Vintage Camping

My Husband and I want to take a road trip to Yosemite this Summer. We are going to rent an R.V. and go at it the old school way. (think Lucy and Desi in The Long, Long Trailer).
This site is awesome for camper restoration:

Look What I Found!


How retro is this Ice Crusher? I found it at the darling Forget-Me-Not in CDA... so cute in my kitchen!

The Girls Want A Fairy Room.


Due to the recent Tinkerbell saturated toy market, my two girls are obsessed with fairies. They want a fairy themed room. Which at first i wasn't crazy about, I hate Disney themed rooms. So I made them on offer of an Enchanted Forest room that included fairies. Its a hit! I painted the room a lilac color, which looked great with there little rose garden bed sheets and blankets. I found all kinds of rose prints, and some vintage fairy prints, like the one above. I also scored two adorable elf/fairy porcelain dolls at TJ Maxx along with a hydrengea May Day basket I filled with roses. Its coming along quite nicely. I am wrapping some larger bulb twinkle lights in purple tulle for along the ceiling, and I found some great purple rose wall appliques I will be dealing with today. The result..and enchanted forest room the kids love, and I can live with!

I need one of these!


How incredibly cute is this? I saw it in person at the Coeur D' Alene MaryJanes Farm store. I might even go camping if I had this! Wouldn't you! The rest of the info on it is at this link!


The joys of Vinegar!


Well, being pregnant makes a woman wacko. Wacko enough to crave the smell of vinegar! So, I have been using plain old white vinegar to clean everything! Counters, sinks, floors windows..you name it, I've cleaned it with vinegar this week! It makes my floors so incredibly shiny! I also discovered adding it to my was to brighten colors..it works!

Muffins


I have a new muffin obsession. I think the family is getting a little weirded out by all the muffins I am making...but..they are delicious! My favorites so far are the Lemon Apple I made. I found I also like them better made with soy milk rather than cows milk..makes them a little fluffier, and my lactose intolerant toddler can eat them that way too!
