Well here is our new hobby! The redo of a 67 Shasta Compact. It isnt a restoration but rather our vision of what we would have wanted back in the day. It gives my yard sale/thrift store/flea marketing a purpose too!

This is just a way for everyone to keep up with what we are doing with it.

The kids are so excited and already driving me nuts to get it done so they can camp out in it. I think this is going to be a blast for all of us.

So stay tuned I will be updating as I go along and you never know what we might do to it!

BTW.....thrift store and closet shopping

While hitting a couple thrift stores today I also found an old condiment bottle holder its made or chrome and fits around the bottles I havent seen one in ages cost $.25 I also hot up my bookshelf and found about a dozen old Agatha Christie mysteries for me to reread when we go camping and they all fit in with the theme best of all they were free!

I also dug out my box of vintage postcards and pulled a few from different places I plan to get a corkboard or something similar to hang old brochures and post cards on. I also can across a box of old old thermos bottles we picked up last year from the auction I think we paid $3 for lot I think at least a few can go in the camper.

My oldest also contributed an OLD tackle box he picked up a while back at the flea market. He also contributed some tackle (I have no idea what though!) and it goes well with the older style fishing poles a neighbor put out for trash day a while back

So even with the stuff from Saturday here is our total spent:
flea market finds $ 5.00
thrift store (and old auctions) $3.25

Grand total of $8.25
