I've been waiting to put this one up for an entire year. I found it among my vintage magazine collection right after Thanksgiving last year and was kicking myself for not finding it in time. But that's okay. The reasoning? The illustrator is listed as Lorraine Fox. Why am I happy about this? Because a reader of my blog got in touch with me earlier this year and told me that they found out that it was Ms. Fox who did the wonderful illustrations for that Better Homes & Garden Decorating Book I mentioned on my blog way back in 2005. The same illustrations that I used for inspiration for that Victory Vintage wall. One big illustrator mystery solved! Big thanks to Ashlee for her eagle eye. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

However, they ended up learning about the world of skoolies on Instagram. After around a year of research and learning how to live a minimalist lifestyle and be more accepting of change, they found a

About this same time each year, I remove the tarp that's been covering Gidget through the Winter, unlock the door, sweep the floor, clean the cabinets and start dreaming of camping adventures. Gidget is our 1956, vintage camper. We purchased her through a craigslist posting and paid $1,700 in cash. Still,
