How cool is this... I was going through some stuff stored at my parents home and came across my original Barbie Townhouse. Yes, it is sad, I have kept all of my Barbie bits and pieces all these years. But hey who could blame me, this is so cool. I always thought that if I had a kid one day maybe they might like to play with it too? I will take more photos of it when I get it out of the box and set it up one day. Maybe tomorrow...

I decided to reorganise my pantry and what better way than using authentic retro Tupperware Modular Mates. Yes I collected these containers from different people on TradeMe and now have close to a full set. Loving the press top lids and the bright retro green and yellow! They remind me of my childhood. My mum still uses the same containers too. Good one Tupperware!

Denis and I decided to buy a retro caravan for weekend getaways exploring the New Zealand country side. We also thought it would be a fun project to slowly restore a retro caravan back to it's original condition.

So we bought this 1979 Sprite Caravan on TradeMe from an elderly gentleman who used it for whitebait fishing trips. I named the caravan 'Brian' after an old mate of mine, and in the end we didn't have to change anything on the inside. Brian was in great condition and included the original light shades, orange squabs, formica cupboards etc. He was just longing for a new paint job externally. So so cute.

We certainly turned heads wherever we went towing Brian, and had heaps of requests from veteran caravaners asking for a squiz inside.

Unfortunately when we moved to Australia Brian couldn't come with us. Luckily we found a new owner who had plans to respray the exterior and restore Brian to his former glory.
