Today's feature camper is this cute yellow and white 1972 Sprite 'Daisy'. Daisy has a little owl sitting by the door. The photo to work from was quite tiny on my screen, so I hope I captured what makes this trailer unique. I might try for a different photo under daylight.

What I see is a stripe textured siding which is not common in this UK brand, actually Euro caravans are usually flat siding. maybe there was a renovataion done, I am not sure, as the windows look original and the shape is certainly a Sprite Shape. If you have more info on this, please leave a message, I'd love to learn! Here is an informative youtube on the history of the Sprite brand.

Really, I had thought I had it all photographed this afternoon but when I checked the camera, there was no photo of it on the chip... so, I took one under artificial light and edited a bit the colors to look more true to the painting.

My Day Today

Fall has started here on Canada's East Coast. I got washed down while on the highway to our nearest city about an hour away, Saint John, New Brunswick. My littlest had his 8th birthday today and as he wanted a very specific LEGO set, I asked if he'd be interested in picking it out himself instead of me going shopping and likely buying the wrong one. Of course, all kids thought that was a great idea and so I picked them up from school and drove directly to the city. We checked out the new toy store, too!

Oh my, this was a feast for the eyes! No cold-lit Toys'r'US with uninviting isles and isles of merchandise, but a cute little store with wonderful lighting, happy music for children and wonderfully creative displays of toys. Sort of like the NY toy store at 'Kevin Home Alone', just a tad smaller, haha.

Anyhow, now I'm home and catching up on to-do's and so am glad this pic is uploaded.

I hope you will stop by again tomorrow to see what tomorrow's painting will be! Thank you for your encouragement!
