 Inspiring Individuality

History: Daphne's Caravans began in 1996 when I wanted a outdoor project and a private place of my own. Working with an old farm wagon, memories of gypsies from childhood books, my woodworking skills and my imagination, I created my dream space in the summer of 1997. Familiar with the Tardis? Dr. Who's space/time-travelling wonder? Tiny on the outside but infinitely large inside. My first caravan is like that - with a floor space that's only 11' by 3 1/2', I have a comfortable bed, a cushioned bench, a flip-up table, shelves and a tall cupboard, as well as storage space under the bed and bench! Any wall space is filled with treasures. Interest from family and friends, and the fun of creating, has kept me designing and building ever since. Each caravan remains an individual project, built specifically to match its future owner's dreams, imagination and purpose. In 2004, I created a new experience for caravan lovers who are also DIYs: Caravan School. See the the Build-your-own section for details. In 2007, my younger daughter joined me in building, so now it's a family affair! Alas, no caravans in 2008 and 2009 while I was back at school full-time. But I graduated (as a homeopath) in June 2010, so I am back to building! Now I am living in a small town, and have the space and time to build again. If you're thinking of building your own caravan, feel free to get in touch. Maybe I can help with some ideas and pointers! Call (519) 986-3157, or email daphnelbertram@gmail.com |
