My camper

I am finally getting around to posting pictures

of my little camper.

I named her Lisa Patricia Layton.

She is a 1964 Layton.

The top 2 names in 1964 were Lisa and Patricia,

hence her name.

She is never leaving the yard. 

She is just a playhouse of sorts

for my own enjoyment.

She is pretty sweet for $150.
I got a good deal.

I did the bare minimum to her.

A little paint and a lot of scrubbing.

I wanted to retain her "vintage bones".

The original ticking mattress was super cute, 

but too mousey to save.

I have a twin air mattress there  now.

As soon as someone in the family

is pitching a double mattress, 

I am begging for their castoff.

 

The bread box was in it.

I think it is cute.

I also love the turquoise wheel well.

 

 The turquoise thing above the curtains is a cot 

made out of canvas that rolls across and hooks 

for a twin bed.

The table becomes a bed too.

Aubrie made me some origami cats to decorate with.

Annie made the curtains out of some fabric I bought.

Everything else  I already had in tubs in storage.

I told you, I am a collector.

When I closed my shop I kept some things I still loved.

Thank God for barns.

The north side of the back yard looks like this.

 The little table is a checkers table 

from the front of a store

where old men used to play.

It has the name Jane scratched in it.

I knew it had to be mine.

 

 Fire pit and seating .

 

The kids have a sand pile on the side of the playhouse

where the little chairs are .

 I want it to eventually feel like a campground.

I have to under plant some yews.

We have some tree trimming to do first.

Too much rain and farming seem to interfere.

Dern bills, I guess farming and baling

will have to take precedence

over my landscaping plans.

 I will post the playhouse soon.

Uploading pictures takes sooo long.

I have a busy weekend and an adventure on 

Sunday to Tuesday.

I am uber excited about it!

Have a great weekend.

Camp Town Lady

 I promised pictures.

I replaced my camera tonight

and she is charging.

This picture is from my phone today.

She is pretty sweet.

She is a 1964 Layton.

I googled top names in 1964.

She is named Lisa Patricia Layton.

I am setting off a bug bomb 

first thing in the morning.

I don't want any surprises 

when I am cleaning her.

I am thinking she is getting

a new coat of pink paint.

She needs to match her sister.

  

You can see I have a lot of 

planting and rock moving to do also.

I have a busy week

keeping grandkids a couple of days,

helping a friend with a wedding,

re-doing a room 

with Annie for a client,

and hosting

an anniversary party on Sunday,

so I don't expect much progress 

to be made on either of these girls.

But next week 

it's on like Donkey Kong.

I need a name for the playhouse.

Any suggestions??

I got nothing.

Pinky Tuscadero?  No.

Remember her?

She annoyed me.

Ponder it, and get back to me.

I am off to practice my Kum bay ya

so I am ready for the campfire

when Lisa Pat is finished.
