Couer d'Alene woman's potholder collection is filled with history, joy

Retired educator's collection of over 500 potholders is filled with history, joy

Watching Ginger Wright go through her collection of at least 500 potholders is as much fun as watching little ones open presents on Christmas morning. "Look at this one, isn't it fun?" she said while going through storage tubs in her basement Friday afternoon. She picked up an intricately textured and colorfully crocheted flower potholder. "It's just wild," she said. "I just love this one."
