Friday Finds #16: A Glamping Vacation

Happy Friday, Friends! This week has blown by and I’m glad it has because next week is my first-ever glamping vaction! It’s just a 2-night mini vacay to get away from it all and immerse myself in nature.

Hubby and I booked a charming little yurt located on a mostly private, small lake in Wisconsin. It’s less than a 2-hour drive from the house and is settled on 40 acres of scenic land. Kayaks and canoes are available for our use and I can’t wait to get out on the lake and just chill.

I was surprised to find this little getaway so close to home. The yurt is secluded but located not too far from a small Wisconsin town and winery! We’re going mid-week so things should be pretty peaceful. I’ll be sure to take pictures and let you know about my first experience with glamping. There’s no bathroom – just a port a potty! We do have a portable cast iron grill we’re taking with us for cooking. Should be fun!

Here’s this week’s Friday Finds:

Since my little yurt vacation is on the horizon, I thought I’d share this gorgeous Whidbey Island retreat that features a few little glamping units on the property. But seriously, you have to see the main house which is gorgeous!

You’ve probably heard that wallpaper is making a comeback and it’s easy to see why when you see this dining room transformation.

Here’s a super cute fall craft idea for making wax paper lanterns with pretty fall leaves that can be used with battery-operated votives.

Have I shared my Apple Upside Down Cake recently? I was so nervous the first time I made it but it was really easy and I think it looks so pretty. Perfect for apple picking season!

Finally, with the chaos of fires and hurricanes happening today, you might enjoy a zen moment with a little greenery. Whether you indulge in a new houseplant or add some garden mums outdoors, plants can help with relaxation.

Hope you all have an amazing weekend – whether that means hunkering down at home for a little me time or trying something new!
