Trying Again

Ok, long silence...

a small amount of mourning.

A trip to the scrapyard,

the last camper did not make it.

As much as I had high hopes,

JWS

finally convinced me that it was not salvageable.

It has hung in the air between us for the past few months.

I still wanted a camper.

Not a new one,

not a big one.

Something old,

vintage,

character.

Something I could decorate.

Another project.

Then Tuesday,

JWS comes home from the fair meeting,

telling me that he might have a surprise for me.

I needled,

whined

and

annoyingly begged

until he caved and told me.

There was another camper in the works.

If we didn't take it,

it also was going to be scrapped.

How bad could it be?

So we went and looked...

and decided to try again!

This one is not newer, but in really good shape inside and out.

As close as I can figure

1967.

So off to my favorite thrift store again

and

the picture at the top is the haul for today.

Melamac.

A vintage tablecloth

and we are up and running again.

It will be a great winter project.

For now,

it is in the garage.

I have to get

my craft open house i

behind me

and

a

trip to Florida

and then

I will be covering cushions

and painting

and

making curtains

and

of course,

scrubbing and cleaning.

I can't wait!
