Thriftin’ Time Tuesdays

 

Back in October 2010, I adopted Ms. Daisy from a Boy Scout Troop in Post Falls, Idaho.  I actually drove her home myself…she drove like a dream!  Before I knew it (one week later) bad weather set in and she was tarped for the winter.

And here we have Décor ala Boy Scouts.  The original interior with a few late 70’s touches.  Should I keep those curtains?

Here’s a sneak peak at what I was doing all last week……

And it is the end of April and snowing…will I ever get out in this trailer….this year?

That’s all for now, folks…. a South of the Border theme coming soon.  Down Mexico way…..I can’t wait to show you all the cute goodies I have been collecting for the final show and tell.

    Karen ...you amaze me with all that you can do and accomplish!
    Dash looks so cute sitting so proud in the trailer.

    I love the colors you've chosen, it's definitely going to be cheerful!

    To me, this reminds me of when I was a child playing house....only yours is for real!
    Can't wait to see the finished product....
    snow???? Oh my gosh! However, it was 46 degrees here in south Texas this morning, unbelievable.

    I love it! Your colors are wonderful, so festive. You must be having such a good time with her. Ms. Daisy is going to be a very special place.

    Looks like fun! I've always wanted one of those silver bullet style campers...my husband thinks I just want something else to decorate. Maybe he's right??? Enjoy!
