Be the bee.

My motivation to finally "bee-come" an artist and writer has just increased ten-fold! 

You can expect to see more of my work in the coming months and links to where you can purchase it soon. (I gotta eat and pay the mortgage, too!) And even if you aren't able to buy...I'd love to hear what you think of my work, how it affects you and ideas of your own I could translate to photographs and words for you.

Our own vintage trailers

We are the proud "parents" of two vintage trailers! Our latest is this 1964 Aristrocrat Lil' Loafer. She's all of 9 feet long (12 with her hitch) and can sleep 3 as long as nobody is too big or too tall! I'll post more pics as we redecorate her into the Shabby Chic "Lil' Cutie" that she is to be! Imagine a blue and white paint job and soft blues/whites/pinks inside. Here are a few of our inspiration pieces. I'll post if she gets her own blog! She's ready to camp, no restoration needed, just a redo on the color palette.

Here's a bedspread we already have...

And  a small throw...
 

Material for curtains we liked...


And these adorable spice tins I just ordered off Etsy. I already had a similar rack I can use.

And the Princess...




Princess Aquatini (a 1959 Shasta Airflyte-16) may now get a new name since she will become The Man's trailer. He's working on the restoration and she doesn't look too pretty. I'm afraid she had more rot than we thought. I think she'll still go a nice aqua color when we are ready to paint.

Vintage Campers and Trailers


I got turned on to this whole idea from a professional organizer colleague. This is fascinating and I can't wait to join the ranks of these folks. What beautiful little spaces have been created that YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU! Anywhere!

Please take a moment to see the beautiful photographs at these blogs:
