So we set sail tomorrow night for a week of secluded camping with our 5m bell tent. We have used it before and i keep adding to our pretty things crap

I have sheepskins, throws, duvet, coffee table, tin chest.. Also a mile of bunting Blush wicker hampers x2

Any suggestions for lights, solar or battery best? Has anyone seen any bargains are chandelier worth it? Do i need to buy one online?

Anything else that you would recommend.

Ladies please help, we NEED to be super glampy.

I might even post a pic if it looks super lovely....

Watching with interest. Just bought 5m bell tent and am booked for camping at the end of next week. Am praying that whatever container load the soul pads are in docks in time so that I can go away in it rather than in the popups! (Already have bunting and fairy lights)

We have the Ikea fairy lights .

That sounds so wonderful, can I ask how you transport everything? Do you have a trailer or can you manage in a car? I would love some wicker storage.for the tent, but I think I'd have to leave one of the children behind to fit it in.

This is what you need, as found by shiraz who should be on commission by now: www.thewhitecompany.com/sale/home-and-fragrance/tiered-hanging-tealight-holders/?awc=4802_1373498151_d81693443a36a845f8193b19b8da6b56&CM_MMC=Affiliates--AWIN--Autumn2012-_-text&ProGrpCode=AW12

They are gorgeous with battery tea lights (for in-tent safety).

Also a bell tent table to beautify yourself (google hooked on glamping as I am struggling with links on my phone).

For light, storm lanterns are good and quite glampy. We have the oil ones but I think you can buy electric ones too if memory serves.

I am also v jealous about all your wicker!

Ok so i bought dragonfly solar lights x 3. £6
Hurricane lamps x 2 matalan reduced to £5. Really good size :-)
Beach mats for the doorway. Homevbargains
Picnic blankets x 3 Tesco. Reduced £4 each
Trugs for storage x 4

I'm thinking that will do the job for this year. Might need the obelink sun shade jobby and a nice chandelier next year :-)

We have a campervan to transport it all. So the children can still come, although i'd be more likely to leave DH!

I bought a hanging elephant mobile like this and the White Company chandelier.

Bought a pouffe and plan to take that when we go for a week and use as clothes storage as well as seating!

Also bought some old saris from the charity shop (£1 - total bargain) and going to do some king of draping with it, not sure what yet.
