we’re back on southern soil. back from our little rendezvous on the west coast…
here’s a bit about our travels…as captured from my iphone…
{just landed at LAX}
first things first. a visit to rachel ashwell’s original store on montana street…
{a little piece of fluffy heaven at rachel ashwell shabby chic couture}
{heaven, is that you? feathered chandelier at rachel’s store}
we had a wild & rowdy shabby chic/junk gypsy slumber party at rachel ashwell’s famous house…and i had not ONE, but TWO proper cups of english-style tea!
and then it was time to get to work for HGTV! look out world, junk is comin to town!
{we felt so officially tv-ish with the presence of the clapper thing!}
they even built a ‘junk store’ set for us! and yes, you do see a crock pot on a pedestal. HGTV did that just for us. 🙂 classssssy.
{because junk is a girls best friend}
on set with the property brothers…
{jonathon & drew scott. aka: the property brothers (and yes, drew is holding an orange burlesque-style feather fan..look out girls!)}
…who are currently shooting in austin and therefore, ended up beside us on the plane ride home.
we felt it our responsibility to ‘texas-ify’ these canadian boys on the plane ride…and never fear y’all,
they now know all about the proper place to put a cowboy hat when you walk in a room,
the importance of really great tex-mex & the absolute necessity of adding avocados & jalapenos to EVERY meal,
and exactly how to inject the word “y’all” into almost every sentence.
just kidding…we skipped the texas 101 but we did make fast friends and had great shop talk all the way to austin.
*************************
in the end, we had a great trip to LA…we ate falafel,
drank coffee out of cups with no handles (read
here),
& power-walked with rachel (yes, amie thought she was dyinggggg..almost had to call 911).
and then it was time to head back home…
{texas, here we come}
our first sign we were back in texas…
{friendly cowboys. GoD bless TeXAS}
and back in gypsyville…
{hello, home}
annnnnd….the BIG, awesome news on the homefront…
the WALLS are going up on the future first-EvER junk gypsy store!!!
{progress!! corrugated tin salvaged from a texas harbor}
we are sooooo seriously excited about our store…JuNK gypsy finally has a HOME.
we hope to be open late spring 2012 but we’ll keep ya posted as we know more.
after over 10 years, our little company is puttin down roots…
but don’t worry y’all, we were born 2 roam and another roadtrip is just around the corner!

So exciting!!! Ready to see everything come together with the store and show. And I’m jealous that you get to hang with Rachel Ashwell! 🙂

I love you guys! I found you through a photo on Pintrest of all places!! I am just dying to see more. I will add y’all to my blog roll and hope you will take a second to visit me back. I have been making some fun Gypsy inspired pieces all week without knowing you even exist! lol Maybe Skye Jewels will meet Junk Gypsy someday, how fab would that be!! <3 Hugs from Calgary Alberta!
thank you sooo much for finding us and for diggin our style!!! we’ll definitely look you up!!! keep on keepin on, sista!!! XOXOXOXOXO!
What is the official name of your new show? I’ve been searching for it but cant find it!
junk gypsies!!! it’s probably not on the guide yet….we’re not sure of the official air date…sometime in march but we’ll keep ya posted!!!!
My eye spyed that Massey-Harris sign on the side of that little garage-barn on your new property-I have to say my Mom would flip out over that sign. She always talks about the Massey Harris tractor she drove with my grandpa. If you ever come across another one or something similar-please give me a hollar, you know where I’m at every Spring & Fall-ZApp Hall! I’d love to give her one. Love all that is coming together for you all. Safe travels gypsy sisters!
Hugs, Tricia S.
Really Happy for you “Gals” congratulations!
I keep hearing the theme from Rawhide in the sound track of my mind every time I read y’alls latest adventure. In fact…you might consider adding roller skate wheels to the bottom of your boots the way y’all get around! Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’…love it…and y’all.
Deb
P.S. Let’s see if we can Texasify and Gypsify the world…one convert at a time! Insert evil laught here.
roller skates on our boots?! good gracious sista, if we did that we’d have to add “cast and crutches” to our accessories…hmmmm…on second thought, a cast would be something else we could decorate…..
*my bad….make that “laugh”. Dang these nails.

I am a central Texas girl who currently lives in Newfoundland & I love, love, love those Scott boys! They are super cute!
Can’t wait to visit the new JG store during my next trip home!
honeyyyy! you’re a long way from home! come see us when you’re southern roots draw ya back! we’ll keep the home fires burnin! XOXXXOX!!!!
Ladies, when is the show going to be on HGTV’s regular rotation? Can’t wait to see more of y’all’s adventures! (YES, I’m a Texan). : )
Yes. I am with the comment before… not a Texan but so anxious to see y’all’s adventure!
Do you think that y’all will be open in time for the big Round Top show this spring? Would love to visit your shop.
Blessings,
Linda
Hey Amie & Jolie,
I wrote 2 emails to junk gypsy about possible internships with “Junk Gypsy,” I would so appreciate if ya’ll could email me letting me the the possibilities and so forth. Thanks so much and God Bless!!

Just had to let you know you guys have inspired us at the shop to have a prairie prom before our next show…can’t wait!
Glad y’all had a good time…..welcome back home! Can’t wait to shop at new store!
Gorgeous house or home or building, whatever it is 🙂
OH it’s the store silly me. The entrance alone is too too beautiful with all that different colored wood on the walls and the chandelier. Sooooo love it all!
