Winter for Amelia

A little winter love for Miss Amelia on snowy Valentines Day.






Love you shiny silver lady, your sparkle and shine look spectacular all covered in snow.
Spring is on it's way!

Happy Airstream Holidays!




My friend called me the other day to point out this outdoor lawn blowup. I don't want the blow up since the real deal is sitting in my backyard, but I will say I LOVE the idea of it.

Happy holiday season. Happy airstream!

Fall with Amelia



This evening I was outside raking a few leaves when I caught a glimpse of Amelia in the evening fall light. She looked very peaceful nestled in my driveway, at home in Ohio.

Happy fall, happy airstream, happy me!

Making her Debut




Amelia got all cleaned and dressed up for her coming out/debut Halloween party last weekend. Everyone enjoyed hanging out in her and including her in the festivities. Her tattered couch got covered with a pumpkin tablecloth, her doors and windows lined with sparkly lights (which are staying up for the holidays) her countertops covered with little bowls of candy corn to welcome her new friends.

Her frame work is done, now it's time to get on with the electrical and plumbing work. Then spring will be for the fun cosmetic things like cabinets, light fixtures, and upholstery. Baby steps are fine with me, I've been waiting for this project a long time.

Happy tricks and treats from me & Amelia!

The Welders.

“How is Amelia?” is currently the number one conversation starter as of late. Out of town friends, clients, friends of a friends, parents, sister, you name it, everyone wants to know.

Well everyone, I have GREAT NEWS...Amelia is patiently still hanging out in Westlake with her welding friends, Bill & Eric. She successfully has new rear end framing AND new marine board flooring where the once rotted bathroom floor was. Not only does she have the new frame and flooring, she also has been pretty well cleared out from all the old partitions, rusted fixtures, dry rotted pipes, dangerous electrical and leaking water tanks...how much longer till we decorate? :)



Bill and Eric, assure me the worst part is done. This post goes out to this amazing father and son duo- good friends who without them would have made this project crippling. Bill always puts a a cheery positive spin on the project but keeps trying to get me to save all the old stuff. While Eric and I are enthusiastic about throwing out the old clunky boards in anticipation of the sleek new sailor styling that’s to come!

Thank you Bill for being Amelia's welder, you have fixed her boo boo’s and repaired her with love. Thanks to Eric for introducing me to his Dad and for keeping the project moving along. I am a lucky girl to have such great Cleveland friends. Deepest Thanks.

Meet Walter

As a proud owner, I am part of an underlying "Airstream fraternity." Since "adopting" Amelia, I have been bumping into fellow enthusiasts all over town.

The other night I met these two brothers, Patrick and Walter who are taking their brand spanking new Airstream across the country on their "Million Dollar Road Trip." The trip celebrates entrepreneurship across the country, freedom of the road as well as a symbol of adventure.

Check out their blog and follow them on facebook, they are great fun and fellow lovers of the "silver bullet"

I got to ask Walter what Airstream meant to him....check it out!



GO AIRSTREAM!!!
