The Little Cabin

We're almost ready--

The Portuguese Trader--our name for our vintage Shasta trailer-- is being taken out for a spin in the mountains for a couple days.

I'm just making sure that I have all the essentials. Double checking for batteries, matches, and pretty BOOKS!

Lots of pillows and linens to match. No reason not to have the comforts of home. Vintage towels, aprons, and pails add to the country feel of our little cabin on wheels.

I was thrilled to find this thrift store mug not long after we made the Trader our own.

I hope no one forgot the can opener or T.P.! But I know I have everything else I need right here!

Hope your having a fabulous vintage summer too!
Ciao! for now! Thanks for stopping by!

    I'll admit it. I'm jealous! I have to go through your blog now and see what color your Shasta is!
    Happy Trails!

    Oh, my gosh! This is just too cute! We have a motor home, and your trailer has way more personality than our rv! I adore your pillows, they are just gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration!

    I love what you have done with your travel trailer. We also have a vintage trailer that we have been renovating over the past month or so. We are almost there and will be taking "Miss Betty" on her first trip to the mountains in a week. I am always interested in seeing what others have done to their vintage trailers. My husband has been very understanding in regards to my need to make the trailer something that I feel comfortable in. Translation.........he lets me use lots of girly stuff and he doesn't complain. I will be posting my pictures in a day or so. Enjoy your little precious home away from home and your vacation. Happy trails!

    Who says a trailer can't be cute and homey? Looks like just the right amount of "girlie necessities" to me!! Have fun, Julie

    I can remember camping trips as a child in a Prowler. I just love the cottage spin you've put on your Shasta. You'd never get me out of it. Great job.

    I love vintage campers. I have a pink 1972 smokey that I've totally redone! It's such fun!

    How utterly charming! And so very you!!
    This is the best way to go camping. Kelly is coming for a visit and we are all going camping in pretty primitive cabins! Not nearly as cozy as your trailer. But I'm so happy that we're finally having sun and warmth, that it will be cozy enough!
    Have a wonderful time!
    Love,
    Kay

    sweet pillows on the daybed. I love it.
