I’ll spare you my sunsets, but I just have to share the great vintage farm finds that come my way.
For this week’s contest, I asked what you’d do to glam up my Airstream (pictured below). The two winners we picked from our bag of tricks this week are Leslie and Jamie V. Congrats girls!!!!!! A book is on its way.

I love the idea of an awning, over a lovely deck this would be parked next to, or a cleared spot with THE most comfortable chair for sitting back and watching the sun set. (Or come up, depending on your mood!) I would love to see some color, so flowers would be essential. A walkway or path leading to this haven, planted with flowers that create a scent just for you. A smell that takes you back or calms you down or perks you up! The doors and windows open to the fresh air and maybe something simple brewing inside; your favorite coffee percolating on a camp stove ready to pour into the girliest cup you could find. Take it outside to that cushy chair and aaaahhhh, that’s better. I think there has to be colorful pillows and a fluffy throw for cooler days. Maybe some throw rugs and the grass cut short just around the camper for walking barefoot and squishing your toes in. Ohhhhh, I could go on…;)

I love a garden theme, so I would paint a floral motif on part of it, then add some flower boxes – set up a table/chairs. I would then bring out the picnic basket and have a lovely meal, while enjoying the scenery! Jamie V in MT

Teddi says: Gooseberries! I remember the first time I tasted a gooseberry. A man from farmers’ market offered me a green one … 😉
I have two educational Farm Bingo sets that are looking for two pairs of hot little hands. To win, just tell me what your favorite game is. Let’s hear it for game night!
Our winners are:
Laurie Dimino says: The favorite game in our house right now is a game called “shut the box”. Its a simple felt lined wooden box that has “domino like” pieces numbered 1-9 on a rod so that you can flip them up and down. To play you roll the dice, and flip shut the numbers that you roll. For example if you roll a “6” and a “3” you can either flip the 2 corresponding numbers shut OR you can just shut the “9”. Your turn ends when you cant flip/shut anymore numbers. Whatever numbers are left showing are added up and that is your score. The object of the game is to have the player with the lowest score. It’s fast moving and fun! I leave it sitting right on the coffee table in the livingroom, and without fail, when the kids have friends over, they ALL end up playing a couple of rounds.
Terry Steinmetz says: Our favorite game is still Scrabble. Talk about learning vocabulary! My hubby used to do the NY Times crosswords so he has plenty of extra words that always get me stuck. So we sometimes end the game with a few letters (& words) that I can’t use. It’s all in good fun, though. And I am learning new words & meanings. When our children were all home, we had a Family night every Friday, where no phone calls were allowed, no neighborhood kids, and no TV. Just project & winter time game nights. Their favorite game was always Sorry. We even had tournaments.Ah, the memories! Now my grandgirls are growing up playing games.Their favorite right now is
Sorry. They sure keep the pace going, even the 4 year old.But I love every minute of it. BINGO would be great fun to play with them. By the way, our kids still love to play games & Trivia is their board game, with euchre as their favorite card game.
Jen in TX says: Scrabble is popular here, and Uno. And a great game called Blockus, a strategy board game using colored tiles.
Winnie Nielsen says: When the girls were younger, they loved to play a go fishing board game that was mine when I was little. That was followed by a board game called Horses and then chess. As adults we still love to play Taboo with our long time neighbors and their kids whenever everyone is home in the same town together! As a child growing up, Monopoly was my all time favorite and we used to spend hours in the summer playing in our basement which was cooler. In the days of no a/c, basements were the haven for long hot summer afternoons in Virginia. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Drat!!!
Kim Watts says: I love that the game has pictures of farm animals. We love Candyland and Go Fish!
Debbie christin says: Just this past weekend my family and I played card games (gin rummy, wild card, old maid). We were up out our summer cabin in British Columbia – no Internet, no Tv. The kids had a little adjustment (withdrawal) and then we had a lot of fun with cards!
Marie Christopher says: My favorite game is Farkle (right not that is). Changes with the seasons and the mood I am in. Also, who I can get to play a game with me. Scrabble is the all-time favorite with my grands.
The favorite of the grands was/is Sorry, and now we will have a great-grandbaby in November, so we will get back to CandyLand & Chutes & Ladders, LOL. ‘tP’ and I like Scrabble best, but dominoes (Mexican Train) is good, too, & the #2 GS loves it, too.
