A Little Red Suitcase

While traveling home, I happened to spot the above lady who was taking the same flight I was on. She looked like a perfectly lovely gray-haired grandma kind of person (and probably only 5 to 10 years older than me, if I'm honest - BLAH) in sensible clothes and shoes. 

Her carry-on was an old fashioned red suitcase with one little old handle on top. I haven't seen one of those in years - I didn't even know they were still made or sold! Uhh..wait! That suitcase could be 20, 30, 40 years old! Maybe she just takes really good care of her possesions. Didn't think of that. 

I wonder if her laptop is inside...

  5. That is definitely a "carry-on" piece of luggage.
    Bet her checked luggage doesn't look that good.

  6. LOL!...I asked my parents for a beautiful 2-piece set of bright red luggage when I went away to college :-) I remember that it was "Amelia Earhart"....I'm glad it never got lost. I finally sold it at a rummage sale a few years back. Love those zinnias! Beautiful color.

  7. Oh, I love old suitcases. I always look at them when I'm out antiquing, but I'm not sure what I'd really DO with one...they are pretty heavy to actually carry one.

  11. Some people love the vintage suitcases and it always makes me wonder about them. Do they have a house full of vintage crap... like me?

    Very nice pictures too!

  15. Lap throw maybe, but a lap top, I don't think so.

    My parents only recently got rid of tan leather cosmetic case that my mother took on their honeymoon in 1950. It held GI Joe figures for my nephews for the longest time, until they grew out of them.

  16. That lady dresses a lot like my mom and my mom would LOVE to have the little red suitcase to go with her denim outfit! So cute!

  17. Yup, her laptop and the great American mystery, that she writes after her hubby is in bed, and a pack of Juicy Fruit gum and some bunion pads. Don'cha think?
