What Does It Take ?

I started my Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi business over a decade ago, with a vintage sewing machine, a sharp pair of scissors, and dream. dfoster@bellsouth.net


What does it take to turn a creative idea into a reality? First, you need to recognize what your own unique abilities and talents are. Then consider what could be done constructively with those skills. Dream, plan, envision, research, obsess for a while. Let your enthusiasm build, see the possibilities. Most importantly, think of the gratification and satisfaction of doing something you love. Achieve your goal. Make it a reality.

Custom Vintage Look Rope and Pole Awnings













I was like a little kid in a candy shoppe, as I tried to decide which vertical striped Sunbrella  patterns to buy. Re-stocking my Sunbrella fabric inventory, from a wide assortment of patterns, was so much fun. Now, many more yards of beautiful, striped, marine grade, awning material are available for my customers to choose from, for their own custom awning. All the way home, I kept imagining each different pattern made into a gorgeous vintage look awning.

Vintage Camper Rally at Misty River TN





Misty River RV Park in TN was the location of the first vintage trailer rally that I have ever attended. I recently had some business cards printed, so I was able to distribute them during the tour of vintage trailers. Campers were able to view the vintage look awnings I had on display and ask questions about the fabric and the construction. It was a great way to meet people, have fun, and to let other campers know where they can find vintage looking rope and pole awnings for their trailers. dfoster@bellsouth.net
