Squirrel! Shiny Things! Bathrooms and Edges, Oh My!

There are so many beautiful trailers at the Mt. Baker Vintage Trailer Rally that it's difficult to see all of them.  I went through quite a few but probably not even half of them.  This post is full of "Squirrel!" and "Oooh Shiny!" moments and distractions.

First things first, Shiny, the Flyte Camp Neutron.  It isn't vintage, it is brand new, vintage inspired.  Their workmanship is a whole other level.

 The upholstery is perfect.  I have a whole new appreciation for that since I started upholstery classes.

I have a slight obsession with bathrooms right now as Hubby and I are working on the Curtis Wright 6 and need to choose bathroom materials.  The Neutron's bathroom is shiny, clean and pretty.

 There are a lot of photos in this post showing the finish work of different craftsman.  It's something we are focused on now.  The edges and seams!

 Oooh Shiny!  I loved this vignette.

 Besides bathrooms and edges and seams, we are checking out every one's Marvel fridge.  We have one that needs work in the CW.

 We toured Shelly's new to her Airstream and of all of the pretty in there I have two pictures showing edges and seams.  I was doing my homework.

 Liz joined us in Alohaville this year with The Barcay.  I love tea towels and she had some custom linens that were great.

Squirrel.

Forget about edges and bathrooms for a minute.

 Coordinating prints, now you're speaking my love language!  I also took this photo to help me remember the marine cup holders.  Hubby and I need those by our bed for our glasses.  Reading glasses, not drinking glasses.

 Another pretty bathroom, this one is in Chris and Trina's trailer.

 Chris does beautiful finish work.

 Another marvelous Marvel fridge!

I loved Chris and Trina's trailer, the quality, the design and the craftsmanship.

 Of course, we toured the only Curtis Wright at the show.  Hubby met Chris and Dave and then took them to our house for a Curtis Wright Flagship tour.  They were so helpful and excited.

Squirrel!  Tiger oak is some very pretty wood.

 The Oasis next door had wonderful attention to detail. Jean took this photo of her owners.

 When the lady of the  house trailer is appearing in a different, gorgeous dress three times a day, she needs an iron and ironing board while camping.  It was a wonderful fashion show all weekend.

 I am a little fixated on bathrooms right now and

upholstery details.

 Denise sews new curtains about every other trip, so  I had to run over and check out her window treatments.  She doesn't disappoint.  This is a shot of her kitchen curtains in her corner kitchen that I covet.

 Not everyone is open and welcoming.

 Jeremy and Rene brought their pizza cooker for Saturday evening.  Introducing the PizzaQue, my new best friend.  I ordered one from Amazon on Monday morning.

  I am not endorsing or advertising the PizzaQue.  You're all adults and can make up your own minds without my input.  I have not been paid by PizzaQue nor anyone else since the beginning of this blog.  I repeat, I do not get paid to write this drivel.  Okay, the legalities are out of the way.

I love the PizzaQue and mine will arrive by Monday.

Yesterday I cleaned our Aloha, Huaka'i Annie, put flannel sheets on her bed for winter and put the orange sweater pumpkin as a center piece.  Annie is ready for Fall and so am I.

I also roasted garden goodies and made pizza sauce.  It's in the freezer because I'm getting a PizzaQue!   And I am a tad excited about it...

* Edited to add, I cancelled my Amazon order as the PizzaQue is on sale at Cabela's today.  Free shipping and $40 off.  You know the drill, I am not getting paid by Cabela's either.

Mt. Baker Vintage Trailer Rally 2016

The Mt. Baker Vintage Trailer Rally starts on Tuesday.  We didn't actually go that early but it did start on Tuesday with Jeremy and Rene coming to our house for dinner.  Let the festivities begin!  Hubby and I brought Huaka'i Annie to the fairgrounds on Wednesday night and then enjoyed dinner with Jeremy and Rene and Brian and Melissa.  On Thursday we moved in and stayed.

  Ed and Kathy drove the Edsel up on Thursday.  Steve and Jean arrived by ten on Friday morning.  Alohaville filled in around the pop up tents and tables and we were ready for some fun.

My sister, Jodi and BIL Bill attended their first rally with Chateau Fireball.  Aren't they cute with their matching shirts?

 The '76 Fireball was my folk's and has belonged to two local families.  It is in great condition and Jodi had it glamped for the rally.

 Justin from Flyte Camp was there.  He and his wife Anna have the show Flipping RVs.  A new season starts soon and it will be on the Travel channel this year.  Justin brought his latest design of the Neutron.  A gorgeous trailer with unreal workmanship.

Dale Chihuly visited on Saturday.  I got to meet one of my favorite artists.  Mr. Chihuly and his people were really nice and we had a good visit about trailers, the rally and Lynden.  I didn't ask for a photo of us because I was little star struck and I didn't want to be that person.  I did ask him to remake the T-shirt Hubby has from Collections (the Chihuly restaurant) because it's wearing out and we love the trailers on it.

 In addition to the newbies and the stars my tribe was in town and my local friends showed up too.

On Saturday we had pizza for dinner in Alohaville.

Really guys, I've got this...

 Kassie came to visit.

 Eric and Liz are new friends from Vancouver.  Liz's Aloha is The Barclay.

 Yes, that is a Shasta in Alohaville.  It's Jolene and Len, so it's okay, we need to camp with them.

I love my girlfriends.

After dinner it's time for bowling.

Rita and Denise and their guys set up bowling for the kids on Saturday night and it is a hoot.

 The lovely judges, Kathy, Tricia and Renee.  Accommodations for the judges provided by The Stone House.

 The dance is after bowling but sometimes it gets started during the bowling.

Then it's time for a card game, Pass the Deuce.  Kathy has a cute apron for every occasion.

I'm not sure if the guys were coming up with a game winning strategy or some other form of trouble.

 The king.

 We had a wonderful time this year.  I will post later about the trailers.

ALOHA~

Revolving Doors

Danny was here last week, visiting us from Michigan.  We hiked to Fragrance Lake, which is about 2 miles each way.  Not a long hike but it is 124 flights of stairs on the way up, according to Fitbit.  I was reminded of how out of shape I am and just how much fun I've had this summer.  I may have whined, all the way up.   It was cloudy but beautiful.

We had a good visit and packed in a lot of fun, dinner with Grandma, Overflow with the aunts and uncles and Kulshan with friends including all of the guys and their girls.  Danny's friend, Tannis came for a visit and I feel bad because I didn't get to say good bye.  It's a tad crazy here.

My bumps on a log.

 Danny left on Saturday morning and we did too.  Hubby and I drove to Quincy for a funeral and then back home in one day.  

On Sunday Troy and Becky came from Missouri for a visit.  Except it's not just a visit, it's  prep for moving back to Ltown.  We are so happy that Troy and Becky are moving back to where they belong!

 Next up, our trailer tribe is coming to town.  The Mt. Baker Trailer Rally is at the Lynden Fairgrounds today through Sunday.  There is an open house on Saturday during the day.  Last year there were 207 trailers.  That's a lot of vintage goodness!

During the rally we have some very shady house guests staying at the Stone House.  Hey ladies, your rooms are ready!

Today I am procuring supplies, cleaning Annie, and finishing a secret squirrel project.  And I am getting some things ready for the Swap Meet on Saturday morning.  There is a great swap meet at the fairgrounds on Saturday morning.  See you there!

Go me!
