ceejay48	Posted - Mar 15 2012 : 6:00:13 PM Okay farmgirls, since some of you have asked . . here are a few pics of our "glamp-site". My daughter, Robin . . aka "birdie71", and I are together for a few days in Arizona, near her home in Phoenix. FOUR DIFFERENT MEN have come by and given us high compliments. We are using a 10 x 10 EZ-Up canopy with pretty sheets, all kinds of lacy curtains, etc. around the edge of the canopy. We have a tent set up as our "bedroom" . . . those pics will come later. We are layering vintage tablecloths and other linens on the tables and are using lots of vintage doilies, towels, etc. We have used several rugs in different sizes and colors for our "carpet" under the canopy. This pic is of my daughter, Robin, in the canopy . . . getting ready to do something famgirl glamper-ish! Our hatrack and a few of the linens that are over the area that leads to our "bedroom" "Kitchen" area where we have food, vintage picnic basket (that was one I grew up with), thermos bottles, our retro looking CD player, etc. We have hung aprons, some are vintage, at the top for the added "kitchen" look The view of a huge saguaro cactus just outside of our "back door". "Boudoir" curtain on the left and apron at the top. Another view of the "kitchen" out the "back door". We have an apron with HUGE pockets hanging at the corner that holds our clothespins, extension cords, etc. Our "boudoir" in another corner, with our things for primping, carried there in our "train cases" and we even have our vintage vanity sets. There will be more . . you have to see our "bedroom", where Mr. Teddy hangs out, where Cock-a-doodle Blue gets to sit, our kitchen/work table and how it looks at night! Thanks for letting us share! YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO COME JOIN US!!!

katmom	Posted - Apr 02 2012 : 8:09:53 PM Hey Ceejay Well after seeing your tent w/the 'sunroom'... I decided to re-think my 'lack of pest free zone' when Glamping... I was over at Wally~World and spotted their little 9x9 easy-up sun canopy and you can buy a snap on screen netting to go around all 4 sides.. this would be perfect around the campground in the evening when the skeeters are out looking for a free meal! lol! I have actually seen gals slide the canapy up against their trailers like a sun room... I like the skeeter netting for a bug-free zone! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom.

ceejay48	Posted - Mar 28 2012 : 7:37:52 PM Well, I did a "walkabout" after we had the tent up, looking at all the places and possibilities for putting our lacy curtains on it. Told Robin we may need to get a Lazy-Boy to put in it . .. :D) Bramble likes to sleep smack dab in the middle of the bed with me. I've never been able to get her to sleep on a doggie bed. But that's not a problem, she doesn't move a lot in the night. When she goes to bed, she goes to bed!

Yuck! >^..^< Happiness is being a katmom. "Is it time for my Dirt Manicure yet!" www.katmom4.blogspot.com & http://www.graciesvictorianrose.blogspot.com
ceejay48	Posted - Mar 28 2012 : 4:14:34 PM April, It is classified as a "6-person" but that's pretty crowded. But we've bought enough tents over the years to know that if it says "6" then you can probably get 4 in it okay. Of course, if anyone wanted to sleep in the vestibule there is room for an adult or couple kids out there. I bought it from Amazon. It's the "Evanston" model, you can get them without the screened vestibule but Robin and I REALLY LIKED that feature and I'm glad I got it that way. You can get a "4 person" and "8 person" . . . ;). There are some on Ebay as well, but there was NOT any of the 6-person with the screened vestibule on Ebay. ..from the barefoot farmgirl in SW Colorado...sister chick #665. 2010 Farmgirl Sister of the Year Mother Hen: FARMGIRLS SOUTHWEST HENHOUSE living life - www.snippetscja.blogspot.com from my hands - www.cjscreations-ceejay.blogspot.com the "Purple Thistle" http://www.ceejay48.etsy.com from my heart - www.fromacelticheart.blogspot.com from my hubby - www.aspenforge.blogspot.com
sonshine4u	Posted - Mar 28 2012 : 3:53:20 PM Love it! I'm looking into getting a new tent that is sturdier as well. How many people does that one sleep? ~April Playing in the Sonshine
ceejay48	Posted - Mar 28 2012 : 3:44:13 PM Our new "digs". I ordered a new tent. This is a Coleman Weathertec . . . better tent with better protection against weather.. A bit bigger and I can actually stand up in it, which is helpful when you're trying to put pants on! (I'm 5'8") And, it has a screened vestibule which is also a nice addition. Set it up today to see how it all went together and check it out. Bramble and I can hardly wait for our next adventure!

ceejay48	Posted - Mar 27 2012 : 09:00:01 AM Have to tell you this little story. On Saturday day when we knew the storm was brewing we were cooking our supper at the same time we were starting our "batten down the hatches" process. Some older and somewhat arrogant guy in a big, expensive truck comes by, sticks his head out the window and yells at us "well I guess you haven't been watching the news on TV because we're supposed to get wind up to 60 mph tonight". (that was a stretch and, while it was windy, it wasn't 60 mph) He was staying in a big, expensive RV . . . with the ability to watch TV! Apparently there was not comprehensive of the fact that we were IN A TENT CAMPING SITUATION!!! How the heck were we supposed to "watch TV"! Fortunately, we had electrical hookup and wi-fi so we were watching the weather on the internet on my laptop so we knew. Furthermore we were ON IT!! We're Farmgirls . . . we did it with FARMGIRL FORTITUDE AND GRIT!!!!

laurentany	Posted - Mar 22 2012 : 8:50:49 PM I want to thank you again CJ and Robin for the wonderful photo journey of your glamping trip! I second what all of the other farmgirls have said- If you published a magazine I would be in line waiting to sign up for a subscription. Your posts are always a joy and pleasure to read, and I look forward to them. Thanks for sharing girlfriend! You are truly an inspiration! Hugs, ~Laurie "Little Hen House on the Island" Farmgirl Sister#1403 Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..
