Vintage Trailer Awning

Hi, I just wanted to answer a question from Cori about where I purchased my vintage trailer awning...

I purchased it on Ebay from a lovely lady named Marti, It was so easy to do business with her. You can Contact Marti by Clicking on her business card/link above to go to her Ebay store. ( I will also add a link to her store on my Blog under Trailer Stuff. )
A genuine good person, and a lovely quality awning to boot! I give my thumbs up and highly recommend Marti for your vintage trailer awning purchase! Good Luck to any of you gals undertaking a vintage trailer restoration! If you have any questions at all, just let me know, I would be more than happy to answer , or find an answer :D, to your vintage trailer questions!

Happy Trailering!

Christine

200 Miles of Memories

(Back tracking a bit here... to our second outing, just before our Labor Day trip to Grand Haven)

200 Mile Garage Sale Trail from Algonac Michigan to Sebawaing along the Lake Huron Shore

Our Anniversay trip to Lake Huron's 200 Mile Long Garage Sale Trail
Stopping at Another Sale...

The Signs read: Purses, RV Stuff, Fishing Tackle...What More Does A Gal Need? ;D

200 Miles of Nothing but Garage Sales! Oh My....I died and went to Heaven!

Camping Along the 200 Mile Garage Sale Trail

Our First Evenings Stopover in Algonac State Park (we put my Awning up for the first time! ~ I was sooo... excited to see it on! Adorable!

I also have two other small awnings that will go on the left/back window, and the kitchen/right side windows...we still have to figure out how to put them on

It's Good To Be Safe At Home!

"There's nothing half so pleasant as coming home again.” Mary Elizebeth Sangster

"When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home” Thornton Wilder

Let me start by saying HELLO and Thanx! to all you gals that have sent encouraging words throughout my " Hit or Miss" blogging.
I really didn't mean to, I just never seemed to make the time to do it! How'z that for the truth ;D! That's Me , being Christine... I'm like that...:D...
But now that summer has officially wound down,; Labor Day has come and gone, Kids and my " College Kids" are back to school, and things seem to take on a slower pace, I have begun to miss blogging itself, and all you wonderful gals who seem to have it all organized, from their Day Jobs, selling on Etsy, Crafting, running a household , taking time for themselves and their families, and still keep up on their blogs! Phew, my hats So Off to you! Tell me your Secrets!
Through this world of blogging, I have found that I am not as Organized as I thought! :D
That's ok for me, but, I really don't ever want to hurt any ones feelings by just going away....and that I did :D, Sometimes it takes work to being a friend, not in a bad way...but, others feelings are very important to me, and I do feel bad for not keeping in touch, I did'nt realize how many friends I had til I dropped off for a while ;D, I So Very Much Appreciate All Your Good Wishes and Heartfelt Words!

Well , I'm back, If you'll have me...:D, I Hope I can pass on some Fun and a Smile to all you gals out there that think my blog was worth a visit!

Thanx Bunches!

A Bundle of Hugs and a Bushel of Smiles to you All!

Christine

What a jumble!

What A Jumble!

Phew.....Almost a Month without a Single Post!

So Here is what I've been doing...or .... here comes the Excuses...

Went away for a Wonderful 22nd Anniversary Weekend...took a lot of pictures, had a lot of fun...

Came back, sat down at the laptop....and decided to change my blog...

So began the downward spiral. I changed this, then I changed that, was not happy with this change, was not happy with that change. Too many Ideas swirling in this head of mine...and then couldn't make it exactly the way I had in my minds eye...I gave up! Got aggravated with my efforts, and then , Just gave up and stayed away. No, didn't even look back at my own blog in the last few weeks, no not even a glimpse!

Oh I lurked around others blogs, seeing what you all were up to, adding a few thoughts along the way, but, still staying in the shadows...hoping that, when I did go back to my blog...something magical would have happened...

Nope,
Still the same...
Well, here I am, the same little changes I made are still there....not exactly what I was looking for.....;D, oh well. I'll just go with it....at least until my graphic arts / blog layout classes finish...or, until, I get some extra cash...which ever comes first!;D

Making plans for the long labor day weekend like most of you other gals, packing the "TinCan Cottage" with all the necessities.





Promted by a Most Gracious gift by none other than Jennifer Pagnelli of Sis Boom Fabrics I made a few decorating changes, by adding here wonderful red and white whimsical fabric in the Casey Scroll pattern, from her BellBottoms line. It's soft and has a adorable vintage flair to it! I made one pillow so far for my trailer, and plan on using more of her wonderful fabric all over my little trailer! A whole redo when I can afford it! I took pictures of all this, and even a picture of my trailer with its vintage trailer awning up! Yep, I have been holding out on all of you. That's if there's someone left out there, but if not, I will look at my Blog as my personal , indulgent journal . And I promise myself, I will be posting everything right after the labor day weekend for myself or anyone left out there in blog land that might still be the least bit interested.;D



Off to ...



Happy Holiday Weekend!

Have some fun...and enjoy summers last Hurrah!

Rah! Rah! Sis Boom Bah! ( I just had to steal that one! , Thanx again to Jennifer! ;) )

See Ya when ya get back!
