Guess what I got

What is ten feet long,  has two wheels and a pair of wings?

This does!  Ta da…..

Somehow I found and bought the most darling little trailer.  I’ll sell with at my markets in California.    It all happened so fast.  I had no idea last Thursday morning that I’d be the owner of a vintage trailer by the time it struck midnight.  I had even gone to rent a u haul cargo trailer at the end of the day for the upcoming Alameda market.  I was even excited about towing that to market.   But something got me looking on Craigslist and suddenly there were some sweet trailers in there needing a new home (this after months of nada).   One phone call lead to a few email exchanges and I was off to beat the competition  in a couple hours.

A 1964 Shasta is what I got.  Since I got her (or him, not sure yet), I’ve learned to hitch, tow and even back it into a space (though I’m still on the left end of a learning curve on this last one).  It’s a fixer upper on the inside and I’m happy to be in charge of that.

Here’s my darling’s début market.  It’s hard to shoot a market stall where it looks nice, but believe me it was a pretty homey feel despite this image which makes it look jumbly.

Anyway, I’m blessed to have this and loving it lots.  Hoping I get into the Sacramento Antiques Faire Sunday to set up again.  Apparently there’s a waiting list.   Fingers are crossed!

I’m learning that lots of people I know are into or have a vintage trailer.  Let me know if you own or want to own one.  I’ll be posting on the progress of the makeover as I go.  Would love some advice!
