Gingerbread (Trailer) House

Is this cool or what???? a spin on the traditional Gingerbread House.....
HoHoHo & Happy Trails. (spotted this on facebook)

Sewing Basket Re~do

I found this sad looking little sewing Basket at the local Thrift for $1.00
It looked so sad.....that I could not resist 'adopting' it....
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!.

Trailer #3's Door Curtain...

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...

Trailer #3 aka 'Farm Girl on the Loose' is coming along and I can hardly wait to go Glamping in her next Summer. Happy Trails!

Look! A Retro Western Style Shirt...

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!

I bought 2 more...

Oh Good grief.... I could not resist...and bought these two 'Train Cases' aka women's cosmetic over night cases....
I haven't decided what to do with them... keep them, decoupage' them or sell them... I love the fabric plaid one, it would look cute in my Serro Scotty trailer... I have several like the white one which is great to re-purpose. Oh well, in the mean time I'll store more cute trailer deco stuff in them. Happy Trails....

Lonely Trailer

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....
Sleep sweet lil trailer, sleep sweet until Spring.

1959 Aljo

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.

OK, some of you have asked how things are coming along on the Aljo...welllllll!? she is in hibernation for now...as my poor hubby is trying to get #3 finished up....
In fact hubby has made it pretty clear that I am to Not bring home any more 'projects' for him until #3 is done... we'll see.... heeheehee! Besides, after 39 years of marriage, he is to old & tired to train in a new wife! lolololol!

Diva or Country Girl?

Confused????
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...

One Last Glamp....

Well thanks to a break in the gloomy raining weather, 15 of my SOTF other gal-pals & myself got to have one last Glamping Fest before we tuck our trailers away for the Winter....
We had our 2nd Annual 'SOTF~ Halloweenie HO-Down' at Riverside State Park.
Even though we couldn't do much decorating due to the rain we still had a wonderful weekend. Oh What fun! Glamping, Junktiquing & Pot Lucking...
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.
Here is my wee lil trailer, getting ready for the day,,, a bit soggy after a night of rain.

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.

Hmmm, Cute Trailer Paint Job...

Is this cute or what?
It is a sweet little 'shop' trailer up in Minatoba, Canada..... I love the 'scollop' design paint job.
Hmmm, might just have to 'borrow' this idea for Trailer #3.... :>)

Welcome to 'Kamp Karen"

Welcome to 'Kamp Karen's'..... Karen & Dash are glad you came...
We had a Trailer Slumber party~glamping weekend at Karen's farmette....

There were 6 of us 'sisters'... 'Sisters on the Fly' gal pals.....We had a perfect weekend, perfect weather, perfect friends & perfect yard sales!

All set up & ready to have fun!

Karen was ready for us...she is the "Hostess with the Mostess"....

Dash enjoyed hanging out with us old hens and a cute chick!

You'll have to arm wrestle Karen for this 'trailer' gift bag....

Denise made this sweet felt candle cozy for Karen... how cute is this!

What a great idea! Linda aka 'Martha Crocker' has this hanging on her trailer.

Denise is so clever.... she attached doillies to the top of some vintage tins...she used glass drawer pulls on the top and she used even smaller glass pulls on the underside for feet!I so need to do this! Check out the apron made from retro kitchen towels!

What a clever way to 'hide' ones 'potty'...

Karen's trailer banquet.... 2 words... 1-very & 2-cute!

Bonnie's wonderful Red, White & Blue kitchen! Check out her Wine Glass, it's made from a small candle holder & canning jar. Clever!

See what 6 trailer diva's can find in a day of carefree yard sale-ing?

Just a few of my "goodies" that I scored! YeeHaw!

Thank you Karen & Dash for hosting a wonderful weekend.

My Lil Trailer Inspector...

My sweet LeiLei is checking out her grandpa's wood work on trailer #3... whew! good news, it passed!

I think LeiLei is looking forward to her first Glamping trip with her Oma, that would be me!

In the mean time hubby dearest is getting the molding completed.... yippee!

Stitched Pillow.

I can't believe someone did all this lovely hand stitching and then donated to a local Thrift store to which I bought it for 99cents, hand washed it, pressed it and then turned it into a deco pillow for my lil Scotty trailer. this is done in cross stitch on 14ct Aida....and is 12 x 10 in size. The stitcher who did this lovely piece of stitchery probably has over 50 hours of hand stitching....

Well we installed the pulls & knobs in #3 to see how they will look! Now to pull everything off, and varnish the wood and paint the hinges...

Got my paint for the stove, hinges & refridge..... now I just need a non windy day to start painting!

happy Trails....

Walmart Camping...

So I was at the local WallyWorld the other day when I spotted these Campers....

and these campers.....

and, OMG! this trailer! It was a busy camping week at WallyWorld! and by the way... I sooo want one of these! (minus the Confederate flag)...

Pass the Can of Spray Paint, Please....

I love this shade of red.....
Spray Paint is my friend! I love that you can take a cheesy brassy framed mirror, or what ever, dust it off and give it a coat or two of color and have instant cute for your trailer....
This tray & mirror will go in trailer #3 .....

and these sweet, formerly cheesy plastic photo frames will go in the Scotty.....

How can you not love spray paint?!....

I Got a Horse! Well Sort of!

Ok, so last year I attended the Appaloosa Museum "Appy Ride & Camping trip" to benefit the Appaloosa Museum in Moscow, Idaho.
I don't own a horse (yet) so I made a cute Stick Horse and placed it out front of my little Scotty trailer last year....Well this year I was all set to attend the event again,,,but due to some health issues I had to cancel....bummer...because this year I had an upgraded 'horse'.

Well since I have a whole year to get ready for the next ride.... I just might repaint this pony and then jazz up the saddle along with some Bling! After all, it's not like I don't have any projects or anything to do...lol!

Wal Mart Shoppers....

Attention Wal mart Shoppers!

The next time you take a jab at the people who shop Wal Mart stores, you might want to stop and think.... who are these people?
All I know is today 3 ginormous custom motor homes pulled in, you know the kind, private coaches that cost between $300-500 thousand dollars each.... The 3 motor homes I saw pull into the parking lot came from the Northern Quest Casino and I would venture they belong to the celebrities that just performed there. I am in awe, these things are totally self contained and I have seen models with sleeping quarters, luxurious bathrooms, offices, kitchen galleys and sitting room. These have 5 air conditioners! The 3rd motor home was black but with a very similar design, I just couldn't get around to get a photo.
So who shops at your Wal Mart?

I think 'Reba McIntyer' was recently performing at the Casino... could the design which sort of looks like an "R" mean it was her & her group? Hmmmm, I wonder....

Hmmm guess I'll never know.
