Road Trippin’ For Treasures

I have been looking all over for a vintage travel trailer. I’m sure some of you dream of a Prevost with granite counter tops and a king size bed, but not me…I’m looking for sometime a little more hip and funky than that. Something that I can make my own little travelin’ gypsy wagon. I can just picture myself settin’ off for parts unknown in search of good ol’ junk, with my happy little home away from home in tow. Here is what I’m talkin’ about…

They call her Buttercup. How cute is that? Pretty darn cute in my opinion!

But this one has a really cool matching truck….

and the Cowgirl Caravan…oh how I aspire to own one just like this…

The log cabin on wheels is truly retrofabulicious (yes, I just made that up)

and then…there is the SPARTAN in all of its shiny glory. It has the coolest curved windows in the front.

and the GLIDER…OMG!!!

Anyway…I’m on a mission. I want to travel to antique shows with all my High Falootin’ Junk and I will need a place to hang my hat and kick off my boots while road trippin’.

Wish me luck on my hunt.

Ready to play Cowboys & Indians {new loot}

Vintage Western Toy Display by High Falootin’ @ the Tavares Antique Mall

Remember the days when kids played outside? I know it is hard for kids these days to image surviving without a computer, video games or a smart phone, but we had fun playing with simple toys that required imagination. So here is my tribute to old school toys and by old, I mean REALLY old school.

 

Good Ol' Toys

Roy Rogers Camera & Breyer Horses

Vanity Fair Record Player- Ohio Art Litho Tin Playset - Puncy Pony Pull Toy
Kilgore Private Eye Cap Gun

Y’all make sure to stop on by the Tavares Antique Mall and see all of the really cool antiques and other good junk!

If you see something you like and are not in the Central Florida area then please email me at highfalootinjunk.com for more info. Most items can be payed for via paypal and shipped the same day.

Oh blogger/designer/crafter superwoman…how do you do it all???

How do all of you blogger/designer/crafter super women do ALL that you do? When do you find the time to do all of your miraculous designs and then have the time to write witty little blogs about it? How do you home school your 3.5 children, all while running a ranch and being a super wife at the same time. You write cookbooks and host parties. You comment on 50 other blogs just like yours every day. You do craft shows and indie fairs. You capture amazing professional photos of everything you do. Do you live in a super world with more hours in it than mine? I’m just saying…Do you have a behind the scene assistant that keeps you on schedule?  And do you have Super Man that can keep up with you? I mean really?  You ladies have it together and I am glad you share all that you do and give us scatterbrained, unorganized, not getting through our “to do” list women something to strive toward.

Here are some links to the Super Blogger Women that I follow…

The Nester

Pure and Lovely

The Pioneer Women

Margo’s Junkin Journal

The Farmer’s Trophy Wife

Miss Mustard Seed

Enjoy and be High Falootin’ today!
