Still Buying, Not Working

With holidays

and

more work hours,

I have not had time to spend an

Evening with Ellie.

After all, this was to be my

WINTER project

and

technically,

it is not WINTER yet!

I found this

vintage cooler

at an antique mall and had to have it.

The suitcase and melmac

were

thrift store finds.

$2!!! 

I could not believe the price!

The fabric for the dinette,

not quite as

fun pricing!

But I love it!

The foam for the cushions?

Downright pricey! 

Wow!

I will be using the old foam

for the dinette,

not sure

where I am going to buy the foam for the bed,

but,

I might have to hit the lottery to purchase it!

We have water!

But first,

I found these cups in my MIL's garage!

They are perfect for in the camper!

Love the colors

and

so

retro!

And

tada!

We have water!

JWS attached the hose and started

the water running,

handed me a flashlight

and

said to go look for leaks. 

Really? 

I would have rather been on the

"OH MY GOSH,

SHUT OFF THE HOSE

end.

I found leaks,

but only two

and that is not bad

for something that has sat outside

in

Pennsylvania

for

at least 40 years. 

And

more progress on the painting.

No one told me that you have to be a contortionist to work on one of these things.

This poor body of mine has been in positions

that it has not been in in years...

or ever!

I think that once I put the bunk down,

I will be channeling

Michelangelo.

That is

laying on my back painting.

I see so many people taking out the upper bunk,

I am not thinking that is an option for me

with six grandchildren,

four of which

are

awaiting the first camping trip.

More Decor

Jackson China

and

whatever that rooster plate is?

A Walston, Pa find.

Hand-crocheted rag rug that I just finished

1967 Tea Towel and pot holder.

Cocoa Beach, Florida

More Melmac dishes. 

Walston, Pa

and

Spaces Corners,

the

B and E Depot,

Two of my favorite junque shop stops.

In the box with the Melmac was the great cream and sugar set.

Doug, from the Walston store

was hesitant to sell the Melmac.

It was his grandmothers and he didn't want

it to go to someone who just wanted to resell it. 

He happily parted with it,

(as I parted with my $20 bill)

as I told him that I was going to use it in my camper.
