                                                                   She is officially mine!
As of today, this little "SWEETIE" is mine!  A rare FLEETWING "WREN"!!  A true canned-ham!
It falls between a 1968-1970.
Fleetwing travel trailers manufactured the "WREN" - a 10 ft. body.  The "CHICKADEE -is the next size,  and the largest of the 3  is the "THRUSH".  They named their travel trailers after birds!  Too Sweet!

I've been looking at different colors and patterns of vintage trailers.  I LOVE this!  This is one of my favorites!  I do think the SCALLOPED look is so unique and pretty......but hubby is wanting me to go a little less "girly"!!  WHAT??!!
So he is showing me pics that he likes..........So I'm sure there will be compromise.  Besides, he is the one doing most of the work......I want him to have some say..............Lord, help me...........

So over the next weeks, I will be doing my best to get pictures to show you some of the renovations and decorating.  My head is spinning with excitement trying to decide what colors (inside and out) style, and challenging myself to stay on a "strict" budget!!  I will be seeing what I already have and can use in this decor rehab!
I'm not sure how long this will take....(I'm a little slow) but I look forward keeping you informed!  Blessings and a wonderful week~~~Roxie
P.S.  I'm still considering names but I will be posting something funny that happened at the license bureau today very soon!

  13. Hi Roxie, I am so happy that you finally have this little gem in your name. Now, let the fun begin . . . and I'm sure it will be a sweet labor of love. I am truly looking forward to your future posts and getting to see her go from "Plain Jane" to "Fancy Nancy" :) That is "Fancy Nancy" with a little bit of "Manly Matthew" thrown into the mix.
    Oh, I love all the positive signage, too. Wonderful quotes to live by:)
    Have a lovely weekend.
    Your blogging sister, Connie :)
