has it potiental

I have found this little caravan...
It happens to be close to home...
and the right price...
and even the length...12ft
it has very cute windows in the back,
and looked after inside...
but the colour is so not me...
now the dilemma is...is it fixable...
can I make it vintage cute...
or will it never look vintage cute...
I really had more of a silver bubble idea in mind...
and I said to my husband...well I'll just re-spray it...
well of course that was meet with a...are you kidding!!!
it's powder coated...
and of course that was meet with me saying...so!!!

So dear readers...
is it workable or not...
should I look some more...
or try and work with it...
the thing is, to find a small caravan these days is so hard...
They really don't come along very often...
oh...I just don't know...
why oh why do they not have airstream's on every corner
like in America...
sorry read readers for the ramble...
but sometimes it just helps to get the
opinion of creative people like yourselves...

I spied an amazing etsy find over on Betty Jo's blog
and could not resist a look...

Crocheted tea set mark 100

Yeah I think I have finished...
Well maybe!!!
I have rounded the base on this one...
and put a different handle on it...
and put a lip around the base...
and well just changed it several times...
but ha! isn't that what being creative is all about...
Now how hard can a tea pot be?
It should only take me about 200 goes...lol...

Hand painted

This is a beautiful tea set
that we have...
It was my husbands mothers..
and it is hand painted egg shell china...
It amazes me that it has survived 4 moves and still
is in one piece...
There are 6 cups and saucers and side plates
in total...
and i have no idea of when it was made
or anything about it...
I really need to research it...
It's a shame I have to have it up in a cupboard
and not appreciate it like it needs to be...
But I would be really upset if anything happened to it...
I really like to enjoy all my vintage crockery
and use it all whenever I can...
but sometimes there are exceptions...
