I have this little dream.

Here in Ontario, owning a vacation home is actually quite commonplace, and not as hoity-toity and well-to-do as it is other places… or at least it was anyway. It’s becoming very dear and expensive these days, with our ever raising real estate.

So, even though my extended family shares a cottage, I dream of having our own little place someday, that’s just ours. Someplace I don’t have to worry about taking from or adding to in any way, or cleaning up when I leave it.

I’d like to buy an shiny old airstream, and refurbish it. I’d kit the thing out adorably. I’d put old quilts and army blankets on the beds. I’d collect pretty old plates and mugs for the kitchen. I’d spread one of my vintage tablecloths on the little table in the eating nook.  I’d build a little deck under a striped awning, and plant geraniums in little window boxes.

Ideally it’d it’d be entirely self-sufficient too (solar power and all that stuff).

Then I’d rent a far corner of a farmers field (preferably next to some kind of body of water – a little creek would do nicely) and park it there.

It would be so lovely.

There’s more examples of lovely little vintage trailers on poppytalk and love forever.
