When the Sisters on the Fly plan an event not to be missed - and it's in your own backyard - you go! And that's just what I did...packed up the new truck (now named Dillion, btw, he is my trusty steed) and headed out for a weekend of glamping fun!
The setting was idyllic, an artists' retreat on a preserved farm in beautiful Bucks county. My spot on the farm was in the front yard of a photographer/mixed media artist's cottage, under a magnificent tree. I got to meet Colleen, the artist, and she graciously gave me a tour of her studio; I later purchased one of her photographs, as a memento from the weekend. This trip offered a good "test run" for me (there were baths/shower, but I brought my own "facilities") and a chance to see if indeed I would enjoy "roughing it" (as much "roughing it" as glamping allows). Well, Dillion was the perfect camper and so sound proof, I slept right through a fellow sister joining the camp after midnight, right next to me.
What else can I say, I loved every minute! Oh yeah, and I learned how to solder. Now how is that for a little grit with your glamour ?!

My glamping set up out of the back of Dillion.
It was super cozy, warm and quiet.
What else could a girl ask for? |
 |
| Just a few essentials |
 |
| The view of my "backyard"- Colleen's little artist cottage |
 |
I brought my own facilities and , of
course, had to glamp that up too.
Yes, that is a port a potty, it was surprisingly o.k.
to use, thanks to this nifty pop up tent. |

Camped out under the stars and
the arms of this magnificent tree |
 |
| This tent also made a perfect spot for changing and cleaning up |

Not sure why, but I awoke the next morning before the sun rose!
Must be all that fresh air |
 |
| Handmade metal flowers - how sweet |
 |
Getting up early afforded me time to take some photos of the farm
and have it all to myself |
 |
This is an untouched photo,....I think the angels were happy there was
going to be a bake sale :) Can't you just hear the choir
singing |

 |
| A perfect fall day |
 |
| Check out these cuties. I got some good ideas for my own little canned ham |
 |
| Be sure the check out the one way at the end - it's painted like a watermelon! |
 |
Each and every one is unique and shows each individual's
personality. This one painted like an old chuck wagon, with
a dash of pink petticoat |
