Organic-Vintage Gypsy-Adventure Loving Life Ahead

OKAY, I’ve never been much of a vegetable gardener - that’s what farmer’s markets are for, right?  But I find myself  researching organic gardening these days. Mostly for health reasons, but I can feel some primal call to the wild that makes me dream of plucking herbs and vegetables for my simple meals.

Nothing wrong with that, of course, except that this is coming on the Eve of my Airstream Adventure Days – seems a bit incongruous now doesn't it? But I accept that I love a good challenge, so I’ll just have to figure out a way to grow light and grow vertical.

There must be a way, and that is just one of the pieces of this gypsy-life puzzle that I am looking forward to solving. 

PS, if you have a suggestion or a solution I would love to hear about it. I’m soaking up a whole new life and loving the adventure. 

AIRSTREAM WANTED

I’ve been doing so much exciting research and planning for my Airstream that it’s sometimes hard for me to remember (ahem) that I don’t have one yet. The first thing I do every morning – even before coffee!! -  is to check all the Craigslist posts from San Diego to Seattle, then I check eBay, then I grab a cup of coffee and cruise around the internet to see what others have done to renovate their personal Airstream pride and joy.

I love getting ideas from the creativity of others, don’t you? But I have to admit, right now the biggest issue I have is the dichotomy of  my intellectual love of serene, slick, simplicity….

Airstream sleek and serene

and my purely gut attraction to the bohemian. I trust simplicity (it doesn’t take much emotional energy, does it?)…bohemian, on the other hand, is more quirky, more flashy and more primal - and that speaks to a part of me that rarely gets heard.

Airstream Bohemian Gypsy

One thing I know for sure – my imagination sees my Airstream in the middle of a field a-la-gypsy-caravan….and that shouldn’t be denied much longer.

Decor, after all, is just stuff and stuff can always come and go. An adventurous, passionate attitude, on the other hand is far more intoxicating….who knows, maybe I’ll find a way to marry my two opposite sides into one quirky-yet-simple gypsy Zan who follows the call of her own Wild.