Barbara says: We are playing Yahtzee and Bananagrams which is faster than Scrabble and not so intimidating to younger players.
Cathy R says: My all time favorite ~ pig mania now called pass the pigs! Still roll those adorable little piggies by myself sometimes and smile at the memories. I have a godchild who would adore Farm Bingo. Thanks for your generosity and enjoyable blog!
Turtle says: we love pass the pigs and for those adult evenings with friends and cars have worked it into a drinking game as well.
For just hubby and i we adore cribbage. But if daughter wants to play too we pull out Hawaii-opoly. We get to remember those years we lived there
Colina says: For my older nephews and I, the game of choice is Monopoly! I used to be the master but they are quick learners and it took them no time to figure out my strategy and use it against me. As for my little girl’s favorite? Its a toss up between the Dr. Suess memory game and Candyland!
Connie says: My all time favorite game is dominoes.
Happy Monday to one and all—with glamping tents and trailers, big or small!
You’ve shared your secrets for setting up a good glamp, so now I present my two book winner champs for this week’s contest …
Okay, the names go into a vintage fishing creel. A little hand goes in. And two names come out …
And the second two winners of my Glamping with MaryJane book giveaway are:
Billie Jo Moffett and Lucy McCarty!!!!!!
Billie Jo Moffett said:
August 7, 2012 at 9:43 am “Grands biscuits in a can…. You can make them as instructed, or…. fried buscuits, fried donuts… Super easy, quick and fun while glamping!!!”
New to glamping, but my most useful tip is find yourself a pair of candlebras. Perfect for light outside in the evening, lovely glow inside in the dark. They are so shabby for glamping. Adds a bit of romance, provides light, looks elegant and receives so many compliments. Wonderful with white taper candlesticks.
Winnie Nielsen says: I have never been glamping, but I have done a lot of camping. Here is an easy dinner to make for campers and glampers alike. Using heavy duty aluminum foil, pull off a large square to which you add white or dark chicken pieces, a peeled and chopped carrot and potato, a slice or two of onion, and salt/pepper and seasoning to taste. Wrap it all up tightly and then double wrap for security . You can make these ahead of time, place them in your cooler, and either cook over coals of a wood fire or a small charcoal grill for about 45 minutes. Presto! Dinner all done and ready to enjoy with no pots and pans to wash. This combination tastes good with a hamburger or pork chop too. If you want to use the camper oven, just place packets on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for same amount of time.

Billie Jo Moffett says: Watch for those lace curtains everybody sells at garage sales………cheap and can be used as curtains in camper or use velcro to attach to tent doors for elegant entrance…..also helps keep mosquitos out. Or be creative and turn into fancy mosquito netting over bed.
Lucy McCarty says: Grands buscuits in a can…. You can make them as instructed, or…. fried buscuits, fried donuts… Super easy, quick and fun while glamping!!!
Mary Jane chapin says: Just made these donuts on 8/11/12 while glamping with my sister and 5 year old grand nephew! Great lessons from being a girlscout!
Megan Beyer says: Not sure its campin, or Glamin, without my horse. I’d say its havin an extra frying pan and a collapsible fishin rod in my saddle bags. Add a little color to the bed roll with different colored canvas, and grab that new pair of boots to add some flare.
Kat Tylee says: A pretty flour sack dish towel turned table cloth or fold them up and turn them into cloth napkins that can get rinsed in the crick or sink and line dried. Cut some wildflowers and use your leftover tin can (after you rinse it of course) as your vase. I also love Mason jars for this purpose along with drinking glasses at home or while camping and Glamping.
No vintage trailer should be without the World’s Best Kitty Litter for the Luggable Loo.
Sharon Sigmon says: It’s just a simple redneck wine glass…$1.00 candle holder from Dollar Tree, 1 small Ball jar from Walmart, 1 lime green and blue glass marble, a bit of E6000 epoxy, and a cute charm made from a beer bottle cap…so very chic…LOL!
Oilcloth is good for your table but also to cover stuff in a hurry if the rain comes – and the new patterns are so 40’s! So easy to make placemat, lunch bags, hats, and totes! Seems like it should be a staple in a glamper!!!
