Memories of Wenatchee, WA.

Thrift shop finds.... the bowl is Mid-century & I got it for $1.29 and the little blue tray was a cheesy gold metal tissue box holder which I got for 99cents then I spray painted it blue.

So what do you do with all those 99cent silver trays that you find at the local thrift shops? why you paint them! I use them all the time & don't worry if they get scratched.

Paint them to match your trailer, or party theme.

I love this belt buckle, I won at an auction...now to find the perfect belt for it.

It's only been about 4 weeks since I last camped with 70 'Sisters on the Fly' gals over in Wenatchee, Washington....

Boots, Chaps & Cowgirl Hats....it was a lot of fun.

But the Summer fun isn't over yet,,,I leave Friday for the Elk River (Idaho) with 6 other 'Sisters' for a weekend Glamping getaway & to help one of the Sister's celebrate her birthday.

Then the following weekend I will be camping down in the Moscow Idaho area for the 'Appaloosa Museum' (a fund raiser)...4 days of camping around horses and wonderful horse people not to mention Dutch Oven cooking and a Silent Auction.

I will have my camera, cowgirl boots & hat and sporting a ginormous smile on my face.

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures to share.

The Scotty's Table...

I Luv Glitter! After all, it's all about the Silly.....

So what do you get when you have a bunch of cute graphics, a container of Mod Podge, some glitter & time on your hands?

Why you get a glittered decoupaged table! lol!

So what do you think?

FYI....

To get a closer view of the pictures, just click on them & POOF! they get bigger! lol!

SOTF-Wenatchee Washington

Apron made from a pair of cast off jeans! how fun! Cowgirl Up! lol!

Even the Gnomes wanted to join in the fun with "Sisters on the Fly"

There were about 69 cute trailers this year.

(left to right) Me, Myself & I, Kelly, Toni & Mig smile for the camera as we get ready to caravan over to Wenatchee, Washington for the 5th annual Sisters on the Fly "Northwest Gathering".

Potty Break time..., finding a spot where you can park 4 trailers to make a mad dash to a bathroom is always an interesting quest! lol!

I was the 'lead dog' and Kelly was the 'tail gunner' and yes I did manage to get us lost, well actually not really lost, as it turned out we where on the wrong side of the freeway from the campground! Next time I will practice on my "left & right" skills! lol! My "Scotty with a potty" and Mig's lil Shasta.

Margaret making Margaritas... YUM!

Ah! back in the Saddle Again....

Group shot of a bunch of Happy Cowgirls! I am the 2nd one in on the right side...you can tell it's me 'cuz I am grinning from ear to ear!.

These are just a few fun pictures of our recent Sisters on the Fly outing!

Oh what fun meeting up with old and new friends...I especially enjoyed meeting up with some of my former "Ventura Sisters" who brought me a little California sunshine .

Next years event will be in Idaho...and I plan to GO!

Happy Trails!

Sisters on the Fly NW Camping Outing in Washington with vintage travel trailers 2010

How cool is this! my 'trailer-trailer'sign, my sunflowers, my boot purses & my "psycho-path" sign are in the video! : > )

What a great group of ladies...I mean...'Sisters" and the best part is the amount ($6.000.00) that was raised by the group, for Women's cancer-'Casting for Recovery'. A great retreat for women who are/have been through cancer.

Envy!!!

Step Envy...no more!

Ok, so my friends accuse me of having a case of the Envy's!

I guess it's true,,,I suffer from Truck Envy, Barn Envy, Horse Envy, Vintage Trailer Envy and Step Envy....

On a recent Glamping trip in Prosser, WA. my gal pal, Heather had this really cool trailer step to make stepping into her trailer easier....I WANT ONE! I NEED ONE!....I thought about stealing hers but it was painted red and would be hard to hide! lol!

So after much whining,(me) her darling hubby made one for me....SCORE!

Now I can scratch 'Step Envy' off my Envy List...

But then I got to thinking, I need to customize my step in case some other Trailer Diva wants to steal mine....& here is the end result.....

Gotta luv a good case of the Envys! lol!

SOTF and Farm Chicks...June 2010

Path Finder....to Farm Chicks as well as other "paths"....lol! (you can click on the picture to get a better 'read'.)

Hey, even when camping, we like to start our mornings off with coffee & reading the newspaper.

This is a little tin that I decorated with a picture and some re-purposed bling.

The rain may have put a 'damper' on our decorating but it didn't put a 'damper' on my love for sitting and watching the river rush by.

Here are a few of the trailers...unfortunately I didn't get around to taking pictures of all of the trailers. Tammy's "Miss Montana" is parked in front of my Scotty.

We had a great time in spite of the rain and when the rain stopped we came out to play.

