Sometimes, strange things happen when
you least expect it. I drove from Kirkland
to Anacortes today to go to work. I had to
stop by my house to water the yard and took
a back road instead of Highway 20. I passed
a gated storage area that has trailers and boats.
in it. Out of the corner of my eye I see, AQUA.
It is a little travel trailer and in the back window is
a, for sale sign. I flip around, park and try to take a picture
through the chain link fence. Then I see a guy roaming
through the chain link fence. Then I see a guy roaming
around so I ask if I could get in to see the trailer.
It is unlocked so I go inside and get a really good look.
It is so perfectly, aqua from roof to floor, all original.
I call the owner...and 4 hours later he delivers it to
my door!
She is a Scotty Hilander, we think a 1968-69
All original. I am in love.
This is Bill, the former owner. He also tried to sell me beads,
some flax seed, labels from vintage apple boxes.....
But, I only had eyes for my Scotty.

A top bunk, and the bottom bunk gets bigger.
See the walls? Original paint on wood. A now shabby lovely
aged aqua with grey specks. Even the floor is white with aqua.
Sink, stove, cabinets.
I took these pictures with my snapseed app. So I gave them a grunge
look. It's pretty grungy already but I just keep saying in my head.
"Cute as a button!!!"
This is the table that folds into a bed.
I don't want to make it perfect and shiny. I love the look now.
Just need to get rid of the musty smell and a good cleaning.
Add some cream cushions and call it good!

Lucky you! and aqua too!
It is a dream of mine, but then I would need something to pull it, plus not up to the work and care. So I just get excited when friends score!!!
