Fall Camping, Function and Fashion

Cooler weather has me dreaming of fall camping. Who says bundled up doesn't have to be pretty?

Swedish Wallpaper, American Camper


I love the idea of wallpaper inside a hard top camper. These images come from a Swedish wallpaper company to showcase their line. Not only do I want the wallpaper, I'll take one of the campers too.




25th Annual Family Campout


Every year, we go camping with my dad's side of the family. Year one (shown above) started with just 10 of us. This year, we had 44. We've been all over Wisconsin, and to some unfortunate Illinois locales (I'm looking at you, Jellystone). Even after 25 years of broken bones, almost tornadoes, collapsed tents, multiple cart crashes (golf cart and go-kart), and intense teasing, it's still the one family event that cannot be missed. So much so, we've had someone break up with a boyfriend over his lack of desire to attend.

Here's to another 25 more.

DIY Tiny Trailer Dollhouse

For little ones who want a trailer all their own, this Miniature Travel Trailer from Greenleaf Doll Houses makes home anywhere they roam.

Greenleaf's trailer design is inspired by "a simple, less hectic time and a desire to preserve vintage Americana", and is completely to scale. The trailer is all wood, made in the USA, and has an open top and side that gives little hands easy access.  It even comes with a shelf  to make one of the windows into a counter, so your trailer becomes a food truck!

At $19.95, this miniature trailer is super affordable. And it comes unassembled, making it the perfect DIY Rainy Day project.
