Can you feel it in the air? We’re transitioning to fall, and soon … winter and the holidays! We’re just finishing the December issue of my magazine and have been decorating Christmas trees. Tra-la-la, deck the halls with …
Michele Hieb made this adorable little prim angel for me. I met Michele during our Glampers on the Loose trip to South Dakota. Just lovely, darling, sweet, and thoughtful.
On the way to South Dakota for a glamping meet-up and greet-up with the lovely ladies of Glampers on the Loose, we began to notice a common element alongside the road during our trek.
Fences.
So many fences. Of all shapes, sizes, and shades of brown.
Some were old.
Is that a wagon train in the distance?
(On our recent glamp romp to SD, we’d been driving for an hour or so and hadn’t seen any sign of man, beast, or habitat.)
Good golly miss molly … decidedly not. And not a soul in sight, or on site, for that matter. We saw this, um, ghost town in the middle of nowhere. Can’t recall which state we were in, but clearly the state this area was in, wasn’t too good!
Last week, I shared two decked-out trailers that the ladies of Glampers on the Loose revamped and stayed in during our trip to South Dakota. How adorable was Shery’s “Cabin in a Can” and Jennie’s “Little Black Dress”? This week, we’re sharing “Primitive,” the “Holy Roller,” and “The Bunkhouse.”
Here’s Michele’s dreamboat, “Primitive.”
This is it, my glorious glampin’ darlin’s! Our last giveaway of my new book, Glamping with MaryJane.
We all know how things can go … umm … not-exactly-as-planned when you’re on the road. Flat tires, problematic potty situations, the wrong color nail polish. Stuff happens!
For instance … let’s say you’re on the road for 12 days (living large in your tricked-out Airstream) and your
Snooping around Upton (Old Town), Wyoming, enroute to a rodeo.
Classic Wyoming. Georgia O’Keefe?
Just as the sun was setting, we set ourselves (ourselves being me, Ace, Kim, Anita, Jennie, Donna, Michele, Barb, Lisa, Brenda, and Shery) down for a delicious potluck dinner—the decorations being the work of our fabulous hostesses …
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
