If I have an hour or more of spare time, I run outside and work on Maxine the camper. Okay, scratch that, we all know Becky doesn’t run….like, ever. Maybe I jaunt over to her….that sounds better.

Oh Maxine, we’ve only been together for two weeks, but you’re certainly keeping me on my toes! First, I’ve created quite the habit of talking to you. You’re a camper. I’m a human. I assume this habit will continue. Secondly, my original budget to gussy you up and get you in tip-top shape by May … More MAXINE UPDATE {8 Week Delay? Not on my watch!}
Buying a vintage camper trailer has been a dream of mine for 10+ years. Last week I found her….I call her Maxine. She’s a 1959 Fan Camper, made in Wakarusa, IN (very close to my childhood hometown).

I’m itching for Spring to get here….and stay. I live in Indiana and one day last week it was 70 degrees, and then today is was SNOWING. Seriously. Not okay.

If you’re ever at a loss for inspiration…go to an AUCTION!

Found a great treasure at an auction. It reminds me of a small church pew. There’s a neat drawer at the base. After two yards of home decor fabric and a staple gun the piece has transformed into a true statement piece.
