Very unique. I was at at the Patchwork art festival this summer here in Long Beach, and someone had a fully restored aqua and chrome trailer that they were selling their wares out of. The repurposed vintage and had lots of unique furniture, throw pillows, jewelry, aprons and such. It was one of those smaller 50's trailers that would be towed behind a truck, and it was a really cool environment to shop in. PLUS they didn't have to set up and take down a booth; they just drove in and parked!

brilliant idea!

when i was checking out the photos, though, i will say my first thought was all white: so much potential to add some bright vintage prints/photos/graphics...and then read your post, Amber: it sounds like you saw an ideal setup!

seriously brilliant.

Oooh aqua (my favorite) and chrome! I wish I could have seen it Amber, and I must say you're right Mary -- not much in the way of color or prints. Trish, we'll have to go and check it out. I do like the non-frill of it all!

Dior and Valentino for less than 20? I'm so there!

I wished I lived closer--I'd be there, too!

Very interesting concept--thanks for posting, Laura! (And the aqua trailer/booth you describe sounds fab, too, Amber--really brilliant, as Mary says...)
