Trailer Slumber Party...part-1

 This vintage Aladdin trailer belongs to Sherry,,, a fellow Sister on the Fly and friend...She brought her trailer over for this weekend's Trailer Slumber Party... there will be 6 of us Glamping.

 I love the brown and blue scheme.... can you guess what her trailer is themed after?

 Check it out! an old office stamp holder, a little paint, hang it upside down and instant wine glass holder!  and yes, those are/were canning jars and candle holders...a little epoxy and Voila! cute wine glasses.

 I love her kitchen. She even scored a 'I dream of Jeannie' lunch box, coffee mug and salt & pepper shakers...

 I found a little Camel 'Beanie Baby' toy that fit's perfect in her trailer....

 Check it out! yep, that is a microwave (painted blue) below her oven... since there was venting in this cabinet for the oven it was the perfect choice for her mini microwave...she ran the plug up through the back and cut a small hole in the counter for the plug to come through so it can be plugged right into the wall socket. How clever it that....if nothing else,,, Trailer Divas are resourceful!

OK, have you figured out her theme yet? hahaha!  

FleetCraft...Then and Now!

 This is a 1964 13' FleetCraft camp trailer.....(not mine).

 This is MY 1964 FleetCraft with it's rear end cut off... (a previous owner's solution to wood rot repair!)

This is a 1967 15' FleetCraft.....

According to the sale's add... it has twin beds/bunks.

I have not found much info on my little trailer..which has a front kitchen and a small-Full bed across the back...and no Banquette/dinette...I can't help but wonder if maybe mine too had a small/twin size bed on one side and a small banquette across from the bed or maybe 2 twin beds with a table in between.... Anybody out there in Trailer Blogland know?

Rugs Make a Perfect Patio....

 My friends and neighbors all know how much I love to re-purpose and to Glamp.... so when getting rid of stuff they usually check with me first.
Well recently my neighbor was clearing out one of their old family Grain Bins that had been used a a storage bin...stuff had been sitting in there for well over 30-plus years... and some of the stuff is from the late 1920's.... needless to say, my neighbor came across this old rug which in it's day was probably a very nice and expensive rug...but sadly it was relegated to the Grain Bin where it became moth and rodent eaten, water stained and musty... so she asked if I could use it for anything... Well YEAH! it makes the perfect 'patio' for my trailers...

No more dragging in dirt....and it keeps everything clean... best of all the musty smell has gone away after 2 days of laying in the hot sunshine.
I just love 'hand-me-downs'....

Two Weeks?

OMG!,,, has it been 2 weeks since I last posted? yikes!  and I still have photos that I have not down loaded- up loaded- loaded loaded from Girl Camp! lol! But I will, as soon as I can figure out why my Nikon camera is copping an attitude with my computer.  My Canon works fine,, but my photos are on the Nikon. Go Figure!

 In the mean time, come on in and see what I have done in the Scotty....
Yep, I luv the 'curtain' screen door idea....now both the Scotty and  #3 have lace curtain screens....

 I have very limited space in the Scotty,,,and the banquette was bugging me because it made the inside feel somewhat claustrophobic,,,so I decided to remove the table (it's stored in the barn in case I want to put it back in the trailer) and I found the perfect little foldable table, at Wal-mart of all places...set it up, draped a vintage table cover and Wowzers! I now have space to move and yet still a table for my morning coffee and what ever....plus now it's easier to sit down on the bench seats....before, I had to squeeze in,,,and I am not that big a person, so having guest's made it really cramped in there...and to think...back in 1963...a family of 4  could camp in this trailer! Umm, my hubby dearest is 6'1"... needless to say...if we had 2 kids,,,we'd have to make them sleep on the roof! lol!

Now to remove the wooden table stop (flange) and replace that spot with a piece of carpet...hope I still have the left over carpet in the barn...worse thing, I go to Lowes and buy a new piece of carpet and re-carpet that whole section (I mean...Hubby get's to re-carpet ).....

and more fun!

 Me (lt) and Toni (rt), It's all about being a 'Girl' no matter how old you are!  :>)

 My silly Lavender Queen outfit..frumpy and dumpy.. but I LUV my hat! A great last minute Thrift find. Altho' you can't tell, I am wearing rhinestone framed glasses.... A Queen has to have her Bling!  :>)

 Channeling their inner "Ester Williams" (lt to rt) Toni, Carolyn, Karen, Patty, DeeAnne & Bonnie.

This says it all!   :>)

More Girl Camp Fun....

 Don't you just love these sweet trailers?....we jokingly refer to them as our 'Alter-Ego'...

 Whether your trailer is vintage, or brand new... it doesn't matter,,, just as long as you have fun!

 Juli surprised us with these sweet little cupcakes,,, that have ab-so-lutly "O" calories! lol!

 Linda is having a blast making the 'chicken' do the 'Chicken Dance'...it was a Hoot!

Ester Williams wanna be's..... like I say, 'it's all about the silly'.....

I actually have lots of trailer photos on my Nikon camera but my computer won't download them so I will have to download the pics on my hubby's computer and then transfer them over to mine... maybe tomorrow if I can manage to stay out of other mischief! lol!

SHHH! Sleeping Trailers...

 SHHH, everyone is still asleep, well except for Slyvia's lil trailer....(door is open)

 and mine....(door is open)

 and ofcource Juli... so she and Sylvia decided to get breakfast started... ,

I used an old wooden ironing board, covered with  a lace panal and a vintage table cover to display some of my cute little 'scotty' deco items....

Trailer Trolling.....

 On my journey down to Elk, ID.... I did some 'trailer trolling' along the way,,, most times I was driving and couldn't get any photos...but I did manage to get these two! The wee little 'Tear Drop' belongs to a couple who where on their way south to meet up with friends... is this the cutest little 'mini me' you have ever seen?

