Living on a boat has been compared to camping by many a person. We're all huddled in a small space, trying to make the most of it, trying to make it home. Our boat is big for a boat, small for a house, but it's taught me a few tricks about quickly and easily creating homey touches. So when I was trolling Pinterest for camping food ideas and stumbled on the whole concept of Glamping, I was sold. I can't create a gypsy caravan love tent (
check out these google images for glamping, uh no sorry no space for a four poster bed), but I squeezed a few extra things into the Honda Civic that made our
camp site in Shenandoah National Park feel a little more civilized.
Basically it's all about fabric. A nice quilt here, a tablecloth there, some nice cloth napkins, a little decorative bunting just for fun. And of course any wee comforts from home like a favorite mug with special tea, a good book, soft slippers, a favorite sweater, and an emergency bar of dark chocolate with some wine. You can plop yourself just about anywhere and feel cozy with a little of that.
Then of course when it pours for a day, and your tent leaks... it all ends up something like this...
But if the chocolate and wine and tea are still dry, that's all that matters in the end.

Basically you are awesome. I had a client who was very into glamping but she went in a motorhome. You go armed with quilts! Again, you are awesome. Also is your girl still in fancy clothes? She is definitely glamping!!
Oh, another lovely post from you. I love reading your blog for the last couple of years. It has such a relaxed atmosphere, somehow like the one you have managed to put in your camping story.
Love it!!! Looks like so much fun. I love the last photo too. :)
We tend to let camping become all about plastic tarp things and canvas stuff... so stiff and rigid. A little color WOULD make me feel a lot more comfortable. I love what you all did there.
