I have been looking forward to this post for some time now. Back in November, I connected with Irene Rawlings on Facebook. Double D was looking for a cute camper for the spring photo-shoot and Irene kindly helped us locate and nail down a "canned ham" for the shoot.As we were making arrangements, I learned Irene was putting the finishing touches on a book featuring the fun, weekend-vagabond lifestyle of Sisters on the Fly, a group of women who travel around the country in restored vintage trailers. I can go on and on, but I'm going to let Irene take it from here...
Irene and the rest of these sisters have got me hankering to join...In fact, I've got my eye on an old Airstream sitting in a oilfield tool yard that I would really like to get my hands on and Double D-it-up!  I'll keep you posted if I take the leap but for now, I'm relishing my very own copy of SOTF: Caravans, Campfires, and Tales from the Road. (I'll post more pics tomorrow)

This is waaaaayyyy cool, gals! I am sending it to some of my adventurous Sistas to let them in on the breakin’ news of SOTF! What a great way to bond and see the country. I absolutely LOVE it!

I really want a camper but I think I need to wait until I get the boys off to school. Maybe I can at least get a camper and start the redo!

Linda, post some pics next time you see the camper.

What an awesome entrepreneurial idea – recycling, restoring, doing what you love and using it enjoy the great outdoors our God Lord created!

i have read about these gals before. sounds like fun. i would like to have a group of artists who travel out west together to pow wows and fairs with their airstream and art. art being anything creative. and of course nancy from sweetbird: free the sheep. yee haw too.
May 16, 2016
Yes, Jennifer, I never considered the “recycling” aspect of it! … and I do love what our God LORD created! Thanks for your comment and reading Double Talk!

Ok Shmuela, – let’s get an art group together! Great idea!
May 16, 2016
Oh wow! I look forward to getting my hand on a copy of the book. Cheryl, I hope you follow your gut and create your own masterpiece – the play by play as you design it would be amazing. Being only an hour from Montana, I’ll have to explore how a Canadian chic can take in some fun!?

Robyn – great idea, now I just need the spare time and energy!

I am a sister and we have so much fun. I had to wait for my kids to get out of college or at least get them close to it to become a sister. Just go ahead and become a sister and start looking for a trailer. You can always drive and stay in a cabin or somewhere until your trailer is finished. Decorating your trailer is so much fun. Each girls trailer is different. Watch our website and come to an outing close by and visit with us.

Thanks Leslie – all you gals are so friendly – I know it will be fun!

What a wonderful guest blog entry, on how the book came to be and what it brought forth from a chance encounter.
Cheers!

I think it was a ‘God Thing’… Irene was supposed to be there at that exact moment to see that cute caravan… and aren’t we glad she did?! Thanks Juli #444 – hope to get to meet you someday and see your trailer!

Cheryl, we DO have to meet. Double D has ruled my closet ever since we first featured it in Horse&Rider in the early 1990s. The July ‘10 issue has a Double D outfit in it…Dig Freedom with I Want You T-shirt. And how cool for you to be in Modern Arabian Horse. We horse girls love your style!
I can’t even imagine how fabulous you’d make a trailer. The Double D brand on wheels—that’d be something.

Juli – I like that, “ruled my closet” quip – never considered that, but I love the idea! Can I borrow your phrase?

this is so cool! all the trailers are done so well ! my brother bought one of these last year in montana and he converted it into a hunting trailer for himself. i think he paid 50 bucks for it! he used deer horns for cupboard drawer pulls etc. he wasnt done with it when i last saw him. there was another one just sitting in a field not far from where he lived he had his eye on.
