It looks like you all had a wonderful time! Someday I'm gonna have my own little trailer. I can't wait to fix her all up! My 6'4 husband can't see it, but I can....

Ah Girls...LOVED THE TRAILERS and the glamping... Are you all up in the great Northwest, or are there any Glampers in or around Texas?
Of course, I don't have a Glamper YET.. but might be on my wish list. We have a little 16 foot Casita called "Good Times" -- but can't paint it. DH likes streamline and NOT frilly. So you can see why I would need my own Glamper. In the meantime, I can decorate it in my mind and dream of days around the campfire playing trailer trash bingo. GO SISTERS !!!! |

Mary, this is what I am doing too, just decorating and planning in my mind. Someday it will be for real!

Hey Caron & Mary,,,,
I am a member of Sisters on the Fly, a Nation wide group of women who love to Glamp, shop, fish, ride,,,,and just hang with the gals.... if only for a weekend...leave the dirty dishes in the sink, stock the freezer w/froze food for the hubby & kiddos...and just go play for a weekend.
(Maryjanes Farm-magazine did an article on SOTF a year ago, and there is a small article on SOTF in this past issue of Oprah mag.)
There is a very large group of SOTF in TX, in fact Texas has probably the largest number of members, followed by Calif..... check them out on the internet:
sistersonthefly.com
Not everyone has vintage trailers, some have new ones,some have fiberglass ( my 1st one was a SCAMP 13') and some gals luv to Tent. They decorate their tents every bit as cute as the trailers sisters.
As for decorating your trailers w/o sending the hubbys into cardiac arrest... use "removable" deco items,,,slip covers for the cushions, extra deco pillows, cute wall hangings that can be taken down, etc...
I use those big plastic storage bins (k-mart/walmart etc) and store my trailer stuff in them that way I just dig through & pull out what ever I feel like useing..I have 3 bins for each trailer so they stack & store easily too!
Now go have fun Glamping....even if it is for only an afternoon in your back yard! :>)
Happy Trails!

Thanks Grace! I do get to tent camp some because we are civil war reenactors. So I guess you can say we are historical campers! Every item that is outside our tent where others can see it has to be period-correct. This requires a lot of research and searching to get correct looking items (we don't use authentic items because it would destroy them). When we are camping with other reenactors it is a really cool look! So I guess I have a theme for tent camping, it's the 1860's!
I look forward to what my trailer theme will be when we get one.
I'll look into the Sisters on the Fly!

I'm a Texas Sister on the Fly. A lot of the Sisters also stay in cabins. Most of the campgrounds we visit have cabins too. I'm in the process of starting a MJF Texas Chapter and was hoping to get several other MJF Texas chapters together for camping, canton trips and holiday get-together's. I just started a Facebook Group so we can communicate easier and plan some outings. If anyone is interested, send me a email.
Thanks~Tammy |
