Meet Roma Vintage

I would love to introduce you all to my latest friend...
Her name is Roma Vintage...
She was a sweet young thing in her prime...
And I still feel she is...
I think she was created in the late 60's so I will say 1968...
Cause I can...Which would make her...
Hmmmmm... The same age as me...That sounds nice!!!


Now I know by now you are all thinking I have gone quiet
Caravan Crazy...

But that is all part of the aging process and I believe it to be
quiet acceptable...

Well for me anyway...

Now of course there is a tad bit of work to be done...
But her "interiors" are quiet alright...
and she even has her own fridge and stove...
Quiet the home maker!!!
Yes I do have those "rose coloured" glasses
still adhered to my face...

If you were wondering...
When we picked her up she was sporting quiet a crop of
overgrown moss on top...

But with a little help from all of us...
Yes My man...
Well me of course...
And even "Oldest and Dearest"...
She will be looking good enough to introduce to Mr Vintage
in no time...

Cross fingers they get along...

Loving The Vintage...

  3. I kinda liked the growth on the top. Those living "green" roofs are all the rage now. How do you manage to look so stylish while putting in the hard yakka?

  4. the best part about getting older is being able to feed all our little obsessions, and not feel like we have to justify it to anyone. Bravo Michelle, I'm sure Mr Vintage and Roma Vintage will become friends for life!

  5. Oh..... how delightful! Thankyou for sharing. We picked up my grandparents caravan in May this year in perfect nick and just waiting for some serious handmade loving..... not sure whether to go the whole shebang and redo/repaint/theme up or to leave her in her 70's state (immaculate) and accentuate her character with granny chic accoutrements... planning is half the fun!
