A Weekend in Wonderland

Last weekend we were lucky enough to be a part of the Mad Hatter Vintage Flea Market, hosted by Gladys and Celia Hanning of Junebug Furniture and Design. The grange, where the show is held was full of amazing antiques and vintage items brought by a faboulous selection of vendors. The setting was magical, and so much detail was paid to bringing the Wonderland theme to life. Thanks to Gladys and Celia for a beautiful show and such a lovely weekend!

Congratulations, Moran Prairie Grange!

Second Place at the Spokane County Fair! I'm so proud of our grange and all of the members who worked so hard to put our display together. Thanks to: Sally, Maudie, Don, Sally's daughter, Dawn, Dawn's son, Cameron (who put all up all the burlap - thank you!), Judy, Sally's neighbor who made the basket, Dianna and me.

Labor Day Weekend with Funky Junk

We had a fabulous time in Sandpoint, Idaho participating in the Funky Junk Antique Show this Labor Day weekend. Hollie and Jennifer always put on a wonderful show, and this was no exception. We thank them for putting such heart into each event, and making it such a lovely experience for customers and vendors alike. We love Funky Junk!  

1957 Pathfinder Vintage Trailer

This is the toaster I used in my first apartment. Makes the best toast!

Last winter I drove out to the small town of Tum Tum, Washington and came home with this 1957 Pathfinder trailer. I suppose I am a little sentimental about vintage trailers because they remind of my great-grandparents, Grandma Anna and Daddy Bud.  As long as I can remember, they had a little Shasta trailer that they used to travel back and fourth from Tucson to Yuma. My great-grandfather was a conductor with Southern Pacific railroad and my great-grandmother would stay in the trailer while they were away from their home in Tucson. After he retired from the railroad, it was used for camping, fishing and hunting, and later as storage. Even after it had been permanently parked on the property, they took special care of it, painting it every couple of years to keep it looking good after being baked by the Arizona sun.  As kids, we used to love to play in the trailer; it made a perfect "clubhouse".

Maybe because of sentimental reasons, or maybe because I wanted my clubhouse back, I decided that I wanted a little vintage trailer to park on my property, as well.  I have been looking for one for several years that would fit into the modest budget that I had been setting aside for it.  Finally, I found this little Pathfinder on Craig's List. It was priced right, so I drove out to Tum Tum in the wee hours of  the morning to purchase it. Happily, the interior of the trailer is good condition, with no major damage. Nearly everything is original such as the lights, shades and Formica. The floor had been replaced in the 70's and was really unattractive, so I covered over that with black and white vinyl. After the floor was finished, I could think about decorating the trailer.
I decided that I wanted to decorate it with fun, vintage items that would be true to the era of the trailer, instead of a specific theme. Although, I am definitely going for more kitchy items.
I was able to display the trailer at our May Barn Bazaar, and since our guests seemed to enjoy seeing the inside of the trailer, I thought our blog readers would like to see it, as well. It's still a work it progress, but I'm in no hurry. I am enjoying the process of fixing it up and finding just the right items to put inside. My son is having a great time with his new "clubhouse", and so am I. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Grover and Soda Pop

Soda Pop

Grover

We havent shared any photos of the goats yet, mainly because these goats are not easy to photograph! But today my son  took some photos of Grover and Soda Pop and wanted to share them with you. We have had a great time with them this summer, and they are becoming pretty spoiled little kids! In case you are wondering, they are Nigerian Dairy Goats.

Lots of new items in the store.

New jewelry, too.

Branches

It's been a crazy spring and summer, so far! I'm finally able to post a few photos (all taken by fabulous Mary Joe Photography) of our spring Barn Bazaar. Thank you to all our wonderful customers and vendors. We had a great show and fortunately, after such a wet spring, we were blessed with perfect weather during the show. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped to make the show a success! Our next show will be our Country Christmas show at the Moran Prairie Grange on December 3rd & 4th. We have decided not to hold a Fall show this year so that we can focus all of our attention on the Christmas show. You will be able to see us at some other shows this summer: Art on the Green (with our artwork) and Buggy Barn with art and antiques, followed by Funky Junk in Sandpoint, ID. We hope everyone has a great summer. Check back soon for fun photos of the trailer taken by Mary and Joe.
