Long Story in the Short Version

Take one licensed massage therapist and one professional wine geek, and when they put their heads together ...

Enter one friend who was intrigued with their idea. Later, he would  find himself in the role of the "negotiator." This 6'7" gentle giant was the perfect person who placed phone calls to many used trailer ads and negotiated until we found the right one ...

Now we are in the middle of cleaning, painting and freshening up this 1967 Fireball Camp Trailer, as well as seeking out wonderful treasures to fill it with. 

The grand opening you ask?  We are aiming for April or May. Stay tuned for the time and place

Entrepreneurs on Wheels

You've heard of online shopping? Here comes "mobile shopping." Mobile Boutiques are the next iteration of the food truck phenomenon. Instead of gourmet sandwiches and deep fried candy bars, this is calorie-free shopping at its best: everything from home decor, tchotchkes, retro fashions, sundries and used record albums.

These 21st century peddlers are repurposing old buses, trailers, and trucks and filing them with new and vintage treasures for sale. Check out this round up from Condé Nast Traveler showing 11 of the coolest peddlers around - - from Portland, Oregon to Berlin, Germany.  

This looks like so much fun, we want to give it a try! First, we must find a trailer.
