MAGIC COTTAGE CAMPGROUND FILLING FAST!

Greetings, dear reader!

Today's mail brought these adorable vintage teardrop campers from Samantha Miranda...behold their compact cuteness!

Look at these adorable colors and images! And the teatowel she sent me...just because! It's practically new! Beautiful!

 And here are some of the pictures from our travels on Route 66. We found this wonderful drive in...sadly, abandoned and destined to become one more of the forgotten relics of Route 66. It's a shame, because the place was the absolute definition of the 1950s era of the Mother Road...great attention paid to details...




This little diner was up and running...although there were only 2 cars in the parking lot. Cracker Barrel's lot was filled to overflowing...am I the ONLY ONE who would prefer a unique bit of Americana rather than a cookie cutter franchise restaurant?

The glory of Route 66 is the wonderful little treasures tucked in out of the way places...like this motel in Cuba, MO:


I SWEAR I could hear the theme song from Mayberry RFD playing in the background! THEN, we had lunch at this charming place:

Webster the Wonder Dog enjoyed the outside dining facilities...the prices were great, the service was fast and friendly, and the food was fantastic! OUR KIND OF PLACE!

Well, I must go play hostess to all the happy camper Camporee tag folks...they can be a rowdy bunch if left unattended?

I'll be back soon with pictures of the newly painted canned ham, more Route 66 travels, and craft projects galore!

Your Friendly Campground Host,

VINTAGE, SAILING SHIPS, AND LIGHTHOUSES...

Greetings, dear reader!

I am here once again with more vintage goodness...my oh my it seems EVERYWHERE is a great place to find vintage loot...that is, every where but HERE in Southern Illinois. Treasures a plenty I tell you...from the quaint little town of South Haven, Michigan...


Vintage Restaurant Signs and campers!
And a gorgeous riverfront with a lighthouse and pier!
And Clementine's...a wonderful turn-of-the-century restaurant. Fab food...fab ambience!
