Vinyl Record Bowl... !

What better to act as a fruit bowl in a 1970 caravan than a 1970's vinyl record made into a bowl !! Courtesy of Recycling in Bristol from ebay.. bargain as well £3.50 !!

Drinks Cabinet! Pewter cups perfect for Jager bombs!!

This is our 1970's drinks cabinet that is in the van at the end !! Don't you just love it!!
It is filled with the full original pewter cups. A wine size and a small schnapps size (I would imagine being a German van!). We have found they are bloomin perfect for Jager Bombs!! Redbull in the big cup, jager in the small, drop the small one in and the cup sticks to the bottom of the big cup!! Down the hatch... !! Cheers!
Just like the original brochure !

Fashioning a caravan cushion!

I had a blue peter moment at around 10pm one night and decided to create a cushion based on our caravan so cut out all the pieces, used iron on webbing stuff then went round it with a sewing machine. Found a couple of buttons for the wheels... presto !!
Only trouble is it is now if you could see it has a slight blue tinge cos I washed it with the blue blanket.. doh !!

Retro Accessories

Just a blog of general bits and bobs around the van and outside too !!

Retro Tupperware Light!

When we go the van unfortunately the bits beneath the lamps were broken and falling off! So Nick had this genius idea of drilling some retro 1970 orange tupperware beakers to fashion the new base. Funky and practical x
