Christmas in the Glamper






The Gypsy FarmGirl World Headquarters, aka my glamper, aka Gussie is getting a Christmas makeover this week! Twinkle lights, lanterns, candles, greenery, and lots of burlap and lace of course. I stayed with my neutral tones, with just a few pops of red mixed in. 




 Oh, I also used an entire package of coffee filters! I saw an idea on Pinterest to make a coffee filter tree and decided it would look neat on my cake pedestal, looking all rufflie and lacy. I wanted a simple, nearly Charlie Brownish style tree in the camper. Thanks to one of my friends for rescuing it out of a store dumpster and giving it to me! I wanted to be able to move everything around if I needed to, so I thought the cluster of trees on my tray would work perfect. It can always be moved to the bed, if I want to work in the front of the camper. 




I love my two lanterns. I saw these at Tractor Supply one year for $20.00 each. I didn't have a real "need" for them at the time, so I passed them up. Later in the year, they were on sale for ten dollars each and once again I passed them by. The next week, they were marked down to five bucks each! I decided for that price, I had to get them and let me tell ya, they have made their rounds as wedding decorations and now hang out in the camper.
Burlap poinsettias and red birds are nestled along the garland. I know I could have made the birds, but when I found a great deal on them premade, I jumped on it. 

It's all glowing and cozy, just the way I like it.
Now, here's a little sneak peek of the outside of the glamper. 

It's all rustic, junky, vintage, gypsy, farm girlish...I need to have another photoshoot and I'll share pictures soon! The south wind was trying to blow all my trees over this afternoon.

Happy Thanksgiving


As I sit here and think, I'm so thankful for all of y'all. Your outpouring of support, encouragement and trust in me is amazing! I am appreciative for all of you who have allowed me to create wedding bouquets and be a part of your special day. To the ones my wreaths grace your doors and walls, I say thank you. To the ones who always comment, like, share, pin and believe in me and my little business - you'll never know how much you mean to me. Four years ago, I started this business and told no one personally, I was afraid of failure. It was all social media and the folks I didn't know who believed in my dreams and supported me. Today, as I reflect back all I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm looking forward to continuing down this path and dreaming about fantastic things to come in the future. 

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving day.

Jennifer's Navy Burlap and Lace Wedding

I'm always excited to share and feature customer pictures. Jennifer sent me a few pictures from her recent Virginia wedding. She chose navy, tan, and cream burlap and lace bouquets and boutonnieres. 



This has to be the cutest little ring bearer! He is absolutely adorable!
Thank you to Jennifer for sharing pictures and letting me be a part of your wedding day! I send my congratulations and best wishes to you and your new husband for many years of love and happiness together!
