OMG! How cool is this? Kelly over at Little Vintage Trailer blog is having a blog drawing for this koolieo mixed media art work... Keeping my fingers crossed that I win! Check out her blog!
SCORE! Do you know how hard these are to find???? & my Prince Charming of a hubby spotted it for me! Thank you Prince Charming....
I came across this sweet little Homer Laughlin plate for a dollar... it is going in trailer #3..
Then I came across this koolieo mid-century ash tray...I don't smoke but it will make a sweet ring holder in my 'Scotty w/a Potty' trailer.
I bought this twin size Chenille spread to use as a 'cutter'....I think I might use it to make curtains for the front window in my Scotty... yaya, I know,,, I just made a new set of curtains for the window but I am not totally crazy about them... and I love how old Chenille fabric makes cute vintage curtains.
Well another year of Glamping is behind us...but that's ok,,, because 2012 is just around the corner.... Wahooo!
I found these cute little child size pink cowgirl boots at the local thrift... I think they will make cute 'catch-alls' for what-nots & flowers.... at least until one of my grand daughters is big enough to wear them!
I love the white ceramic Hen & Rooster plaques... they will go into Trailer #3 along with the cross-stitched picture under them. The Mirror I haven't quit decided whether to put it in the Scotty, Trailer #3 or the Aljo...it is so very dainty. The little shelf will go into trailer #3,,,but I just might paint it white first....maybe....
My lovely friend, Bev, sent me these goodies.... a journal for when I am Glamping...vintage Cookie cutters, in the perfect country farm kitchen colors of red & green....and OMG! 'aged' pillow ticking fabric! How did she know I was in search of some? And what's a vintage trailer with out some sweet vintage doilies..... Thank you Bev.
My Glamping Gal-Pal, Juli sent me this sweet little trailer ornament & doilies,,, and the card is just precious! Juli knows I love doilies, doilies & more doilies! She is such a motivator, not to mention gifted writer.
As some of you know I received this Koolieo trailer night light from Kristina aka 'fieldsofthyme' she is a wonderfully talented crafty lady. Then my dear friend Pam, sent me the tin Trailer lunch pail. Pam & I have known each other since our late teens and use to live a few condos down from each other... raised babies together & promised when we grow old, we would sit on the porch, sip tea, do our needle work and gossip about grand babies! I can hardly wait! (the tea & gossip part, not the growing old part! lol!)
Merry Christmas and Have a Wonderful New Year. Happy Trails until we meet again....
Look what I found at the Thrift for my little Trailer #3,,,, "Farm girl on the Loose"...
Look what Santa's little postal elf brought me.....
Wahoooo! My wonderful friend, Pam, knows I have a love for vintage trailers and sent this to me.... It's a 'Trailer" lunch pail. Now to decide which trailer to put it in,,,, decisions, decisions....
The pail was filled with yummy teas,,,, another thing my wonderful friend knows I love.
what sweet retro cowgirl kids! I luv it!
Wahoooo! Giddy-up lil pony!
I would love to get my hands on some of these yellow plaid aka Tartan Ware mid century camping goodies..... The yellow is not easy to find.... and can be pricey when you do find them.
I do have several pieces in Red, and have spotted a fair amount of the red plaid ware at vintage/antique shows.... but to find them in really good shape is a challenge.
Look what Santa aka Kristina sent me.... OMG! is this cute or what?
Also in the package were these sweet goodies... actually there was a lot more but you'll have to go to my Katmom blog to see everything....
Me, Myself & I... I need these 3 trailers to add to my collection.... oh wait, does 3 count as a collection or an addiction? lol!
Summer, Oh Summer...
I know how my little Peekaboo kitty feels,,, I too keep looking out the window in search of Summer.... I am a Summer person.... I don't like cold, I barely tolerate snow.... I am my happiest when I am running amok in flipflops and a straw hat, from sun up to sun down and even then I don't want to come into the house.... A little 9 year old girl lives inside of me,,,always wanting to be outside playing in the sun. it's who I am, and what I do best!
Oh to be a cat,,,,to wait patiently for Summer's return..... waiting, waiting, waiting...
This sweet trailer (not mine) is a 1963 Fleet Craft.....
This sad little trailer is a 1963 Fleet Craft that some fool decided the easiest way to deal with wood rot was to cut the back off the trailer.... AACCKK! and yet I still bought it, drug it home and said, "Honey, how much do you love me???"....
Here I am down in McCall, Idaho at a 'Sisters on the Fly' Glamping trip... this cute lil 'Oberlin' belongs to my gal~pal, Juli.... Poor thing, she only has 3 vintage trailers & an Airstream.....it's a good thing she is one of my dearest friends or I would be green with envy...
