Hey everyone . . . look who's back with a Story!!
Preparation is under way for my last camping trip for 2018. Next Tuesday, Momma Sharon will be hitching me up, Aunt Becky will be hopping in Splish's front seat, and we will head to Charleston for the first stop on our Coastal Caravan V. I look forward to this trip every fall because it sets the standard for camping fun.
I just gotta tell you about something else that's fun. Our camping friend Miss Ellalou from Vermont, makes the most terrific totes and bags out of fabric. She's got a really good eye for coordinating colors and she handcrafts each one. Her little company is called ELZwear and I think it's time to toot her horn a bit. She also makes custom items and you should see the two she made for some of our camping gear!
One of our pieces of camping equipment new for this season is a Cuisanart Cast Iron Single Burner. I actually haven't seen it yet because it's been up in The Holler with Mollie. It's great for cooking all kinds of dishes using everything from saucepans to cast iron. Here's where ELZwear came into the picture. Mom needed something to carry that hot plate in, so she sent the dimensions north to Vermont and told Miss Ellalou to pick out some great fabric and have fun with it.

| It fits perfectly in Mollie's kitchen drawer |
Pretty special, huh? Today, another colorful package arrived from Miss Ellalou. We were hoping it would arrive in time for the Coastal Caravan and it did! Some of you know that my Camping Mom is a coffee hound. She's got Keurigs and K-Cups for every mode of travel and she needed a tote for her Mini-Keurig.

| At only 5 inches wide, it's the perfect camping coffee maker |

| The back is squared, the front is rounded & it's going to work great! |
Aunt Becky also has a couple of ELZwear totes . . . one for her big vintage circular fan and another for her toaster oven. If you'd like to see what they look like and see lots of other examples of Miss Ellalou's very neat creations, I can beam you over to her Facebook page. Just go HERE.
Well that's my Story for you. I have been promised full access to the laptop next week at James Island County Park, so I invite you back for a whole lot of photos and fun. Until then, always remember . . .
"Peace, Love, & Camping Tote Bags"