Melissa Bailes says: I have a vintage picnic basket that I keep packed with cross stitch table cloth( bought at a thrift store) , cloth napkins, pretty plates and glasses, fun salt and pepper shakers, and all “the might need” knives, cutting boards and hammered aluminum trays so we are ready to go on a lovely picnic at anytime. We can add the food on the way… Wine, cheese and fruit for an adult only or campfire packets for a family supper in the woods.
Vivian V says: I like putting pillar candles in a large mason jar. Lovely light and the breeze will not blow the candles out.
Laura says: I bought some cute charger plates …teal color that are the scalloped and put my paper plates on them to set the picnic table with a cute tablecloth….My camper has a wine glass holder under the cabinets with plastic wine glasses….very glamorous for camping!
I am new to the concept of Glamping, but I have had plenty of camping experience since I was a child. I am racking my brain to think about the simple, but effective touches that would make a difference in one’s camping experience. After much thought, a pillow came to mind. When I have gone camping-to save space I would use a sack filled with clothes to use as a pillow. Practical, but not very comfortable. For Glamping I am thinking a REAL pillow covered with a lace trimmed case. Now that would be livin’!
Chrissy says: One of the simplest tips I can remember is to rub dish soap on the bottom and side of any pan you need to place over/in the fire. Cleanup is a lot easier as the smoke marks wash right off. Take along a book of classical poems to read aloud at the campfire.
When looking for upholstery material for our camper, I was so discouraged at the prices from $24.99 to $59.99/yd. I needed 10 yards. Yet I wanted a durable fabric. I opted to go with painters cloth from Harbor Freight. I spent less than $20 on 2 painter’s cloths, which gave me more than enough fabric. Durable and it looks very nice.
Becky says: camping with 6 children may not be considered glamping, but that is how we do it.
I made each person in our family a fancy pillow case; flowers for the girly girls, race cars for the boy, etc. Now there is no comfusion as to who’s pillow is whose.
Laurie Dimino says: The best Glampin’ tip I have up my sleeve? When no one is looking I sneak out to my glamping tent which is set up way out back, be it for a 1/2 hour of relaxation or a couple of hours to read in peace. They always know where to find me though….LOL.
Thanks for the chance to win your latest and I’m sure greatest book!
Hugs,
Lisa R says: I love enamelware and tin! Cute, fun items for my glamper would be an old enamelware bread pan to hold my napkins….an old enamelware or tin plate attached to a small chunky cut tree limb, giving you a rustic (and unbreakable) cake stand…..table centerpiece: an old metal box cheese grater with a cute gingham bow tied to the handle, placed on top of a votive candle, adding flickering and charming light to your relaxing evenings.
My little glamper does not have a screen door and it is nice to have one! I thought about getting one of those magnetic curtains now available, but they aren’t very ‘romantic’ looking. So, I opted to use a flowery sheer shower curtain (a leftover I’d saved). I mounted a cafe rod above the door, I put those little camper circle clamps though the curtain holes, slid them onto the rod and the curtain slides back & forth easily across the doorway easily. It is like a lacey screen…letting the light and breeze through, but not the bugs. You can see through it too. When not in use, I just slide it to one side, knot it and it hangs out of the way. Inexpensive, easy to do…AND glampy romantic.
Vanessa says: My favorite decadent glamping treat is waffles made in an old nordic-ware waffle iron that you can use on a gas stove or over a small carefully controlled fire. Pile the waffles high with wild berries picked near by (or bring some berries or canned pie filling) and a big dollop of whip cream for the ultimate glamping breakfast or dinner!! They are by far the best waffles ever. 🙂
Cat Livingston says: When camping/glamping I love to find a place to skinny dip! Nothing like nature in the buff…right? Such a free feeling, but mostly I do that in our spring fed creek in the middle of our 100 acres so no one sees me. 🙂
Nancee McPherson says: The concept of glamping has renewed my interest in camping. Too old for camping on the ground… ;0
Turtle says: as we love the mini mini campers i say make sure everything you have can be used in at least two different ways. I have a girlfriend who cannot do this and wonders why her trailer is so stuffed and crowded when mine is not. 🙂
Chris Cherry says: My mom taught me how to glamp by looking for the “other way” to use everything and
By making sure you don’t take more than you need!
