,” she said. Later, Putsch found the same trap — only smaller and designed to catch mice. “So I was off and running,” she said. A 20-year obsession was born."

[And I love the story of how these collections get started]

"There are 4,400-some patents on mousetraps. That’s more than any other single item.” Although Putsch has never counted her traps, she estimates she has at least 100 dating back to the 1800s. She’s found her treasures in antique shops and flea markets, had them given as gifts, bought them on trips abroad and even had a few made by her husband.
