Growing up in rural Pennsylvania with generations of people who lived off the land must have left an imprint. It instilled in me an appreciation and love for the unusual, the imperfect, and the story behind the object. I found my 1952 Aljoa vintage trailer at a garage sale. The owner at the time didn’t want to sell her, but I stayed in touch and waited patiently until one day he called to tell me that the new neighborhood he was moving into wouldn’t let him store his vintage camper. So while my hubby was on a business trip, I bought “Daisy” and the rest is her-story!
After restoring “Daisy” to her original beauty, I began using her as my mobile vintage shop. As an antique dealer and later a founder of a successful outdoor vintage market, “Driving Miz Daisy” I’ve had the privilege of meeting many amazing people over the years. It’s so much fun to share stories of our never-ending love & quest for vintage, timeless and uncommon goods. “Daisy” has always been my partner and brand in my journey. As I met and worked with many vendors and customers across California, I found they also expressed the same desire I had for an upscale, indoor vintage market in the OC. So recently I’ve flown into the The Hangar at the Orange County Fair Event Center in Costa Mesa and I’m producing the “Flying Miz Daisy Vintage Market”!
“Daisy” has a big sister now, “Rosey” a 1964 Shasta Twenty and they’re both inside the Hangar where people of all ages can enjoy and experience a bit of nostalgia.
