A Magazine Favorite: Camping with Style

Normally I would be posting on Domino tonight, but I got distracted by these photos in the newest issue of Country Living. It was the Cath Kidston tent (above) that did it...

Or maybe it's because my secret dream is to live in a little cabin somewhere...

I just flipped over these photos...

I'm really longing to go to our little rental cabin in the High Sierras.

I don't know if I'll make it this year, but I'm so daydreaming...

Dumbwit Tellher ♥, July 19, 2009 6:08 PM: Kath Kitson I adore. The photos remind me of summers on the lakes of Minnesota but ours included a not so cool outhouse! Lovely photos.
Christy, July 19, 2009 5:46 PM: Wow these really reminded me of my summers as a kid spent at camp. Love them -- and that tent is so stylish. Mine is the faded blue utility variety!

Simply Mel, July 19, 2009 8:25 PM: These photos could easily change my mind about camping!

Keep daydreaming...

Carolyn G, July 19, 2009 11:02 PM: I don't like camping but those pictures actually made me want to be camping!!
Jordan Clarke, July 20, 2009 5:26 AM: Too cute! I love that tent especially - makes me feel like a kid again.
nathalie, July 20, 2009 7:40 AM: i totally understand you, especially pic 1 and 2. gosh vacation pls
Faye, July 20, 2009 2:53 AM: Great pictures. Gotta love Cath Kidston tents. My friend was the proud owner of the most awesome Cath Kidston teepee ever, with a cowboys and indians design printed all over it.

We smugly pitched it at a music festival a couple of years ago only to have it collapse before our very eyes when we crawled out of it the next morning! It was sadly unfixable and never to be used again..good memories though :)
Jill of All Trades, July 20, 2009 6:10 AM: I so love these pictures. We have a cabin and would love to have some of these accessories.
Janet, July 20, 2009 7:35 AM: I want to go camping in that tent, fill it with puffy pillows and an air mattress. I'm ok with that.
chicknamedhermia, July 20, 2009 4:00 AM: I love that first one ....it's probably the closest I've ever come to wanting to go camping!
Ali, July 20, 2009 10:03 AM: I need need neeeeed that tent! Oh my gosh, I am in love with this photo shoot. Camping never looked so good!
hawthorne girl, July 20, 2009 10:50 AM: When I go camping, friends always tease me about how I bring too much stuff with me. Things like rugs and toss pillows and lanterns to hang in the trees. But guess where they all want to hang out--my tent!!

Great photos!
Tina Tarnoff, July 20, 2009 11:56 AM: I'm not much for camping, I'm a person that nees her nice bathroom in the morning where I can style myself into an acceptable looking person. And I also hate the bugs.

But, I suppose I wouldn't mingd a nice cabin, in the woods, somewhere quiet. But no bears please!
Living and Loving In L.A., July 21, 2009 8:08 AM: I love those chairs on the dock! I'd kill for some chairs in those cute floral patterns. So retro-Americana.
Joanne, July 21, 2009 12:57 PM: So pretty and peaceful! :)
The Cottage Cheese, July 23, 2009 4:55 AM: My Mom gave me this issue of Country Living, it is fantastic! I dream of the day I can have a little cabin or perhaps just a lovely plot of land on which I can camp "all fancy" every weekend. Someday...
