Yup, it was only a matter of time. First it was collecting the 50's stuff from antique stores and thrift stores to "decorate" the trailer with. Then having me make an "easel" shaped coffee table for our outside patio area when parked at vintage trailer rallies (as in..."all the other trailers have full patios furnished with year-appropriate stuff, so we are going to do it too") That is only the FIRST item of many needed for the patio "decor" (you can see where this is heading). Then, I hear her in there sewing up 50's outfits. I put my foot down though. I WILL NOT, I repeat WILL NOT be caught dead wearing suit slacks, a white button shirt and skinny tie and 50's hat to these things (remind you of your grand dad?) I guess because the trailer was already complete inside, with the upholstery and curtains all original, she was feeling a little cheated on doing up the inside in a big way.
By the way, the awning we ordered from Vintage Trailer Supply, (my new best friend), fit great, looks great and other than being way more than I had hoped to invest in such a thing (how about one lousy umbrella and call it good?) will look nice and packs up small enough to fit in the hatch under the beds.
So folks, if you see me wandering around the next rally, dressed like your dad or granddad, just offer me a really stiff martini.
