Friday Favourites ..... Things I would like to Own

Some larger items I would like to own

Upon my travels through my 'virtual journey' and amongst the web of beautiful photos,

I've come across so many things I would like to own,

so I thought I would show you a few of the wonders

that I swoon over .......... and think one day, I might own!
(if I have the room!)

1. Camper Van :), 2. Constance 1956 Vintage Caravan, 3. Vox Stellarum at Wire Lock,
4. tea rooms, 5. I want a VW, 6. Traditional English Gypsy caravan

My grandad and gran had a campervan when I was growing up and I loved going for trips out in this, especially when we used to pull up and put on a brew!

My parents have a caravan and I used to go on holidays in one, by the sea.  I would love to own one to make it into a garden studio, customised by my own fair hands, of course.

I have never been on a narrow boat which is a house boat, I would love to go on holiday on one of these as I like the idea of taking things very slowly on the water.

As you know I love my tea and really love going to tea shops for afternoon tea. I would love to own a tea shop that is combined with knitting and crocheting, and of course cake, and chocolate!
What a combination! lol

As for the Bug car, I have always thought these were fun cars and very girly especially the ones with a flower holder by the stearing wheel.

Gypsy Caravans look so beautiful and I think if I have enough space in my garden I would love one at the bottom of it, as a sanctuary of peace and quiet, to relax in at the end of the day.

So there are my lovely finds. If anyone owns one of the above, it would be great to hear about it or about anything else one covets ............

Pale Gypsy Collection

1. Cavalo / Horse [EXPLORE], 2. spring is a gypsy with flowers in her hair, 3. Fefa, 4. look

Pale Gypsy in the Wind

If only we were free,

to travel and roam in the breeze,

following the cotton clouds,

until the stars fill the sky.

Until rest calls upon our weary heads,

 we pull up the pale horses

and put ourselves to rest

upon our small comfy cabin beds.

When the sun rise tinkers with our eyes,

 we wake to start another day,

and wandering far and wide,

following the cotton clouds all the way.

Following on from Monday's Gypsy Caravan post, flicking through photos on Flickr with a gypsy theme,

above are the beauties I found entitled it 'Pale Gypsy'.

Gypsy Caravans and Wanderlust

I love films, especially period dramas, anything real or true to life, romantic comedies, and thrillers, films that my man really doesn't like! 

He's more into sci-fi stuff so we have to compromise on viewing material. 

Last weekend he chose a film called Stardust which was released in 2007, 

a fantastic fantasy film with witches, scorcery and magic. 

It set me off on a
Gypsy Caravan hunt

 as there was this beautiful Yellow Gypsy Caravan

in the film which conjured up images of

wanderlust and the meandering Romany lifestyle of days gone by,

 evoking my free spirit and explorative nature that is kept buried

 beneath day to day life of the 21st Century.  

1. Romany caravan, Normandy, France, 2. red caravan, 3. Vardo - Old photo, 4. Gypsy caravan, 5. Rodney get his own tarces, 6. Caravan Bed


My imagination was off, running wild,

conjuring up all the beautiful interiors I could make for a caravan,

especially as I am in the middle of crocheting some

 'granny squares' for a blanket yet to come.

I could almost feel the dewy grass between my toes,

the warm sun beating down on my back,

and freedom from the chains of grey, dull winter skies

and dancing gidgly to the magical tunes in the fields of rye.
