Second-Hand Treasures

Over the past year I have acquired a few second-hand, thrift store finds 
to go in our 1965 Avion camp trailer.  


A water pitcher and bowl for washing hands. 


 I also needed a table in the trailer. and when I found a matching pair of drop-leaf end tables, I purchased them hoping one would fit in the space between the counter and the bed. It fit perfectly!  The table is easily moved outside when camping for several days, or moved over in front of the bench when we are eating inside. 


Utensils will be stored in the drawer.


This glass pitcher with a copper handle and lid, holds my drinking water.
I can add a lighted candle underneath and warm water for tea if desired.  



Here is my favorite find, an antique, early 1900's seal skin suitcase.
  

The interior is in pristine condition. 





A perfect place to store my favorite vintage western shirt and fringed jacket.


I purchased it from OldRedHenVintage.etsy.com


I just received an email from
Claudia, the proprietor of Old Red Hen Vintage.
 She has generously offered my readers
 a coupon for 10% off your order from her wonderfully, unique store.
Add this coupon code VIP10 to your order when ordering.
I know you will find something great.  She has a good variety of vintage, and antique items.

All who wander are not lost


"All who wander are not lost"

Early this spring a trip to see the new grand baby in Arizona was a good excuse to drag along my vintage trailer.  We spent a few days at Cedar Pockets on the Arizona strip.

Living in the arid southwest, I think cactus flowers are some of the most beautiful.


Simple meals of toasted olive bread, avacaho, fresh mozerella cheese, drizzled with olive oil, and sunburst tomatoes were easy,quick, staple meals during our travels.  The ingredients keep well in a cooler.

Loved this book when I was a kid.  I will have to read it again this winter after the gardens are harvested.
Have you been anywhere exciting or adventurous this summer?
