my view as I looked out from my door
 

Woo Hooo!! Saddle Up 2013

Ahhh... the smell of an open campfire! The sound of crackling wood and cackling women. The taste of great food and the fun of great friends.  This is all a Sister on the Fly gathering at Pigeon Forge, TN to celebrate Saddle Up 2013 a winter event to get folks out and about ready to mix and mingle.  Pearlie-Rose hit the road again and showed off her country-western style with her travel buddy the "Barn Fly". Hope you enjoy the pictures and visit again soon.

Barn Fly in her prom dress with a souvenir from the branding area!

 

We had rainy weather at night but it held off during the day... thankfully.

 

 

Here is one of my favorite chuckwagons... they had a great set up and served some good grub!
 

All the way from Missouri this team came and did a fine job!

One pro and one amateur but both doing a fine job!

Not sure what is in the big pot, but "Barn Fly" is cooking some great venison and egg breakfast casserole....YUM

Here is my insides all fix up for folks to see!

makes ya wanna just come on in and sit a spell.... don't it?

Barn Fly just could not help herself getting on that bull in her prom dress, petticoat and pearls!

I believe that is a mink stole on her too!! Well bet the PBR never had one look like that!!

I will have dinner ready in a jiffy.... ya'll come back now ya hear?!

 

Rain Rain Rain.... snow?

Ok, I am going to need to make sure "pearlie-rose" can float!! We have had a week of rain here in NC and now they are calling for snow! In the meantime I may have to add some things to my wish list like the following:

The wall at Hobby Lobby with all the cool stuff... notice strange lady in the mirror...:)

This is for the celebration of just being who we are!

Pink is not my color but I really like this sign!

And this is on my "wish list" for a new tow vehicle. Wouldn't Pearlie-Rose look so nice behind him.

Great Find

Check the great find purchased at the Auction here in Kernersville, NC

And then I got these lovely gifts from a sister in Greenville, NC

New additions

Our Stone Mtn Ga. Sister Event

Following are pictures of Pearlie at the Stone Mtn Ga. Country Living Fair Sisters on the Fly event Oct. 2012

The fall leaves were beautiful!!

 Our back side. The sites were not very level and we had a bit of trouble getting situated on our spot.

It can be a lot of work BUT it is a lot of fun!

Our Camp Set up

The New Water Pump worked real well!

Yall come back now Ya Hear!!

Pearlie Rose visits District 12

Here is the Pearlie Rose in front of Peta's bakery in District 12 of the Hunger Games!  We only live about 1 hour or so from this location which is Henry River Mills Village, outside of Hickory, NC

A few additions to the paint job

First a friend made a great suggestion for the gray water spout coming from the sink... let me know what ya'll think.

Then since I had the red out, I thought my corgi needed a little color so.......

We will be joining the STOF next weekend at the Country living Fair in Stone Mtn Ga. we are very excited, I hope to post more pictures of the some of the other campers we meet.
until then here is one last pic

Got the stove installed today!!

That's right, now we will be able to cook indoors if we choose! pictures to come soon as we will be camping this weekend in Saluda, NC for the Feast of Tabernacles!

New pictures!!

Finally finished the street side. The hound dog is "Lou" and the Goat is our 14 year old "Goatie" eating my comfrey herbs. Also notice the squirrel and cardinal bird all of these are animals that you can see from my house.

On the Curbside of the camper is my horse "Rocky", my corgi "Lilly" our mutt "Belle", one of my chickens on her nest and a potted herb in the morning glory family.  There is also a hummingbird, a honey bee and a lady bug hidden on this side.
   

I have also just received my my STOF #3029 so it is official!!  I have joined the sisterhood.

oops forgot the picture of the tag

Barn Fly

So today I got the personal tag for the "Pearlie Rose" my daughter came up with it.  "BARN FLY" can't wait to take her out again. On the weekend of Aug 4th (which was my birthday) we took her camping at the Catawba Falls Family campground in Old Fort, NC it was nice and pretty peaceful. Small place for a weekend retreat.  Below is a picture of how I had the sleeping area decorated for the Summer Rally of the TCT at Orchard Lake in Saluda, NC

The "Pearlie- Rose" was selected as the best decorated trailer at the rally!!  It was nice to know that other people enjoyed and appreciated all our hard work.  Thanks to the Southern Vintage TCT group. We had a great time and met lots of cool people.

More pictures!

These were taken just the other day.

So come on in and look around.

The new floor is done and I LOVE it!

 So now the table is set and ready

and below are some more of my Breyer collection. I must have 60 +/-

Check out the cute little oil lamp I found at an antique store in VA. It can attach to a wall or stand on it's own

Inside pictures

Here are some inside pictures with the updated floors and some new decorations. I hope to sew some more pillows, some to keep and some to sell to other "cowgirl" campers.

This is the before picture when we brought her home and after we took the checkered pillows and curtains out. Below is the AFTER picture.  I just love the stained paneling and the warm feel of the little beauty!!  We were fortunate that she had good bones and most of the work was cosmetic. The mattress is a 7 inch memory foam made for truckers, so it is very comfortable!!!  I found this quilt at an antique store in Walnut Cove, NC. I made the other pillows and the curtains.

Then my husband rebuilt the benches as I showed in an older post but here it is again with the before and after pictures.

This is one of my chickens. What a challenge it was to paint on the surface.

Below is my little corgi, Lilly, she is now 13 years old and I am not sure how long I have with her, so here she will be with me always!

My husband says that "Rocky" looked so real he thought he could pet him.  This was my horse that I had to put down a few years ago. He was so very special. It seems as though this trailer is becoming a memorial to all the things I love and miss.
