It started out with a post over on Apartment Therapy. Old gypsy caravans! How cool. I want three! Buy me one from here.
Then I wandered over to Shorehouse Chic and she had an incredible post about the Methodist tent community in New Jersey. My old boss used to talk about this and it always sounded cool. Now that I’ve seen pictures, to say I am inspired by these tents would be an understatement. Stunning. Breath-taking. I want four! CLICK HERE.
Don’t even get me started on tiny houses and yurts…I’ll be here all day…
I had a deep-seated fear of gypsies as a child. My parents would always threaten to “sell me to the gypsies” when I was being naughty. One day, while shopping in downtown Chicago, just when I was being particularly bad, we spotted a group of gypsy women and I completely panicked. But I’ve always loved those caravans, ever since the Wizard of Oz, I think.
Ohh…tiny houses and tents and gypsy caravans. It’s like fantasy-dwelling day! I love them all.
Joanne, my parents did not threaten to sell me to the gypsies, but did hold me up over an open-mouthed hippo at the Brookfield Zoo. So, you fear the gypsies…I’ll take the hippos.
When my Mom was little her parents would threaten to give her to “Zigga Bones”. He was apparently a crazy old man who used to eat of garbage cans in their neighborhood. My Mom carried on the “Zigga Bones” name when we were little. She still threatens to call Zigga Bones to come get me…
Hey…thanks for the link love!! LOVE that boxcar photo! It’s funny….I worked so hard to get out of my tiny post-collegiate urban dwelling (um…500 sq foot 1BR share. good times!) and now I’m lusting after tents and gypsy caravans! Yup…the grass is always greener.
And yurts? Swoon.
You really need to see the tents in person…It is something.
I want a gypsy caravan! Do they come with a Johnny Depp ala Chocolat? How perfect would that be? I’d like to at least have a VW bus painted all funky some day.
I have now looked at the pages you linked. If I leave my family and run away to become a gypsy, it is all your fault. I hope you can live with yourself!
Johny Depp in Chocolat. Damn. See, I didn’t even think of that. Can I come too!?!?!?
mmm.yes. there’s a great one in the movie stardust, too.
