My little Winnebago

I went to the town garage sale last Saturday and got lots of goodies and on my way out of town I remembered seeing this camper when I first got into town. During the crazy hunt for other treasures-I had forgot about it. I decided to go back by. The owner's daughter was taking down sale signs and I asked her if it was already sold. She said yes- they gave it away(can you believe that!) I was sooooooooooooo disappointed. I went to my best friend Tete's house to mope. Then I thought-I'll just go see if I can buy it off of whoever bought it. Well, luck must be with me because I was able to buy it off of him. I have yet to get it home. It needs a lot of work and two new tires to just move it. I'm not sure what year it is (I haven't got the title from the owner yet). The inside will have to be entirely gutted. But I have great plans for it!!!!!!

For those of you who don't know-I already have a pink camper(it's posted on the It's a Shabby Pink World blog) and I've over decorated it-so I'm super excited about this new project!

I'm joining http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ for more great Whites!

  13. I flipped back and forth to each blog...both are such fun! The campers...a new idea for me. I don't know anyone who collects them...but, I sort of like the idea, not that I would know what to do with one if I had it! Cute stuff here...

  15. I Love this!!!! After I saw your post (we were on vacation and I didn't have time to leave a comment) I spotted one in the back yard of a small farm....I'm so tempted to stop and ask if they would sell it. The tires are all flat so I don't think they are using it. It would be such a blast to do what you are doing! I wish I had your energy!!!!