How cute are these?....these are hand crafted cards..... Oh how I wish I were that talented.
I spotted these trailers on a blog while I was trolling through cyber-blogland! OMG! these all belong to one gal who has set up her own lil vintage trailer park.... I wonder if I can talk my hubby dear into letting me set up a 'Trailer Park'...lol!
In the spirit of Christmas,,,, I saw this cute 'Gingerbread Trailer'... I don't think I could eat it,,, it's just way to cute!
This Serro Scotty trailer brochure was recently up for auction on ebay,,, it sold for $28.00.... I was sooo very tempted to bid on it, but for $28.00 I can buy a lot of fun trailer deco stuff...... but that doesn't mean I am not on the watch for one of these.....
Well for my 1959 Aljo.....I had been toying with many deco themes when I came across this lovely tattered scarf in an Antique store in downtown Spokane.....and I immediately knew I had to have it so I bought it and brought it home. Later that evening I was perusing through an older issue of a "Victoria" magazine.... and that's when the voice in my head said.... "Gracie's Victorian Rose" and from that moment on my Aljo became Gracie's Victorian Rose.... I love the roses and the dark woodsie colors. 
Is this cool or what???? a spin on the traditional Gingerbread House.....
I ripped out the old icky fabric inside and re-did it with some scrap fabric that I had left over from other projects. I never throw away fabric bits-n-pieces...you never know when they will come in handy. I gathered up some old homeless Bling & glued them onto the top of the basket.
And this is what it looks like now.... a happy little sewing basket that I can use as a sewing basket or a Jewelery box or trinket keeper..... It will go in the Aljo someday. But for now this sweet basket is sitting in my sewing room storing my 3 pairs of reading glasses! lol!.
Well, I finally got around to stitching up the curtain for Trailer #3...for the entry door.
I had a yard of this cool Moda vintage looking towel fabric,,, but the door window was 12" x 42" so I needed to lengthen the fabric...once again I snooped through my stash of fabric and came across just enough 'Ticking' fabric to extend the length of the Moda fabric.,,, then I found some scrap jumbo RicRac trim! Wahooo & Voila! New door window curtain. I even had enough Ticking fabric to make a tie sash for the curtain.
Now to paint the curtain rod red and then get everything installed... 
I just love this ladies western shirt....
It is by "Roper Western Wear of Denver", from their line of retro western style shirts. How lucky am I? I won it on an on-line auction site.... it will go perfect with my red petticoat,,,, and my red cowgirl hat at next summer's Farm Chick camp out. Now to find a cool pair of red cowgirl boots to go with them. I have all Winter to 'shop' for the perfect pair of red boots... Happy Trails to you.... p.s. 'Dear Santa, I wear a size 8 in Red Cowgirl Boots'... & I have been very good! lol!
Oh Good grief.... I could not resist...and bought these two 'Train Cases' aka women's cosmetic over night cases....
I went out to the barn to visit my lil trailer,,,, we talked, we laughed and we made plans for next years Glamping Fun... then I said good night, turned off the light and locked the door....
Scary huh!
We all need a little plastic surgery at some point...and after all, she is 52 years old!
I luv these seats & will have them re-done.... the table is soooo cool! it has that 'atomic starburst' design that was so popular in the late '50's & early '60's.
So am I.... am I a Diva with her inner Country Gal trying to escape,,, or am I a Country Gal displaying her inner Diva? All I know is I LUV my faux Leopard Swing Coat,,,as well as my multi colored petti coat & red Square Dance shoes! Topped with black leggins & a cowgirl ranch hat...see... I am soooo confused! I often say,,, 'if you don't have levity,,, you have lavidity' so enjoy life, be light hearted, laugh and be confused! You have my permission...
As I always do, I get up early and walk around by the river. I enjoy the quiet of the morning, as well as watching nature slowly waking up. I saw 2 Eagles and what seemed to be like a gazillion geese. It was wonderful.
I had taken a lot of photos but for some reason my camera was acting wonky so most of my photos did not come out! Bummer.
This is Fran's sweet lil trailer....she is still snuggled in.
This is Karen's lil 14ft. Shasta. shhh! she is still sleeping!
Connie brought her 'Bandit Queen' complete with (faux) bullet holes! lol!
Nancy brought her trailer #2 'Pony Express' this time...leaving 'Iron Pony' at home with her hubby, Dave.
Sweet sleeping trailers..but soon there will be all kinds of activity...from hiking, to shopping to getting ready for the evening's festivities.... Costumes, games, ornament gift exchange, food & fire pits.... I am already dreaming of next Spring when we can gather together again. But...until then, Happy Trails to you until we meet again.
