I pre-ordered it back on May 23rd after reading about it on the Farmgirl Connection. I have all your other books, so I wanted my collection to be complete. 🙂

I ordered the book because years ago I stumbled upon an article about your Glamper and have been dreaming ever since of having my own Glamper. I’ve been collecting dishes for it for a while. I know some one in my neighborhood who has already became a Glamper and I am looking forward to the day when I finally am able to join the ranks. This will give me further inspiration and courage to take the step of being good to myself sometimes, as well as inspiration of what I want to do with my rig once I find it.
You are a woman after my own heart. From the desert city farmgirl at heart.

I love everything Mary Jane – every book and magazine gives me a renewed feeling for living life. Thanks for all you do.

Actually, I won’t buy books from Amazon; but I have pre-ordered a copy through my local independent bookstore, Mendocino Book Company! I love camping and am seriously considering buying a small tent trailer to get a little more comfort than my current 2-person tent 🙂 Your book will inspire me to create a wonderful camping experience for me and my dog!

I pre-ordered your book back in May. We sold our large camper and I have been talking about and hoping to find get little camper and glamp it up. I thought your book might give me some inspiration and help me to learn more about this glamping. This giveaway is very generous and I am so excited to have an opportunity to visit.

Hi MaryJane! I pre-ordered your book because of the respite I know it will provide from my everyday, chaotic job. I know I’ll be inspired! Can’t wait!

Love,
Ali ~ Farmgirl 12

Can’t wait to read the new book! Mary Jane, take me away!

preorder the book when I first heard about it. I have slept on the trampoline on the farm and in upstairs of the bunkhouse/kitchen (at the first Farmgirl campout) I think now is the time to sleep in the wall tent: ) JoAnn

I’m pre-ordering your book because I love you Outpost book and your Ideabook. Plus I much prefer “Glamping” of my boys idea of camping. Thanks for inspiring me.

I have preordered your glamping book from Amazon because I am an Amazon addict, and am also addicted to curling up with your magazine. It’s just like snuggling down with my favorite blankie! The idea of glamping has been with me since you featured it in your magazine, and I so look forward to discovering all the motivation and information in this book!!

I actually went to amazon.com and ordered the book before I even heard about the giveaway! I found Mary Janes Farm and all things farmgirl while I was out in California trying to settle my parents’ estate, sell their house, and tie up all the loose ends. I was so missing my home in Colorado but discovered “Mary Jane” at Barnes & Noble in Glendora, CA. All of a sudden, I was transported back to my home in nature – and being a Sister On The Fly (#1999) – I really appreciated seeing Mary Jane’s teardrop trailer! Can’t wait for the book!!!

I pre-ordered your book before you posted the Glamping Contest…but here is my reason for ordering it…I use to camp all the time, was made fun of because I liked to “dress up” the camp site…then after twenty years of marriage…I was divorced…no more camping…Now, my ex-sister in law is basically going through the same thing and we’ve been trying to figure out a “girls weekend” to just CHILL…Glamping would be wonderful and refreshing…and even if I don’t get chosen for the pampering…I’ll still enjoy your book as I have your other books, your magazine and the website. Thanks and Many Blessings. Mary Alice

I couldn’t wait to order the Glamping book from Amazon! My husband and I are so interested in buying an older 60’s trailer and fixing it up. We knew there would be great ideas in your new book. We have already starting looking and can’t wait to start collecting all the goodies to put inside. Waiting till Sept. 1 will be the hard part! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your magazine and getting to know so many wonderful farmgirls. It has been a joy! Each issue has new things for me to think about and things to try. I have purchased many subscriptions for friends and relatives because I know they will love it too. You put your heart into it and it shows. Needless to say…I am so looking forward to the Glamping book coming in the mail.

I use the Life books, and Outpost, quite a bit. I have a 68 Ritz Craft that I am remodeling: put in new joists and subfloor, new walls, nice twin bed box spring, new walls coming up. new electrical roughed in. When I get done my home on the range, complete with bandana material curtains, etc., will be rolling!!! With Oscar (my long haired weiner dog and myself on the road.

Because I love all of your other books and love the idea of traveling the roads with a little, tiny teardrop trailer. (there is one down the street that needs revamping that I have my eye on!)

Can’t wait for the book!

after seeing the magazine I couldn’t stand it! have to have the book! the little ’60’s tear drop in my back yard is destined for a make over!

Are you kidding?!?! There’s not a Mary Jane book or magazine I haven’t read yet!!!!

I per-ordered two copies; one for me & one for my best friend, Beth. Both of us fantasize about hitting the road and what better why than Glamping! Love your books & magazine!

I go camping for a week with my son’s boy scout troop every summer. I am one of the few parents willing and/or able to take a week off from work to go with them. Every year I happily sleep in my tent. This year one of the Assistant Scoutmasters brings his camper trailer and invites the other two men to sleep in it. I gave them alot of grief about the sleeping arrangements.

When I got home, what is in my mailbox? My beloved issue of MaryJanes Farm! And what is on the cover? Glamping! At that moment I knew what I would be doing during the next year. Searching for, purchasing and glamming my own little camping oasis! Look out Camp Raymond, I will arriving in style next year.

I await my handbook ~ I’m so glad I get one-day shipping from Amazon.

Hi MaryJane!

