  Been out working on our 67 mini Bell .... getting it ready for our first camping trip in April with our daughter and her family.  We won't be going far, but always want it as close to ready as possible so that if we have any issues, we are close to stores to get it fixed.  Every year I choose a different theme for the decor in the inside of "Maizy Belle" and this year I chose the garden theme.  I want it to be soft, cozy, peaceful and relaxing.  Most of the items I have chosen to redo her in are either ones I have had for years or purchased very cheaply.  The bedspread is from a thrift store years ago and is a white chenille.  Love it so much but on the fair side never put the tassels where they can hit you in the face at night or all night you will feel like something is crawling on you.   The curtains are from a 1960's sheet that I got in the original package a few years ago.  So I washed it up and lined it with white muslin and made...

 just got out to our camp site for the first time and setting up  this is one of our favorite campgrounds...people stopping by all the time to talk about the size and decor of our little vintage camper we slept very well the first night ...the bed is just a little smaller than a full sizeI  it had a small bathroom that we remodeled. the bathroom measures 20 inches x 35 inches....right now we have a port a potty in there on one end and storage on the other side  here is the port a potty and my storage above it...as of now I have some ivy also that drapes across the bar  the other side of the bathroom where we have storage her are our towels, dishcloths, tablecloths, and etc...I made the bag on the wall for my hair brushes, mirror and etc.  now this is the otherside of the wall where the kitchen stove which is original to 67 in great shape...we have not used it yet we are going to have the lines all checked out professionally first....

It seems I don't even have to look for projects for the upcoming Spring, all I have to do is leave my house.  I have been cleaning out cupboards and closets and slowly getting rid of things.  So today I was going to stop by St. Vincent DePaul Thrift store and leave a couple bags of clothing and misc dishes.  When I went inside to get my receipt there was this cool little old vintage 50's step stool.  I remember these from when I was a kid and the more I looked at it the more it pulled me to buying it After asking hubby what color we can't decide whether to paint it yellow, red or white.  I think I might wait until I get the vinyl for the seat and back and then decide what color to work with.   Will be a nice item for our vendor show this summer.  Right now we are on the calendar for 3 "The Rusty Cupboard" vendor shows.  Daughter and I will be busy selling again this year, last year we took the year off and didn't attend any showings. ...
