This is how I started off my blog post today:
I’m not going to be talking about the teaching profession today, at least not in a literal sense. I am too excited not to talk about the Scamp, and for those who want to know more about vintage campers, I guess this could be a teachable moment. Is that a stretch?
Sounds good, right? Except today isn’t Tuesday, so it didn’t matter if I talk about teaching or not. I lost a day somewhere because Monday was a holiday, I suppose. Anyway, here’s the rest.

I still have a few things to do inside the Scamp but she is usable on the inside now. The outside is still badly in need of a bath and paint, but I need a few days with no threat of rain. She will also need new tires, probably new lights, and a title transfer. Yikes, I haven’t done that yet!
So here’s the inside. . .
Step right on in!
View from the door.
The “living room,” consisting of the bench seat just to the right of the door, which can be converted to a bunk bed. However, we took out the large piece of plywood on the back of the back cushion that would support the top bunk.
One of my favorite finds ever! A tea light chandelier I found at Ross yesterday! Perfect to hang from the roof vent!
One of my Scamp mates: Maggie the Boston terrier.
A view of the “upstairs.” It will soon become a bed when the table and mattress are brought in. Today I just set up a camp stool with a metal tray and made a tiny table. I really like how it looks!
Today I added rag strips to the curtains and made little tiebacks for them. Those pillows are a thrift store find. . .not sure if I will keep them in the Scamp. What do you think?
The left side of the “upstairs.” Not sure about those pillows, either. Or even the bear. Hm. . .
Another view of the “living room” from the “upstairs.” I may take a nap there very soon!
The closet next to the door with a tote I found at Pursuing Eden Vintage Sales and Rentals. It holds a plastic bag for trash and may come in handy on trips!
That’s it! My daughter came home tonight and came out here and asked me what I was doing out here. Duh! Enjoying my new retreat! She just doesn’t get it. Maybe after she raises a family and retires, she will. Eh, she was preoccupied. She told me later she loves it!
Let me know what you think!
XOXO

Looks like you have done a lot of work on your Scamp. It looks great! We also have a Scamp that we are working on so that we can get some Scamping done this summer.
