I have a 5m bell tent. i take pink tea lights, table cloths tea cosy, patchwork quilt for the bed spotty bunting all the round the inside. Rugs for the floor. a tealight chandelear for middle poll ... oh i love it I've made most of the stuff myself and have a great sense of satisfaction. Just think shabby chic and go for it. P.S. i think my oh secretly likes it. look through a copy of country living for ideas. charity shops are a great place for old hand embrodered tablecloths.

prettiness is every ware, you just have to look for it.
Your tent sounds COOL Mrs Squeeky... I also made our table cloth and bunting - 1st time on a sewing machine since school...You are right though it does give a sense of satisfaction to know you made it- and nobody else will have the same as you.
Thanks for the ideas.
