Thursday, a living room tent, and Etsy

    "Shady Lake" is a mixed media painting on a map by rachelaustin

    It's getting too cold for outdoor camping, but the weather is perfect for setting up a tent in the living room. So gather your blankets and sheets and use this and this to inspire your construction, but leave it to Etsy for all the indoor camping extras the whole family is going to need...

    Yes, even indoor campers need fire and food (but know that not all of it needs to be real):

    "basic campfire package" by mysticwill

    "portable smores" by katystinykitchen

    "The Campout" handpainted glass plates by nunostudio

    And don't forget that every camper needs his or her own personal light to keep the night time creatures and shadows away...

    "foreveReady flash" (a child's all wood flashlight) by ForeverandAfters

    "The Mason Firefly" (a mason jar light) by themasonry

    ...unless, of course, the campers are the ones making the scary shadows and cuddling with the night time creatures....

    orangemoontoys has an array of shadow puppets and even kits to make your own.

    "Little grey-eyed owl" by squishyfish

    "Brown Owl with Rainbow Feet" also by squishyfish (her owls have such great faces and feet!)

    And let's not forget the importance of classic camping games...

    "Animal Track ID Memory Game Set" by thewhimsytree

    And with the dying embers of the fire, there is always so much to record and so much to write "home" about...

    "Teeny Tiny Camping Trip Stamps Set" by Tresijas

    "Bird Watcher Letterpress Journal" by OldSchoolStationers

    And once the little ones are sound asleep and dreaming under a night sky of their own making - the following items are just the things grown-up indoor campers need...

    "Toasted Smores Soy Candle" by Buzzabee

    "Vintage Thermos" via JennyHopscotch (filled with hot chocolate... or a hot toddy)

    3 vintage ghost stories (2 for the kids, but Poe for the adults) via coriandervintage

    "Bright Plaid Wool Blanket" by AllieRuth

    "Log, Soft Sculpture" by sallyenglanddesign

    With indoor plumbing and only imaginary mosquitoes - this is, without a doubt, my kind of roughing it...
