Kitschy Kitten is now Nest Vintage Modern
Hi guys!
I’ve been keeping my blog and store separate for some silly reason. It doesn’t make sense since I sell what I love, and I blog about that same stuff. What was I thinking? Ah well, let’s fix that, shall we?
So I’ve combined the blog and store. It’s a blore…or a stog. Maybe not.
But it feels right. Let’s do it! I've made this ENTIRE POST a giant link so you can't miss it. Ahh hilarious.
I’ll be selling ...

So apparently this fixing up vintage campers thing isn't a one time thing. It's not even a 4 time thing.
When I started shopping around for a camper to fix up a year ago, the Airflyte was the one that made my heart skip a beat, but I couldn't touch them at around $3,000, and that was on the low end.

You have no idea what I've been through in the past month. One afternoon I got an email from my dad and his wife informing me that my blog was throwing up redirects to some Russian spam scam site. After a little investigating, I found articles about how my host, Dreamhost, had their servers hacked with the exact same outcome I had experienced. Oh...ok. They'll help me fix it, right? Surely I'm not alone and they're all over this, RIGHT?

So lots of email was exchanged back and forth. At the...

One of my New Year's Eve to-do list items was to find a large workspace. We've been paying rent on a storage space and a parking spot for the camper, and with the addition of this new studio/storage/camper spot we will actually decrease a bill, which worked out kind of well.
Anyway, so I'm trying to tell you that I rented an airplane hangar. One-third of a hangar, to be precise, which is plenty of space for me.
Funny...My grandfather being one of the first licensed pilots on the country, my father being a pilot...
