We're heading to the Airstream factory!

Yes, it's true.  It's  finally going to happen, I am going to the Airstream factory for once and for all!   I'm going to be participating in Alumapalooza, a week long event put on my Rich Luhr and Brett Greiveldinger of Airstream Life magazine.  They've invited me to show and sell my silver trailer jewelry as well as give a seminar on interior design. I am so so so very excited!After traveling 10,000 miles last summer, tugging my Airstream with my somewhat moody 1969 GMC pickup (I still love you, Chestnut girl), I think I'll be traveling a bit lighter this time around. 

 I'll be loading up my Mini Cooper Clubman, and of course Osa doggie.   Osa girl takes up the entire back seat (rear seats folded down), so packing minimal is the name of the game! Okay, I may cheat and get one of those Thule cargo boxes on the top to hold Osa's food and dog bed!

Seriously, if you're at all interested in Airstreams, own an Airstream, are obsessed with Airstreams, like some people we know, you have GOT to attend this event! There will be tours of the factory (yes please), seminars galore, happy hours, raffles, you name it, you got it. I can't wait.

Before I left on my road trip this summer, I ordered my very first new car (gasp, not vintage?!). A Mini Cooper Clubman stole my heart. My lil' Mini arrived and waited in our garage while I was on my east coast adventure. Of course I'm still pledging my love to Chestnut, my 1969 GMC pickup, but after two months together lugging around a 4,000 pound trailer, we need a little time apart. Chestnut is enjoying being a local, doing her regular trips to the dump and being a "work truck" again. My lil' Mini and I are doing some serious bonding in the meantime. (If only the Clubman / Fritz Hansen combo was reality & not a concept, my dreams would be answered!) Soooo... new car and Osa doggie. Hmmmmm. I did a little online search and I found Pooch Style. Juliana, the owner of Pooch Style is fantastic. She's a great business woman and online friend. I ordered a custom mat so Osa could hang in my Clubman, and is it so beautifully made, I love it. Osa loves it. Next I'm going to order a backseat mat, and maybe a little boat bed to go with the Beebo trailer theme! Juliana also has mats for BMW's, PT Cruisers, leashes, coats, beds & lot more.
