gone camping …

Not really … but anyone who looks at my Pinterest boards knows I have a thing for campers.  I don’t do camping, but I am head over heels for those old, retro campers.  I don’t want to necessarily take it anywhere but my own back yard, but I love them.  Love.  So when my husband was going through some boxes in the garage, and found this little treasure from when he was a small boy, he gave it to me.

It’s an old Corgi toy, a camper.  Isn’t it precious?

The door opens, and you can’t really tell from the photo, but there is a little kitchen, and a table in the back with a plant on it and some chairs.

And my favorite part?  The awning really works!  Love!!

Depending on my mood, it is either on or in my desk at home.  Don’t you love boys who share their toys?

Best,
Stephanie

  4. That little camper is just too cute. So small with perfect details of a big one. I can see why you both want to have it.

  6. Stephanie, this is so cute! Our friends just returned from wintering in South Padre. They are there or AZ every winter, in their fifth wheel and absolutely love it.

  7. Oh Stephanie, you should have been at my place over the weekend. We live near a racecourse/convention center and it was the Volkswagon Show weekend. Everyone from wide and far comes along in their VW camper vans...old and new. It had traffic stopped for two days. You would have loved it!

  8. Oh. My. Gosh! How CUTE is that?!?! I didn't know that you "love" camping (er...well...the idea of it...). I actually love the real deal but I'll tell you, it's a LOT of work to get ready for, and lots of clean up afterwards...not all it's cut out to be. But once you're there, in the mountains or just out in nature it's AWESOME.

    Anyway, back to that adorable camper toy - lucky you to have a boy in your life who shares his toys with you. :o) The photos are adorable! xo
