CHRISTMAS GARLANDS

 

My most favorite decorating for the Holidays has to be the use of fresh greenery. I just love how it naturally spruces up my home. Wether you leave it simple or jazz it up with berries and bows, it is sure to be a showstopper.

I always find free tree trimmings at our local brush pile.While everyone is dumping them , I am hauling them away! Why spend lots of money on garlands already made up, when in one afternoon, you can create your own for FREE!

All you need is some wire , maybe some cable ties, and a cutter.

Grab a few branches, wire them together, and continue until desired length is achieved. Then for the end, just wire a bunch on backwards so the pretty part is the end. That's it! If some of your branches are short, or you need to go  back and fill in, I use cable ties for this, but wire works also.

                                        

Here are some decorating ideas using fresh garlands...

GLAMPING with the QUEEN

Glamping: Bitches with Hitches

 

  I had the most AMAZING photographer doing a photoshoot for my little Cinderella. It was a day I will never forget.  I truly am flabbergasted and floored by the beauty of their photos and slideshow. Words honestly can’t express how happy I was to see them, and how grateful I am for their presence, patience in all our crazy foolishness, and coming into my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you !

  Not only are the pictures amazing, but this husband and wife team (Gloria and Ron ) are great people down to their core. The extra special time and effort they put into the shoot, pictures and video was above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. It was a joy for me to work with such dedicated and talented photographers. I love each and every picture, and will cherish them forever.Thanks for the memories, thanks for the fun .

Naked Cake

 Cocoa~Pumpkin cake with Vanilla Pudding Butter~cream

I came up with this recipe because I was craving pumpkin something, and my hubby hates it.

So I added cocoa to mask the pumpkin, and to my surprise we both LOVE it.

 Best thing about a naked cake is the simplicity of the frosting. Anyone can do it, and it let's the beautiful cake be seen. Here's the recipe...

1 box  yellow cake mix
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 small can pumpkin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup water
1 egg
 Blend these in a bowl until well combined. I just used a fork. Spread in two 8 inch  greased cake  tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Let cool. Frost. 

Frosting
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
~Blend these together in bowl using a fork

Add 1/2 stick soft butter
~Mix using a hand mixer on high for 3 to 4 minutes until it is well mixed and a bit fluffy.

Smooth onto cooled cake using a spatula or butter knife.
 

ROSE ARTISAN WHEAT BREAD

While this bread looks difficult to make, it is not at all. It is however a bit more time consuming, but with the cuteness factor makes up for that.

I made this using my bread machine. It's just your basic 1.5 lb wheat bread. You could do it the homefaker way by using thawed frozen bread dough also.

 I  divided the dough into 4 equal parts . Put one aside for the roses and leaves. The other 3 you make into long ropes about 12 inches long, and braid them. Put in a warm place and let rise til doubled.

In a small dish beat 1 egg with a teaspoon of water.Brush your braided loaf lightly with this mixture.Set aside.

The remaining dough you make into a rose by making flat long strips and rolling them. Leaves are just oval pieces that you pinch one end to make a point. Put these pieces in the refrigerator when complete.

 

After your braided loaf has doubled in size, bake in a 350 preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and add your roses and leaves. Apply your eggwash to these using a small brush. For color you will just put a drop on your brush and add where you want it. When finished put the decorated loaf back in the oven for another 20 minutes. That's it....ENJOY! 

Vintage Trailer For Hire

I have been restoring a vintage 1966 Shasta caravan for the past 6 months. She is everything I ever wanted and more. While I will be taking her out glamping, I also want to share her with the world.

This is the reason I decided to rent her along with vintage props and homemade desserts for weddings and themed parties. Here are some pictures.

CINDERELLA

I just wanted to share the restoration pictures of my 1963 Shasta, named Cinderella .

The Boudoir....

Chantern...reloved lanterns with sparkle...

Dinette cushions which can get swapped out with a Victorian couch...

before and after...

Her crown..which is also a removeable fire pit ring...
Her kitchen is a recycled vintage buffet...

The loveseat for very fancy camping....

Her pretty pottie...the curtains can be drawn on both sides for privacy...under the chair is a Thetford porta pottie...flushable of course..and can be removed easily behind the lace curtain concealing it...

The  Royal throne....hee hee

Her custom painted buffet with a vintage lavabo sink...the 5 gallon water container is in the cupboard above, which is brought down to the lavabo via clear tubing...I use the spigot for the faucet, and the water drains to a 5 gallon bucket under the trailer...when the water is gone, I empty the bucket...then refill the water container if needed...

Her steed for decoration while parked...
