A blog about vintage trailers and glamping
Let's make some cuteness shall we? This is one of my new designs that I just finished up. You know how they say it's a lot of work to restore or build a vintage trailer from the ground up? Not with this one! This is a fun and easy little canned ham camper to make. It's soft and squishy and I'm sure everyone that sees it won't be able to resist picking it up. Those of … [Read more...]
Have you ever went on a camping trip and felt like you were having such fun that the time went by way too fast? That is how we felt this weekend. We had an absolute blast at the Northern Indiana vintage trailer rally. I must say that it's one of my favorite rallies. The KOA is great and all the attendees are just wonderful. It was so nice to catch up with old friends … [Read more...]
OK, so I got a bit snap happy and wanted to share some pictures with you all. I completed the dinette seat covers and while they aren't perfect, they will do the trick for now. I also appliqued a couple pillows I picked up with "J" and "B" (for those that don't know...those stand for her name; Jelly Bean). I haven't decided if I like them with the letters on there or … [Read more...]
Look what showed up at my house! This is a 1955 Bellwood, a trailer of my dreams! I spotted on like this one in Kentucky awhile back sitting in front of someone's house. Of course I had to stop and check it out. The gentleman came out and told me that it wasn't for sale but encouraged me to go take a look inside. It was love at first sight! Ever since then I told … [Read more...]
Well, I think I'm sort of doing things a bit backwards when it comes to the 1956 Southland Runabout. I made cushions for it that I showed you all here, and recently purchased a fridge and also found a vintage stove that a friend of mine sold to me. I even bought a new thick memory foam mattress for the rear double bed. The reason this is all backwards is because all … [Read more...]
Where to begin....Well, the other day I saw an ad on Craigslist for a 1956 canned ham but there were no photos. The ad said the camper was in good condition (you know this statement always leaves a lot open to each persons interpretation!) But I thought it wouldn't hurt to check it out. So I contacted the seller to inquire about it. The seller sent me some photos and … [Read more...]
I thought this would be a creatively fun post! I'm completely inspired by the talents of these creative folks that make these adorable vintage trailer and caravan pieces of art! The first is this tin camper birdhouse. How cute is this!? The details are amazing. Photo courtesy of High Milage Trikes Photo courtesy of High Milage Trikes I love these … [Read more...]
Happy Friday! I finished up a new painting and wanted to share it with you all. This is a 12 x 12 mixed media created on wrapped canvas. I had a lot of fun with this one and of course had to paint one of my favorite subjects; a vintage trailer. How cute is this little red canned ham? The background is made up of layers of vintage maps. Do you recognize the words? … [Read more...]
How cute is this!? I received this in the mail today from a gal that makes them. I'll try and find out if she has a website and if so I'll post it for you all. She normally makes these look like the T@B trailers but agreed to create a Shasta Compact for me. It has secret compartments for hiding wee treasures in too. P.S. I want to wish all of you a very … [Read more...]
During my Internet browsing I've come across quite a number of cute vintage trailer style trailer figurines and even a few older diecasts. I haven't found an elusive Shasta Compact yet but some of these others are pretty darn cute. How about an M & M one? This one is on sale for $29.99 from the Hamilton Collection. How about a Shasta bank? Available for … [Read more...]
