Junk Gypsy BLT

Hey y'all---- my friends the Junk Gypsies spent almost half a year putting the pen to the paper- or the fingers on the keyboard to document for us what they've done as a family for the past 18 years.  The girls holed themselves up at The Wander Inn and wrote, wrote and wrote. Story after story after story. Their lives, their course (or not so much) dirtroads, blacktop, roadtrips, junkin, DIY, flea markets and their love of family- which is by far the biggest part of their business and the reason they have a business..... It was grueling work- really.... for two free spirits to be holed up day after day.....
On one of my trips up there I took some treats to keep them going.....



Yes- Sugar Cookies.... The girls may or may not have been on a sugar high for a few days.... anywho- I digress.... this book they've written, Yes, it is finished, complete, coming off the press.....  And guess what-----
Well, I've often wondered how some people get to 'read' a book before it's actually out for sale- like some of the authors I enjoy are always blogging about their friends 'so and so's book is so great....' and on and on.  Recently I received notice that the girls were needing people to be part of their 'BLT' and I'm not talking Bacon Lettuce Tomato (although that sounds ReaLLy good right now!)  I'm talking Book Launch Team!  So I filled out an application...and....guess....what...........
I was selected to be part of this team!

Completely Excited to be part of this team!!!! The Junk Gypsy Book Launch Team was given first digital read of this 'guide for junkers, dreamers, and gypsies' of all sorts.  It is an honor to sit at night when all is quite and read through it- but  Let me just say- the artwork.... well- you can see for yourself!  Quotes like Crazy throughout the book... as in ones you will want to write and hang on a wall, in your journal or just on a wall!! 

I'm kind of giddy getting to read this before it is released to the rest of the world- Oh and the cool part- YOU can enter to WIN a Weekend in Round Top- stay at their Wander Inn, airfare, Lunch with the girls, and a shopping spree worth $500.  Yes, you just read all that correctly!!!!  I cannot enter- so I'll gladly give you the opportunity- go to Junk Gypsy Book and enter!




These girls have stayed true to their roots through this entire 'ride' that they've been on.  I haven't seen them change yet- and I know that cannot be said for many people that have had success in their businesses.  This family is R-E-A-L and they Live life!  Come share in their journey... Pre- order your book today.... It comes out at the beginning of October- just in time for fall- curl up with this book and a warm cup of whatever you like to drink and get ready to laugh, cry and dream....

These pics are from a fellow BLT member... However- Pics in the book are from our friend April Pizana who is down right FAB with a camera!!!!  She caught one of my sweet girl at Junk O Rama prom y-e-a-r-s ago- that was my first opportunity to see her work, and let's just say I fell head over heels for it! April shot pics of our Barn Sale last year- what a treat to have her in the Barn!












Writing a book takes a l-o-t of time! The girls poured out so much for this- they want all of you to enjoy it for years and years and years to come!  Go ahead and go to the link provided earlier in the post and pre-order your copy today!!!

 Speaking of Junk Gypsy Prom O Rama.....  Here is a throwback ---




Just a little throwback to a Prom about 7 years ago..... Texas Antiques Week/s is upon us.... are you headed to Round Top, Warrenton, Carmine, Burton, Shelbyville or anywhere in between???  Let us know!  We will be out and about. We are most excited about the evening of September 22nd.... The Gathering at Round Top is in it's 2nd year and we are thrilled to not just 'be there' this year- but to 'be part' of this year.  God has been putting words on my heart- I pray they will bless those with open ears to hear them.


I hope you have a fabulous week!  I'm headed back to my 'reading chair' to get more of the book read!!!  Go ahead and pre- order yours........

  1. Hey ladybug, I can't wait to see you at The Gathering. Got my tickets several weeks ago and have been giddy with excitement!
    And about that amazing book, I can't stop going back to it. It is so full of heart a day soul and inspiration. I was soooo excited to get picked for the BLT too. What an honor to get to help spread the word about such a wonderful book and their awesome Journey.
    And regarding April... she is the bomb-diggity. She got some pics at the barn sale of my jewelry last year. Love her work!
