Mini Shasta Compact
How cute is this!? I received this in the mail today from a gal that makes them. I'll try and find out if she has a website and if so I'll post it for you all.

However, the difference is the Astrodome's had a different layout with a bathroom and the Astroflytes do not. I prefer the layout in the … [Read more...]
