The Russian Doll Caravan

This post was inspired by some rather excellent place mats The Muse painted this week. As with so much of her recent artwork they were made to adorn the Russian Doll Caravan. The van itself is a 1979 Safari, a legendary coach built mobile home made with great care and detail in Great Britain. It's the first van I bought four years ago and before I passed it over to Emma it spent a whole year or so in a field hosting 'Caravan Club' nights, a popular excuse for us girls to sneak away and engage in boozy hairbrush karaoke usually to cheesy 80's chart hits. Now rocking away in a caravan is no laughing matter and moving the Safari into Emma's Croft signalled a new era. Now a days she hosts more refined dinner parties there and her sister Pooty's imminent visit was such an occasion. Que the cool placements so I thought I'd put you all the picture of how the van looks today, Russian Doll's galore, mostly handmade by Emma.  Please note the Russian Doll kettle, bread bin and cushions. Now you know why she is The Muse, Kat x
