Mini Myrtle Model
I was lucky to receive this gift, a wonderful, extremely detailed Neo 1:43 resincast model of a 1963 Dodge Travco Motorhome! Description from the website: "The Dodge Travco was in production for nearly twenty years from its launch in the early 1960s and externally changed very little during that time. No date is given for the example modelled but looking at the grille arrangement and photos of the real thing we’d place it in the mid-60s. The rounded shape is very well replicated and through the neatly fitted windows we see plenty of interior detail with a sofa bed behind the driver’s seat, dining area behind the side door, full kitchen and to the rear a fixed bedroom."
If you want to own your very own model check out Grand Prix Models.

Travco art
These beautiful Travcos inspire all sorts of art! This lovely print was created by Jessica of the blog Vol25 blog. It is available for purchase from the Vol25 etsy store. Jessica has this to say about the print; "where ever we are together" is a perfect reminder. :) Home can be a Queen Anne Tower house, or a motorhome... it really doesnt matter... "Wherever we are together, that is home." Watermark/logo shown on image will NOT be on the image you received. Each and every piece of VOL25 art is printed on textured canvas. VOL25 artwork is reproduced with highly archival pigment based ink. I already have one on order for Myrtle!
Jessica also previously did a great blog article on Myrtle. In fact she said Myrtle was part of her inspiration for this sweet print.

Myrtle as Muse, again!
You may have remembered that Myrtle was previously the subject of a lovely painting by the amazing painter, Kate Schutz.
Now Myrtle has been illustrated by the talented Fred Greiner and featured on his blog Van Full of Monkeys. Fred's other illustration work can be seen on his main website: http://www.fredgreiner.com/
