The pretty things

July 17, 2015 2 Comments

8 July

IMG_3298At ReStore in Hastings, I find two plastic wine glasses with rainbow decoration, two melamine cups, a vintage olive oil tin, and a water jug. All for $13.

I feel like my 8 year old self, the year Dad made me a doll’s house at night school. He also made small wooden couches and benches and beds, and I searched the only toy shop in Waimate for minute plates and cups, buying one item a week from my pocket money.

9 July

My Wellington daughter pronounced Moore Wilsons to be the place for purchasing the best plastic ware- so we bought two red plates, two polka dot plates, two starry cups and two red bowls. $49 this time.

I am colour matching from memory, as I have only seen the colours of the caravan once, – red, green and aquamarine, and want to stay in the vintage mode. The crockery rattles around as we drive away from Wellington. At least it won’t break.

    Woooooo, she’s looking soooooo good already – no naming ceremony yet? She reminds me of my Nellie…. a german VW Westphalia, golden yellow, campervan that I sold to fund my Aotearoan adventures…. well done you two! You are inspirational, making it happen women… I’m already looking forward to being a vicarious caravan owner! Love Suz xx

    Looking good – some road trips to come! So glad it is all coming together and it looks really cool. So many of them are fitted out with brown!
