Pendants to Celebrate Vintage Travel Trailers and Camping

Camper pendants made from 18 gauge copper sheet metal cut into quarter coin size discs.  A collection of hammers paint the scene with texture for the perfect campsite under a warm summer sun.  I don't know about you but, desire for wanderlust screams right about now especially after our crazy long winter in Pennsylvania.  I cannot wait to set up camp in the trees next to water, hopefully ;), forgetting about it all!

Making jewelry under the trees while chipmunks are scurrying under feet sounds good to me and also not hearing motorcycles, chainsaws and 4 wheelers is a happy thing too.  I can't wait to start our camping season.

Wanted: Vintage Travel Trailer Buddies :)

I am having a very hard time finding vintage travel trailer owners in Pennsylvania.  I bet you are wondering what says you are vintage, well in the vintage camper community it is a pull behind that is 25+ years or older that has been lovingly restored or kept as close to it's original 'new' state as possible.  Some owners of these fabulous pieces of history go to great pains in restoration down to the smallest detail while others refurbish theirs creating themed trailers perhaps a beach cottage, old west wagon, hippy chic or decked out like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Twice we stopped into the RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana the last 2 years which is about halfway between where my daughter is now living and us in Pennsylvania.
One of my favorites is a gorgeous 1954 Yellowstone they have with it's beautiful light birch wood paneling, port hole style windows and it's mid century modern details.

Isn't that a beautiful thing, a vintage travel trailer rally!!! I think Pennsylvania would be a perfect setting here  to have such a gathering, there must be some of you hiding out there.
Contact me, let's get something started.
Here is me below with our 1966 Winnebago 217 1/2-T and we absolutely have fallen in love.  My dh and I both are born in 1966.  Decorating the interior making it a time capsule from that era is a passion and a joy.

all ready for camping last August 2012

enjoy,