Then I spotted this 1958 Aljo out behind a local Thrift store down in Moscow, ID... It was probably a real good looker in it's day but sadly has fallen into major repair.... looks like it might have been used as a hunting trailer...( the springs had been flipped to raise it higher off the ground for off road towing.).
I did see several other trailers, but again going 60mph on the highway, towing a trailer makes it kinda hard to stop and take photos...sure could have used a co-pilot... lol!

Girl Camping Weekend...

Ok, as some of you may have noticed, I have been MIA for 3 days... yep,,, I went Glamping with 14 other wonderful Glamping Divas (Newly apointed Queens of Elk, ID), all of us are members of 'Sisters on the Fly' and we try to find any excuse to sneak off for the weekend to go Glamping... leaving our poor husbands, families, and pets to fend for themselves while we have Fun, Food & Friendship....shirking the adult responsibilities of being a wife, mom or mature woman! lol!

OK, here is the deal,,, I need to get back outside to finish watering and clean up my trailer, laundry and then like Cinderella, if I get all my chores done, I can go to the Ball,,,or in my case, sit down, down load/up load photos of this past weekends 'mischief'...and post...
Happy trails....

Tony Lamas and T.V. Trays....

 Ohhh,,, sooooo pretty......

 I can't believe these are mine!

I spotted the Tony Lama boots at a quaint little vintage shop out on the west side of Spokane...but being frugal as I can sometimes be,,, I passed on buying them... but thought about them for several weeks... then just last weekend, the hubby and I were in the vicinity of the little shop,,, I bribed him with a Frappaccino to let me poke my head in to see if the boots where still there....and guess what! They Where!  So I tried them on and in a New York minute... they were mine!  What are the odds of them not only still being there, but in my size!   SCORE!
The T.V. Tray is a fun little project I did, thanks to an idea in a recent Country Living magazine.. now I have a wee little table for my wee little trailer, 'Farmgirl on the Loose'... I decoupaged photos of friends and Glamping trips..... Now I need more trays...because I have lots more Glamping photos!

Illuminaries....

Never underestimate the value of small jars....
I collected a bunch of baby food jars, to use as luminaries for this years Farm Chick/Sisters on the Fly camping weekend... I just added a wee piece of ribbon round the jar...and as you can see,,,,,
for safety sake I used those little faux votive/tea light candles... I found them at the local $1 type store
in packages of 3 for $1
I have also used real candles in small jars.  Easy Peasy if you pleasy.....

Just 7 More Days Until Girl Camp!

I can hardly wait for Friday... when I head out to a little town south of Moscow, ID for Girl Camp with the 'Gang'...
Hubby & I have been up to our eyeballs in work around our property and I know I need a lazy weekend, hanging out either at the river or campfire....

 Welcome to Girl Camp....

 The Some of the 'Gang'.....(lft to rt) Marie, Sherry, Mig, Tony, Deeanne & me....

 This is a cleaver idea for storage...using a hanging handbag & shoe holder...perfect for all kinds of stuff and they are light weight.... p.s. I was snooping in Shelly's trailer when I took this photo!  lol!

ssshhhh!  slumbering trailers on the lower level.......

Miggy & I always seem to park our trailers side by side. Could it be the color or perhaps the Flamingos?
Juli's trailer is just behind Miggys....   We always have a wonderful time misbehaving, gabbing, and feasting on fab-u-los food. Gotta Luv Girl Camp!   Happy Trails!

Portland Oregon

So while I was down  in Portland visiting my dear friend Patty & my horse, 'Girlie'... Patty and I did a little 'Trailer Trolling'...ok, so maybe more like Junktiquing than trailer trolling... but we did spot a few trailers including this one! lol!
I know I look dorky, I just do not photograph well,,,,that's why I like being behind the camera, not in front! lol!

Metal Cart...

I found this metal cart at a local Thrift for $3.99... then added a $1.50 can of spray paint and...

 it went from drab black to cute red.....

I plan to use this cart for my little trailer, 'Farmgirl on the Loose'... it's great for setting up cute deco stuff...or a Martini Bar! lol!

Thank You...

It just occurred to me,,, when looking around at all my wonderful goodies in both of my trailers, I would venture to say about 1/3 of the things are from friends, sweet gifts and  goodies that they spotted in their travels and knew would look good in my trailers...from fabric to mugs to aprons to well everything...
I just want to say thank you so very much dear friends....I always feel like I am traveling wrapped in love, beauty and friendship....

Trailer Deco....

 How fortunate am I to have such sweet people watching out for me... awhile back I received a cute 'Scotty' coffee mug from a fellowette MaryJane Farm friend and I received this 'Scotty' pot holder & cookie cutter from another MaryJane Farm friend... the bookends also are from a Maryjane Farm friend..hmmm I see a pattern here.....    :>)

 Junebug made the cute little green Scotty 'wallet'... and I found the red Scotty wallet at  the local Thrift...

 As always, I love to re-purpose things, glass sconces to be used as candle holders, brassy metal trays painted to match my trailer and of course  one can never have enough vintage linens and hand embroidered pillow cases to decorate with.

 Oh look!  a Gnome! heeheehee.   My neighbor made the cute little wool hanger for me to attach my pins to. 

And these are just a few of the "must haves" we all need in our trailers...
A Hillbilly wine glass with lid to keep the flies out... lol!
Wine corker remover and wine stopper.....
Led nite light to help you see your way out to the bushes for that wee trek into the woods to go weewee!
And Binder Clips,,,for just about everything from clipping curtains back, banners on and cords out of the way...
Wait, where did the chocolate go?  heeheehee! I always travel with a stash of chocolate!
