Festival Setup: Building a Vintage Cooler Checkout Stand

When I found out that the Glitter Glamper was going to be setting up glamp on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds this past spring for their Kickoff to Summer, I had to come up with an outdoor checkout stand display. Yes, I already had a heavy duty retail cashwrap tucked away in my storage trailer, butContinue reading “Festival Setup: Building a Vintage Cooler Checkout Stand”

How to Re-Web a Vintage Lawn Chair

I LOVE to buy old, vintage things, and return them to their original glory…especially vintage camping related things that are full of a history of memories! Nothing says relaxation like lounging by a vintage trailer in an equally vintage aluminum lawn chair, and I definitely have a soft spot for these retro beauties. In factContinue reading “How to Re-Web a Vintage Lawn Chair”

2021 MN State Fair

The “Great Minnesota Get-Back-Together” was awesome! Sure, we had a pretty rainy first weekend, and yes, post-pandemic attendance was down over 40% this year with the fair overall. But despite these challenges, the Glitter Glamper’s business only dropped 13% from 2019! Now, mind you, it feels wrong to even compare this record low post-pandemic yearContinue reading “2021 MN State Fair”

The Glamper’s First Gig!

Wow, I just realized that while I share things on Facebook, I haven’t posted in my blog since May! Part of that has just been how crazy busy it’s been this summer!

Turn Old Holiday Cards into Glittery Decor!

Christmas time is the perfect time of year to do messy, glittery projects around the house. You can always blame the lingering glitter on your aunt who sent you that glittery card, or whoever wrapped their gifts in glitter paper, haha! It seems we all have just a little more time on our hands thisContinue reading “Turn Old Holiday Cards into Glittery Decor!”

Glitter Glamper Progress: Furnace Removal & Shelf Cubby

As soon as I first set foot in the Glamper I knew that the furnace would end up having to come out. The doors on these vintage trailers are very small to begin with, and the original placement of this huge, old furnace impedes the entryway even more. Not to mention the safety issues…these furnacesContinue reading “Glitter Glamper Progress: Furnace Removal & Shelf Cubby”

Glitter Glamper Progress: Tin Ceiling Tiles!

It’s time to show you some more progress on the Glitter Glamper! As I mentioned in my previous Glamper renovation posts, my goal with the Glamper is to make it what I need it to be, yet still preserve the original birch paneling inside. The birch inside the Glamper is in amazing vintage condition, however,Continue reading “Glitter Glamper Progress: Tin Ceiling Tiles!”
