ROUND TOP {Fall 08}: Junk Gypsies
On a hot summer day in the mid-90s, driving through the back roads of Texas, heading back to my little apartment in College Station, TX, I had an epiphany. I can remember driving down the road in my old Dodge Omni, sun beating down on my shoulders, hand out the window catching the wind, as Martina McBride’s ‘Independence Day’
earth I was headed… Life’s ‘black top’ has led me to a sweet spot in life where I have finally met some soul sisters who have driven the same roads, to the same spot in Texas, with the same joy in their hearts ~ the Junk Gypsies.
I know that so many of you also know that spirit of freedom, the joy of junk, and the celebration of whatever is around the bend. That is why we 
are all so drawn the Junk Gypsies ~ they represent who we are down deep inside. Whether you live in a downtown loft, spend you nights at PTA meetings & soccer games, or work 9 to 5 in a cube ~ your heart is longing for the open road & your own star on the map. The Junk Gypsies allow us to dream of all that we can be. That is their mantra… “A junk gypsy lives for the Wild Blue Yonder and all the wonders it holds in store.”
But enough about you & me {wink, wink}… what did the Junk Gypsy crew bring to Round Top Antique Week this Fall 08?
As you drive North on 237, heading into Warrenton, TX {one of the four tiny towns that make up Round Top Antique Week}, you will see the guideposts pointing you to the Junk Gypsy tent {Pics ABOVE}. For one week, every Spring and every Fall, the Junk Gypsies set up shop at that spot in Warrenton, offering vintage wares * hip tees * fly boots * and enough spunky spirit to fuel your soul for another six months.
Can’t make it to Warrenton & Round Top Antique Week?? No problem!! The Gypsies have a solid website that will inspire, elate, and provide all of the “rebel-rousing” goods & notions you are looking for…
There is another way to catch the spirit of the Junk Gypsies ~ last month the girls {mainly Ashlyn} set up the Road Rambler Cafe where you can connect to other Junk Gypsies around the world. Check it out HERE!!