One cast iron skillet, one enamel coffee pot, one enamel dishpan and one set of enamel dishes with one set of utensils per person. Loads of books & pillar candles in garage sale hurricane lamp globes (the only exception to the “1 only rule”!)
Getting ready to lead my son into his first overnight camp this weekend. Can’t wait to teach the next generation the exhilaration of glamping! Boys can glamp, right?!
Marie Kelley says: I bought a sandwich maker and miniature crock pot for my friend Sue to use when she goes camping in her cute 13-foot Scamp. With the sandwich maker, she can even bake fruit pies with white bread and canned pie filling. For an elegant touch, I recommended that she shake some confectioners’ sugar on top of the pie.
For comfort, we fashioned a pad for the couch from memory foam so that her guests will be comfortable when they accompany her. I’m anticipating my first “Glampin'” trip with her!
Sue Fischer says: I love to look my best even if I am camping. I gather water from the creek and wash my hair–then set it in foam rollers. Don’t laugh!! It is easy and I feel amazing. And it dries so quickly, especially in the summer sun.
Bring my own fresh eggs from my own poultry and homemade bread for french toast over the camp fire. Fragrant candles to read by candlelight… A favorite girly night shirt for slumber…plus I wear a favorite leather cord necklace with an amazing crystal for energy and comfort.
Lucy McCarty says: I have so enjoyed the Glamping book that I won… Thank you soooooo much. I have read it from cover to cover and cannot wait to start on my own glampor!
Happy Monday to one and all—with glamping tents and trailers, big or small!
You’ve shared where you like to glamp, so now I present my book winner champs …
Mary Kay says: Oh kismet indeed! So exciting. Thank you so much!!!! Congratulations to Sandi too!!
Sandi O'Connor says: What a wonderful surprise!!!! Can’t wait to get my hands on this book!! Thanks so much and best to you Mary Kay, maybe our paths will cross glamping one day!
In our June 2012 newsletter, MaryJane’s Cluck, I highlighted Becky Higgins and her company, “Project Life.” I met Becky in Minnesota, heard her speak to hundreds of scrapbookers, and well, fell in love with everything Becky.
Project Life is scrapbooking made do-able! All you need are photos and an assortment of colored pens, which is fabulous because, let’s be honest, it’s a fast-paced world we live in.
I am sure you’re wondering, ‘where’s mine, where’s mine!?’ Well, it’s your lucky day SUE’s IN TEXAS!!!! Sue’s name was pulled from my lottery hat.
Here’s what Sue in Texas won:
Jen in TX says: I am expecting, so this would really come in handy!
Laurie Dimino says: I NEED this for SURE! I have two beautiful children ages 12 and 13. I have been taking pictures for years, and while I have made some scrapbooks of my own and done a few photobooks on sites like shutterfly and such, this would definitely inspire me to get busy creating something to look back at for years to come.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Hugs,
Laurie
Terry Steinmetz says: I love Becky Higgins things too. When I first started scrapbooking, she gave me so many ideas! What fun it would be to scrap in one of her kits! Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy this! Oh yes, I would use it to scrap a memory book about myself. I have made scrapbooks for my children, my grandgirls & my hubby of their lives & think I should try to make an autobiography of myself for all of them to enjoy!
Sabrena Orr says: Oh my! Have you seen my 4 boxes of photos stuffed in the upper portion of the office closet? Well…neither have I lately, but I know they are there!!! All I need is this super cool kit to get me started! I have pictures in those boxes dating back to when my oldest was about 4 and she is almost 20!! I could get my pictures organized (in a cute, scapbooky fashion) and find some much needed closet space!
I am having a little one in couple of days and this will start a new journey so this will be a great way to start the journey right.
Laura says: Oh I would love this!!! Have used Project Life now for the past two years & it makes scrapbooking so much easier for me. Thanks!
My son just got married and the entire family was together for the first time in years.
I’d LOVE to scrapbook the event with these materials. They are gorgeous.
Valerie Wicks says: I am on the verge of becoming an empty nester! I have 2 children 19 & 17 who will soon be flying the coop! I have been faithful about photographing them but have neglected the organization of the photos. I desperately need to sort thru the big plastic bins & arrange the photos into some form in which they can be viewed for generations to come! This set looks like just the system I need to get started!
