Girlfriends With Trailers, Ready to Roll (Almost)

My friend Shelley B. doesn't just keep her horse Corky at our place.

She also keeps her 1953 aluminum Aljoa travel trailer here, too. It spends the winter in a covered bay, next to my 1968 Oberlin with built-in fins.

Today, both of these rolling vintage gals with facelifts came out of storage to be rediscovered, cleaned, and packed up for our first mutual campout of the year.

Make that long-awaiting first campout of the year. We've had this outing carved in stone on our calendars since before Christmas.

Destination: somewhere on the Salmon River, roughly between White Bird and Riggins, Idaho.

Weekend home-0n-wheels happiness, here we come.

Pillows for a Magazine Cowgirl

Are these pillows cool or what? They're a focal point in our living room at present.

The images, transferred onto fabric, are from early 20th-century magazine covers. They fit both my penchant for vintage lithography and for all things cowgirl--not to mention that "magazine" and "cowgirl" go together pretty well for me anyway.

Although I have old magazines (yep, got a stash of those too) that these images could have come from, I can't take any credit for the pillows.

They are the work of an eBay seller in Nebraska. And I have been a regular customer!
