It is so exciting when a new collection launches! I am happy to say that the Vintage Travel collection is HERE, stocked up and available!
If you click here and order, I will receive a small percentage of the sale, which I would love because it all adds up, right? Big Daddy needs some work… My husband was moving Scotty from the front yard to the back a couple of weeks ago and in the middle of the operation, the truck stopped going and just would not start up again. So we had him towed to my son-in-law’s garage, GT Peace Auto.
It was not good news. Repairs came to $2900! Fuel pump, spark plugs, crack in the exhaust plus some maintenance stuff- ack! BUT I am glad it went while my husband was in the driveway and not while I was driving it in the middle of nowhere with Scotty in tow…
I’m relieved that now both Big Daddy and Scotty have been overhauled and are pretty much ready for the next trip and… I have some exciting news to announce about my trip to Chicago in July but am waiting to tell until I know for sure that it is happening. Crossing my fingers!
Thanks for stopping by…

Good to know! Thanks Ann0- hopefully Carol will see this. I have an email in because now you have me wondering 🙂 I do feel better knowing the chance of breaking down is less than it was before… Thanks for your lovely comments as always!

Ack – if it’s not one thing, it’s another. Sorry about the repairs. Yuck. But, congratulations on the new release. Most exciting (and adorable!).
Eileen Hull says
Well thanks Sharon! I feel like my babies have come to life 🙂 And glad Big Daddy is fixed- I need him!

Ah, the fun benefits of ownership. lol It seems as if something can go wrong, it does. Glad to know everything is fixed and you should be good to go for your trips.
Eileen Hull says
I agree Judy- it does seem to work that way but that’s life 🙂

I feel your pain, Eileen. Just had my car serviced and repaired (have to spend July in Arizona helping my parents and sister) and it was $1752. Helloooooo, credit card. Sigh. Great news about the Vintage Dies availability. Glad your babies are fixed and ready to go. Chicago is in for a treat.