Jessica Steele says: Oh, this is fabulous. I love everything scrapbook…and what an addition these would make to my collection of memories! About to embark on a rescue ranch journey, and these would be perfect for documenting our start-up days!
Angela says: I fell in love with this idea when I saw it in your newsletter. This is my daughter’s senior year of high school. We have homeschooled all the way through, and we are both facing this year with a bittersweet mix of excitement and trepidation. She is an avid photographer, and I love scrapbooking, and we are wanting to do this as a joint project together. So beautiful to celebrate life, and it’s the perfect way to help record some of our farmgirl sisterhood projects.
Mary Beth Schwarz says: This would be a big help to organize my 65 years of photos and odds & ends for myself and my family! Thanks for offering this free set to RJ readers!
Carmen in Idaho says: Memories (56 years and counting)….loved ones, some who watch from above… parents, children, friends, pets, teachers, and oh those vacations….special moments in time…those never want to forget pictures of the heart and hand…..that get stuffed in boxes..so many boxes….lifetime of pages wating to be shared….OH PLEASE I could use a method to my madness….!!! Scaping booking a pleasure to share…relaxing to do…for generations to come!!!
Judy Cook says: Oh, I would LOVE this! I am 59 and I have just started doing 5Ks and making jewelry!! Life is changing fast and I’d love to scrapbook it–HEY! I haven’t ever scrapbooked either. THIS would be a beautiful way to start!!!
Turtle says: Very Very badly! I have been scrap booking for years but have fallen behine and still have my grandparents on both sides as well as my growing up album… where i grew up on a small dairy/horse farm…. I have fallen into a deep pitty rut and need a boost to get back to work scrapbooking again… please!?!?!?!
Linda S. from Michigan says: I would love to have this scrapbook kit. I hold Nana Camp each summer (this will be year 5) with my 2 grandkids. This is the only time I get to spend with them throughout the year. I’ve got lots of pictures by the years, but not sure how to put it all together this would be a great help. And something I can give them to remember our good times when they grow up.
Sue in Texas says: I am not a scrapbooker but have photos in boxes. I have planned to make photo books for each of my grown kids this Christmas and your Project Life scrapbooks are the perfect solution for me. Pictures and their stories are the simple farmgirl way to share our memories. I’m so inspired now and hope I win so I can get started.
Melody Winston says: Kids in college, life has been busy, and I pre-bought the book to find a new romantic way for my husband and I to reconnect. Go Glamping!
Christine ross says: With four kids and bins of photos as far as the eye can see, I could really use help getting these pics in order!
michelle kelley says: What a great indoor (or outdoors on a beautiful day!) I am my soon-to-be mother-in-laws caregiver and this would be a wonderful project for rainy days or just anyday!We really,really want to win this awesome set!!!! thanks, Mearl and Michelle of Illinois
Anne says: I would love this! I’m embarrassed to say that my son is 20 months old and I still have not printed out any pictures. Winning this would motivate me to get started!
Kathy k says: I have a closet full of boxes of pictures. I am overwhelmed! I need help organizing them
Jane Stoner says: I have 6 grandchildren and have taken lots of pictures of each of them. I especially like taking pictures of them during special holidays: Birthdays, Easter Egg Hunts, Halloween, and Christmas. Someday I hope to have a scrapbook completed to present each grandchild so they can look back and enjoy the memories they have of growing up. I think they will appreciate having these books, especially when they have children of their own and can share the books with them.

Hi MaryJane!
How ’bout a set of Buffalo Horns mounted on the front of that shiny Glamper? (my husband & I raise American Bison so we could fix you right up!); and, wouldn’t that be very handy for drying laundry? One thing about “Glampers”; we’re ingenius! lol
Bunches of blessings on your day! ;>)

OH MY! It looks great out there. I’m thinking a path to it, and a deck next to it , (new awning for sure) some chairs and a table, Iced tea and Ginger snaps. Throw open those windows and you’ve got a lovely guest house. I have a 76 tradewinds AS. She’s my baby!
First of all I would add a MaryJane Farmgirl…. (every Glamper needs at least one!).
