i have been getting a lot of sweet comments and emails asking matthew and i how our scarlet & cream dream is coming along...i thought i would share quick update :)
early last week i received a phone call from the people who were going to complete our vintage camper restoration...due to unfortunate circumstances, they let me know that they would be unable to complete the restoration and were willing and ready to send us a full refund. my heart was absolutely crushed...how would we ever find another vintage camper (that was affordable) ready to be up and running by spring?
after a few minutes of feeling sorry for myself i got myself pulled together and thought to ask them...do you have any campers that are already complete? although a finished camper would not necessarily be exactly the way we wanted...i was open to anything. after a few phone calls and photo exchanges, they ended up having just what we wanted...
meet our new scarlet - a 1959 platte, aluminum sided camper. all we need to do is polish her up a little bit, add our graphic wraps (yay for our pretty pin up girl - more design details coming soon!) and swap out the linens on the interior. originally matthew and i always wanted a shiny silver camper, but they were hard to come by...i guess sometimes things happen for a reason :)
OH and as for that pretty photo up top - i'm keeping that idea in my back pocket...NO we don't plan on operating a ferris wheel (although how amazing would that be?), but if we ever decide to have a brick and mortar scarlet & cream dessert diner (drive though style), this is exactly how i want it to look...isn't it dreamy? :) XO
it is dreamy! cute blog!
