THE WEE CAMPER
This is my little camper that could. She is 60 years old according to the build certificate in the closet which confirms she rolled off the line as a '54 model in December 1953.

VINTAGE CANISTER MAKEOVER
If you are into vintage retro items like I am, then you know that simple things like a canister set from the 1950s can be quite pricey! The aqua set below just recently listed on eBay.

Not in my budget! I want an aqua canister set, preferably one with the "atomic" designs that were so popular in the 50's and 60's for my wee vintage canned ham camper. Since I couldn't find (or afford) exactly what I wanted, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
This 3-piece avocado green canister set was priced at a little less than $3 (with my little old lady discount) at Goodwill.
It was the right price, but not the right color or design. But I had an idea because my thinking cap was on. I had been thinking... This is where my hubba-hubba-hubby usually says, "Uh-oh". Yes, I had been thinking about how this green set could be re-born in aqua!