Then I would add lace curtains, a fringe awning and some lovely antique accessories. To keep the Farmgirl company, I would add at least two dogs, with suitcase dog beds and some old books, a basket of yarn with lknitting needles and an old oil lamp. A candle chandiler in the bathroom, with some large fluffy towels and some herb scented soaps would make that chore a pleasure! Homemade jellies in the cupboards and a loaf of bread rising on the counter would call all of the Glampers home for supper in short time. Finally, I would place a well worn bible on the counter beside the handmade quilt covered bed, loaded with fluffy pillows. Glamping is wonderful ~ no matter if the location is far far away, a local quiet spot or just a just a dream in your mind.
First, I’d have it wrapped in a pretty lace and floral car wrap. Something with a mural, green pastures, wildflowers, and a white picket fence. Then, I’d add some farmgirl style twinkling lights to that Marti Domyanic awning Lynnie described. I’d mix the lights- red/white gingham light covers on some and I’d leave a few firefly lights open too. I’d set a grass rug underneath the awning and a picnic table with red check on it and I’d set the table with vintage silver and bright apple colored tableware.
A beautiful mural painted on the side.
Hmmm… Lace curtains, an awning, a small table with a cute tablecloth sitting next to the path that need to be worn down through the grass (I do miss the Palouse). A big glass of ice cold sweet tea, a good book or a good friend. Even better both. I gotta get going fixing up a spot on my new porch and/or patio.
That is a beautiful location for glamping! I think I would dress it up with an outdoor cooking area complete with a small fireplace. Id set up a hammock for relaxing. Maybe even set up an outdoor tub or shower. And then to complete the picture we need a bunch of fun longing women (sisters) to sit around the fire at night roasting marshmallows.
I’d stock it with plenty of MaryJanesFarm food selections that are so quick and easy to prepare. There has to be a hammock outside to enjoy the cool breeze and take in all the outdoor sounds. A mosquito net to go around the hammock with a little table to set your cool drinks on with a cute farmgirl themed ice bucket beside the table on the ground. I’d throw a lovely vintage table cloth on the ground under the hammock to add that homespun touch! And, last a few oldies but goodies cd’s to play at night under the stars while you roast hot dogs and marshmellos on the open fire!
All of the ideas above sound great – would love any of them. Since I recently named my car Gypsy (because I just retired and hope to do some road trips), my suggestion is some old-school Gypsy Caravan colors/styles. I just love lots of Happy colors, and would love to add your book to my library to keep my dreams alive.
It’s been my dream to have an Airstream with big wide striped awnings on all the windows. Attachable flower boxes too. With big rugs outside the door. Twinkly Christmas lights in the evenings.
I love the idea of an awning, over a lovely deck this would be parked next to, or a cleared spot with THE most comfortable chair for sitting back and watching the sun set. (Or come up, depending on your mood!) I would love to see some color, so flowers would be essential. A walkway or path leading to this haven, planted with flowers that create a scent just for you. A smell that takes you back or calms you down or perks you up! The doors and windows open to the fresh air and maybe something simple brewing inside; your favorite coffee percolating on a camp stove ready to pour into the girliest cup you could find. Take it outside to that cushy chair and aaaahhhh, that’s better. I think there has to be colorful pillows and a fluffy throw for cooler days. Maybe some throw rugs and the grass cut short just around the camper for walking barefoot and squishing your toes in. Ohhhhh, I could go on…;)
How about 5 giggling ladies with drinks in their hands and tears rolling their faces from laughing so hard!! I have a specific 5 in mind!!
How about a white washed picnic table with a vintage linen tablecloth on it. Decorated with a vase of wild flowers and cute candle holders made from mason jars. Big glass pitcher of ice tea and some great company to enjoy it with!!
Besides all the lovely things the ladies have already suggested, I would want to be near a creek where I could hear the water, sit alone watching wildlife in the evenings, and of course, skinny dip!
I love a garden theme, so I would paint a floral motif on part of it, then add some flower boxes – set up a table/chairs. I would then bring out the picnic basket and have a lovely meal, while enjoying the scenery! Jamie V in MT
I’d have a watering trough and a horse.
A Big Disco Ball outside for night-time festivities. A table piled high with grilled meat. A bean bag to collapse in.
The Airstream needs a pink door and pink wheel rims.
