my mister has been super busy taste testing some soda's that we plan to offer out of miss scarlet (haven't read about our scarlet & cream dream? click here!). i am not a fan of carbonation, so i have to leave the job to him :) when you throw in some ice cream...then i'm a fan!
we have been super busy these last few weeks getting everything organized for our upcoming spring opening - i know it's several months away, but once the holidays come and go it will be here in no time! matthew had all of last week off so we stopped at a few places - the health department, to find out about all the necessary permits and code requirements we have to meet, the city clerk, the graphic wraps business in town and a sound system audio place as well. on top of that we made several phone calls, looked around on the internet for some ideas, etc. etc. really the list is never ending so how about i stop now before i bore you to death :)
BUT before i stop too soon...i have to introduce you to miss scarlet!!! last time i shared our dream job with you, we didn't even have our camper picked out yet. drum roll please...
she needs some love, but the fine folks of fine design campers in kentucky are looking forward to the challenge. they are a group of volunteers that specialize in refurbishing vintage trailers! soon she will have a shiny new paint job, some wings and a fabulous new interior.
i can't wait to share her progress with you...i can hardly wait for opening day :) XO, lindsay
P.S. Do you have a favorite bottled soda? please do share!! also...we love new ideas and would love to hear your thoughts on what types of snacks/foods we should offer out of this pretty girl!!
I am so excited for you! You are both moving along really well :) I can't wait to see it all finished!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog, but Wow! This may be the best idea ever! Good luck and I can't wait to see all the progress on Ms. Scarlet!

You guys are so daring, I'm really jealous! My sons, who live in Newport Beach were looking into something similar out here. I think they wanted to call it The Gringo Burrito...or something. There are little clatches of gourmet traveling food trailers in Orange County. Good luck to you both.
ReplyDeletehow exciting - i'm thrilled for you and the hubs! favorite soda would be sprecher's cream soda.. omg its the best. they brew it in a keg with caramel.. yikes! makes me want one now..
ReplyDeletecant wait to see more with scarlett
look at that cute little camper! can't wait to see her all done up! congrats!
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo cool! What an amazing thing: following your dreams with the man you love! I can't wait to watch it all unfold!
ReplyDeleteI lovee the rootbeer.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to hear more! :)
purple cane road out of omaha makes some fantastic root beer. their root beer comes in big wine bottles, so i'm not sure if that is quite what you're looking for. good luck to you guys!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that this is becoming a reality!
ReplyDeleteI like pretty much all sodas, except for the fruit-based ones (e.g. Fanta) and maybe Mountain Dew. Root beer, Dr. Pepper, Diet Dr. Pepper, Diets Pepsi and Coke, and Vanilla Coke are my absolute faves!
WOWIE, congrats!!! HOW exciting, what an example of a DREAM coming TRUE and to fruition, yay! It's beautiful and will keep getting more beautiful! I admire this so much! I can't wait to be a part of this journey with you....
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the movie Skin? Sandra opened up a Tuckshop in South Africa, the movie is a true story, anyway this camper you have and your dream reminds me of her little shop!
I'll be thinkin on soda's too!
I'm so happy for you! :) I can't wait to see what the volunteers do, I'm sure it'll be great!
ReplyDelete<3 <3 <3 LOVE me some Old-Style Rootbeer!!! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting! That camper is so adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteso jealous of the trailer! it's love lovely :)
ReplyDeleteTasting soda sounds like so much fun! Unfortunately, I'm addicted to Coke :(.
ReplyDeleteHope you're making cool plans for the weekend! ;D
Miki.
Fun fact about me: I am a huge fan of carbonation, but not really of super sugary drinks. You can find me drinking a freakin' club soda more often than a cola.
ReplyDeleteOkay maybe that was a boring fact.
You should totally do cake-pops... You know where to find a book of all sorts of designs! Oh, and cupcakes! You know who makes a yummy red velvet cupcake with orange-cream cheese frosting... :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you and Matt. Can't wait!!!
I can't drink soda :( But I love the camper! Too cute, congrats to you both!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting the camper! That's so exciting :) I can't wait to see it after it get's a spruced up.
ReplyDeleteThere's a soda company out of Seattle called DRY soda, that has really great soda that's dry (of course...) & not very sweet so it pairs really well with sweet treats. There's fun flavors too like lavender and rhubarb and lemongrass! Hope that's helpful :) I'm excited to hear more as you guys get closer to opening!