There where a total of 20 trailers.
The Spokesman Review Newspaper sent out a reporter & photographer & we made the newspaper.

My lil "Scotty with a Potty"....Normally we decorate the outside of our trailers, but with the winds and rains we couldn't.

The food was awesome, these gals can put on quit a spread!

Pot Luck Nite....food & friends...what a great combination.

This is the Scotty & Dot's that I painted on my trailer.

I stitched up this trailer banner. It has this western motif on one side and on the other side is my Sister on the Fly number.

Inside Kari's trailer...it is a Corvette and is cute as a bug decked out in blues & pinks..

Inside Heather's trailer. She has a red toile and chickens motif. I luv her red radio and her use of embroidered cloth napkins as a window valance.

Heather earning her "Lemon Drop Martini" badge. Yummm! they were delish!

Kari found this cool picnic/camping box for a Model-A car.

Sisters 1156, 1281, 444, 696...yes we have names too! lol! and as you can see, we eat very healthy! lol!

This is Gepetto, he may look like a wee little bear but...

he really is a cute little dog and his "mom" Juli brought him camping with us.

He was such a character & was more than eager to score a treat.

Heather made this cute sign to display her sister number....the really cool part is, it Velcro's on & off. How cool is that!

This is my Apron Tree. I set up my mini aprons at every 'Sisters on the Fly' event that I attend.

I had fun embroidering this towel for my co-hort in crime, Heather. Her trailer is called,

"4 Chicks only"...

I found this fun magnetic sign and could not resist putting it on the door where my little 'potty' is stored(hidden).

It's so delightful to snuggle up and read in my lil trailer...

My little Banquette in my Scotty...ok, so I admit it, I rarely eat here.

There were 20 trailers, and 28 ladies "Glamping" this past weekend at the "Bowl & Pitcher" on the Spokane River....and what fun we had.

It is amazing what we can accomplish in 4 days in spite of the rain!

We hit the antique shops, Thrift shops, a few yard sales in between the rains.

We wined & dined on yummy foods.

Then Saturday we all converged on the Fairgrounds to shop the "Farm Chicks~ vintage & antique show.

I scored another vintage mixer....Wohoo!

I have to admit....it was really crowded...I ran into lot's friends as well as met ladies who had come from Montana and Arizona just to shop this popular event.

The local newspaper did an article on us which was fun to read.

Now I have 18 day s to get ready for my next glamping trip with the "sisters"...

What a super duper weekend with a wonderful group of Super Duper gal pals.

Happy Trails....

Scotty Tea Set

Look what my daughter found for me at Target today! OMG! Is this cute or what! It will look so cute in my 1963 Serro Scotty trailer....
hmmm, I am thinking I need another vintage trailer to transfer my shabby/retro/ pink & blue deco to and then re-do the Scotty in black/red/white & maybe a splash of yellow just for kicks! lol!
Hmmm, guess I had better start baking some cookies in hopes to bribe my hubby into going along with my hair-brained idea! lol!

Lots of Pillows

I love using pillows as a source of decorating...Cute, Colorful and Light Weight. The cowgirl pillow is from scraps left from an apron project and an old sheet. I found cute silver metal cowgirl hat, and cowgirl boot buttons to embellish the pillow.
The large pillow, white with pink roses is a pillow sham that I found at the Thrift and for only 99cents.
The Pink and brown pillow is a sweet pillow that I won in a blog giveaway by "Dark Horse Farm Designs." www.darkhorsefarmdesigns.com
The pillow case, (pink & black) I stitched up from fabric that a sweet friend form the MaryJane Farm forum sent me as a gift.
Hmmm, I am thinking I just might have to go down to my sewing room, dig through my scraps and stitch up another pillow... after all, I have a little room left on the bed for another pillow or two! lol!

More Scotty Decorating Fun

Little by little things are getting done on the Scotty..yaya, I know...we still need to work on the Aljo...but I have a trip in a few days so I need to get things done on the Scotty. Today's project was to paint the wheels. Now Hubby is on the internet searching for 10" Baby Moons to cover the wheels. But for now the centers will be blue & black.

Hubby had to fight a bit to get the tires off and on...but he did & he didn't even use any "experaltives deleatives" ! lolo!

I found this lil shelf for 99cents at the Goodwill store, bought it, brought it home, painted it, added (glued) lace to the front, glued on the flower & ladybug and hubby attached it to the wall for me to display my lil purfume bottles & what nots.

As for this silly tin sign, I found it at T.J. Maxx for $4.99...perfect to stick my magnets on.

It is on the closet door where my Scotty Potty hidden.

Ok, I still have some more projects to finish up and just 11 days before the next Glamping.
