Glamping fever

After pulling my vintage trailer out from under cover, I started with a much needed cleaning. Unbelievable how much dust can accumulate inside with all the windows closed and a tarp covering it all Winter. But I'll get her all cleaned up and ready soon for a mini vacation getaway. I decided to make new curtains for the bed area which I made from an old chenille bed cover, and I will be making new kitchen ones from a vintage tablecloth. The old ones have faded quite a bit already. Besides I'm going for a bit of a new look.

Here's the first set of curtains I made.
And here are the new (recycled) curtains.

 What do you think? I think it softened it up so much nicer. I'm making new covers for a couple of throw pillows also. 

Just playing around and as an idea strikes me I am going for it. I have in my head a plan of how I would like it to look, will just have to see if I can get it there. Trying to use up some vintage pieces I have laying around.

I am so looking forward to taking her out. Not sure where I'll go first, but fishing has to be nearby.

One of these days I gotta hook up with the Sisters on the Fly. They seem to have so much fun when they all get together. I could learn alot from those women. They have been doing glamping for quite some time now.  I figure I got some practice runs to do first. Don't want to miss out on Glamping weekend June 2 and 3rd.

After a full day of cleaning and working around here, I took one look at my hammock and figured it was as good a place as any to take a break and enjoy some warm, breezy Spring weather. Would'nt you like to join me?

Did you know you have those squiggly words...in order to comment? They are so hard to read. Since I got rid of them, I get a lot more comments.