How ’bout a set of Buffalo Horns mounted on the front of that shiny Glamper? (my husband & I raise American Bison so we could fix you right up!); and, wouldn’t that be very handy for drying laundry? One thing about “Glampers”; we’re ingenius! lol

Bunches of blessings on your day! ;>)

First of all I would add a MaryJane Farmgirl…. (every Glamper needs at least one!).
Then I would add lace curtains, a fringe awning and some lovely antique accessories. To keep the Farmgirl company, I would add at least two dogs, with suitcase dog beds and some old books, a basket of yarn with lknitting needles and an old oil lamp. A candle chandiler in the bathroom, with some large fluffy towels and some herb scented soaps would make that chore a pleasure! Homemade jellies in the cupboards and a loaf of bread rising on the counter would call all of the Glampers home for supper in short time. Finally, I would place a well worn bible on the counter beside the handmade quilt covered bed, loaded with fluffy pillows. Glamping is wonderful ~ no matter if the location is far far away, a local quiet spot or just a just a dream in your mind.

A beautiful mural painted on the side.

That is a beautiful location for glamping! I think I would dress it up with an outdoor cooking area complete with a small fireplace. Id set up a hammock for relaxing. Maybe even set up an outdoor tub or shower. And then to complete the picture we need a bunch of fun longing women (sisters) to sit around the fire at night roasting marshmallows.

All of the ideas above sound great – would love any of them. Since I recently named my car Gypsy (because I just retired and hope to do some road trips), my suggestion is some old-school Gypsy Caravan colors/styles. I just love lots of Happy colors, and would love to add your book to my library to keep my dreams alive.

I love the idea of an awning, over a lovely deck this would be parked next to, or a cleared spot with THE most comfortable chair for sitting back and watching the sun set. (Or come up, depending on your mood!) I would love to see some color, so flowers would be essential. A walkway or path leading to this haven, planted with flowers that create a scent just for you. A smell that takes you back or calms you down or perks you up! The doors and windows open to the fresh air and maybe something simple brewing inside; your favorite coffee percolating on a camp stove ready to pour into the girliest cup you could find. Take it outside to that cushy chair and aaaahhhh, that’s better. I think there has to be colorful pillows and a fluffy throw for cooler days. Maybe some throw rugs and the grass cut short just around the camper for walking barefoot and squishing your toes in. Ohhhhh, I could go on…;)

How about a white washed picnic table with a vintage linen tablecloth on it. Decorated with a vase of wild flowers and cute candle holders made from mason jars. Big glass pitcher of ice tea and some great company to enjoy it with!!

I love a garden theme, so I would paint a floral motif on part of it, then add some flower boxes – set up a table/chairs. I would then bring out the picnic basket and have a lovely meal, while enjoying the scenery! Jamie V in MT

A Big Disco Ball outside for night-time festivities. A table piled high with grilled meat. A bean bag to collapse in.

Not sure its campin, or Glamin, without my horse. I’d say its havin an extra frying pan and a collapsible fishin rod in my saddle bags. Add a little color to the bed roll with different colored canvas, and grab that new pair of boots to add some flare.

No vintage trailer should be without the World’s Best Kitty Litter for the Luggable Loo.

Oilcloth is good for your table but also to cover stuff in a hurry if the rain comes – and the new patterns are so 40’s! So easy to make placemat, lunch bags, hats, and totes! Seems like it should be a staple in a glamper!!!

I like putting pillar candles in a large mason jar. Lovely light and the breeze will not blow the candles out.

I am new to the concept of Glamping, but I have had plenty of camping experience since I was a child. I am racking my brain to think about the simple, but effective touches that would make a difference in one’s camping experience. After much thought, a pillow came to mind. When I have gone camping-to save space I would use a sack filled with clothes to use as a pillow. Practical, but not very comfortable. For Glamping I am thinking a REAL pillow covered with a lace trimmed case. Now that would be livin’!

When looking for upholstery material for our camper, I was so discouraged at the prices from $24.99 to $59.99/yd. I needed 10 yards. Yet I wanted a durable fabric. I opted to go with painters cloth from Harbor Freight. I spent less than $20 on 2 painter’s cloths, which gave me more than enough fabric. Durable and it looks very nice.

The best Glampin’ tip I have up my sleeve? When no one is looking I sneak out to my glamping tent which is set up way out back, be it for a 1/2 hour of relaxation or a couple of hours to read in peace. They always know where to find me though….LOL.
Thanks for the chance to win your latest and I’m sure greatest book!
Hugs,

My little glamper does not have a screen door and it is nice to have one! I thought about getting one of those magnetic curtains now available, but they aren’t very ‘romantic’ looking. So, I opted to use a flowery sheer shower curtain (a leftover I’d saved). I mounted a cafe rod above the door, I put those little camper circle clamps though the curtain holes, slid them onto the rod and the curtain slides back & forth easily across the doorway easily. It is like a lacey screen…letting the light and breeze through, but not the bugs. You can see through it too. When not in use, I just slide it to one side, knot it and it hangs out of the way. Inexpensive, easy to do…AND glampy romantic.

When camping/glamping I love to find a place to skinny dip! Nothing like nature in the buff…right? Such a free feeling, but mostly I do that in our spring fed creek in the middle of our 100 acres so no one sees me. 🙂

as we love the mini mini campers i say make sure everything you have can be used in at least two different ways. I have a girlfriend who cannot do this and wonders why her trailer is so stuffed and crowded when mine is not. 🙂

I bought a sandwich maker and miniature crock pot for my friend Sue to use when she goes camping in her cute 13-foot Scamp. With the sandwich maker, she can even bake fruit pies with white bread and canned pie filling. For an elegant touch, I recommended that she shake some confectioners’ sugar on top of the pie.

For comfort, we fashioned a pad for the couch from memory foam so that her guests will be comfortable when they accompany her. I’m anticipating my first “Glampin'” trip with her!

I have so enjoyed the Glamping book that I won… Thank you soooooo much. I have read it from cover to cover and cannot wait to start on my own glampor!
