CANNED HAM SWEETIE ALL DRESSED UP!

Hello my friends!  I am bringing you pics of "Sweetie" AKA "Sweet Sue" on her first maiden voyage to the Burlington Mkt. Show in Burlington, Ky.
Unfortunately, this is the ONLY outside pic I got of her........I hadn't finished the inside or removed my bags, etc. before I was SLAMMED with visitors!!  But that's a GOOD thing!



                                      Here are a few pics from the inside.........
I plan on painting the floor in the weeks to come.........the weather needs to cool off some first!


                     



I found this simple "chandy" at  Goodwill for 29cents!  Yes, I said 29cents! (It works too)  I spray painted it with some white paint and the rest is history.   Funny thing is, I found it two weeks before I bought my camper.....It was meant to be!


Isn't this word "flirt" cute!!  I purchased this at one of my favorite places "BUTTER STREET BARN".  I bought those sweet vintage hankies there also.....I hung them over the lace at the window.  I may tweek them more later but this was something FUN and EASY



I love my vintage flamingo metal hamper......it's very unique, all original and made tall and narrow.  I am using it in my camper for a trash bin.  It's perfect!
Anyone remember their Mother or Grandmother wearing these knit hats with their hair pulled up in them??  I do......I would see women have these on at the grocery stores etc. usually when they had bobby pins in their hair or they were having a "bad" hair day!  As a young girl, I would think they were "funny" but I think they're so adorable now!!  I actually saw an older woman the other day in one!



I wish I took more pics before some of the items sold.  I had a white rotary desk phone (early 70's) was too cute!  Should have kept it...........

I have a funny story........on the way home from Burlington, traffic was very heavy.  Of course, me being a woman, I have to remind my hubby to take it easy on the road with this camper (he's a truck driver-if you're married to a truck driver you'll know what I'm talking about)
I'm thinking to myself, he seems to be goin' a little fast with this camper...(but I keep my mouth shut) Bumpin' here, bumpin' there......keepin' me an eye out....lookin' in the side mirror...........then OH MY!!...PULL OVER....I yell (SCREAM)
I wish I could have taken a pic...............the door to the camper came open (I believe we were going about 65) and there were my vintage scarves hanging out the door....flyin' in the wind, still attached to the vintage metal stand holding on for dear life. (this stand is about 5 ft tall)  My flamingo can was also in the doorway getting ready to make his jump!  But thank goodness, nothing was lost, or an accident didn't occur (Thank you, LORD)  And the best thing is....I still kept my mouth shut!
Blessings and a wonderful week~~~Roxie

  4. I love your little "sweetie" it is just so, ......SWEET!!! Oh yes, I do know what it is like to be married to a truck driver. My husband was not only a truck driver, but a race car driver in the early years of our marrige.....so he does like to go FAST!!!
    Have a great day....oh and I like your floors in Sweet Sue. Parkay flooring is nice, not unless it is just tiles or something. But it sets things off nice in there.

  5. The camper looks fab both inside and out - congrats on a job well done.

    Glad to hear you spotted the door flying open in the slip-stream, and before your stock took a leap into the abyss haha.

    P.S. I like the flamingo hamper tin! This weekend I spotted a 1950s Coca-Cola metal cool-box; it was in pretty good condition but the dealer wanted 200 euros at first, and then I must have pulled a face as it was 150 twenty seconds later! It was still too much for me to make any money on it though......

  8. Dear Roxie - what a sweetie this is...I love it. You have done wonders with her since you first got her. Wonder what color you are going to paint the floor? You made me laugh about hubby's driving. God is good that you didn't lose anything. Bet husband was a bit embarrassed. I think maybe he should leave the driving to you. Glad you were able to keep quiet.

  14. Roxie...she looks great!! So glad that you didn't lose anything on the way home and that there was no accident either. I know what you mean... My dad and father-in-law were both truck drivers, but both are retired now. However, once a truck driver...always a truck driver. LOL...
    hugs,

  26. Hi Roxie, it sounds like you had quite the adventure. I know actually what you are talking about being married to a truck driver. My Steve drove truck for over thirty years, before his promotion. But, once a truck driver always a truck driver. I've learned to keep my mouth shut, too, and then there have been times when I didn't and wished I had. That makes Steve sound like a big meany . . . not at all . . . he's a sweetie, but he doesn't appreciate driving advice, LOL.
    I'm delighted that you are having so much fun with Sweet Sue, and that chandelier was an unbelievably bargain. Like you said, it was meant to be.
    Stay happy, your blogging sister, Connie :)
