The Miss Emily Kae is Home!!!

Yesterday, Miss Emily Kae came home to roost!  My new vintage 1968 Manorette trailer is now sitting outside by my gardens where I can see her from my computer.

My son and daughter in law bringing her home!!!
 
This is what I see when I'm at my computer!
 
Nestled in by my raised gardens... 
 

My trailer-warming gift from my friend, Judy!
 


A few things going out to the trailer
 after I get it cleaned up!
 
I have my little four cup coffee pot ready.  I'm looking for a small toaster oven and microwave.  I have a couple of shelves that need to be painted red, a small aqua corner cabinet and a red magazine rack. 
 
Pretty soon she will be so filled up that I won't be able to move it out of the yard...I am trying to limit my decorating items!!!
 
Take care - I'll be updating "Miss Em" soon!

Vintage Camper Love...

Today we finally got to go see the little vintage 1968 Manorette camper made in Chilton, WI, that my friend's son has for sale!  It's 16' long and I'm in love.  It's all wood interior - usually birch I guess.  The wood needs some repair but on the way home we discussed how to keep it intact and restore it.


I see the stainless steel stripe changing to red.
 


Curtains and cover on cushion
probably aqua/old green and red something.
 


Jadeite and red transferware belong here somewhere.
 

 
Microwave on the end of the counter. 
Going to contact paper the oven that doesn't work
with old green and white checks.


Now I know the restorer, my friend,
loves this Route 66 motif, but its not me at all. 
So I'm thinking 40's tablecloth and curtains to match.

 
The cushions are sage green
and that will be perfect with my red stuff.

So I'm still dreaming but as soon as I can find someone (Bob?) to haul it home - its probably going to be mine.  It will serve as a writers nook, guest cottage and grandkids hideaway!!!  Oh ya - and my own Margaritavilla to share with my friends!
Take care,

Bonnie
