Wheels and Deals

                             

Last weekend we hooked up the trailer
and drove an hour plus away to the peninsula on the St. John.
Part of a club which allows dry camping on specific places of business,
we chose Gillis of Belisle Vineyard.

The days were unseasonably warm so we did not
need the propane heater.
We walked a marsh trail with little Lucy dog,
sipped wine under the stars,
and I hooked on the stone patio while hubby caught up on 
office work.
The vineyard logo is taken from the painted quilt
at the side of the barn.
As the limit is one night's stay, we slept in
and slowly decamped to the calls of birds and bullfrogs!
My two awesome scores this weekend included
this little cross-stitch piece I put in the trailer.
Cost a whopping quarter. So sad, really.
But it has an excellent home now.
And this dry sink:


Cost? 
$30.
It will take elbow grease to strip it down to the wood and wax it 
 and I'd like to change the handles.
Two more house viewings over the weekend 
but no 
feedback yet.
May your week be blessed!

Great scores! Good luck with the house.

That sounds like a nice way to camp, here only walmarts allow camping, but I see more vineyards opening up to this type of camping. Great finds and prices.

Great finds. That dry sink is too sweet.
Fingers crossed for a speedy house sale.

That's what I call a 'working camping vacation". Sounds like you are enjoying this brief hiatus.

All I can say is you scored on both pieces. Great finds! Janice

sounds lovely I thought you were selling your house to go RVing for a length of time. Or are you moving to another house?
Your finds are wonderful it always breaks my heart to find a hand done piece in a thrift store or sale

What a lovely view. Thank you so much for leaving a comment. It is hard selling a house isn't it? I don't mind the getting ready part, but the hardest thing is having people/strangers come through my house. I wish you the best on your new adventure too.
