Junk Gypsies on HGTV!!

HEY!!  I shot that photo!

But these girls deserve the wings!

!~~THIS IS IT~~!!


Finally the time has come after three months filming in Round Top with HGTV. I had the golden opportunity to sew behind the scenes for these talented junk designers and also cater Happy Belly lunches for the HGTV Filmcrew !

To celebrate the premeire of their show tomorrow night, Amie and Jolie have offered 50 Gypsy Dollars 
give-away here on my blog to shop their online store in GYPSYVILLE...so I am going to do an old fashion drawing from a hat...or maybe a Cowgirl boot!
One lucky winner will be announced Monday at noon, so comment away about your own Gypsy Junky Dreamin...

Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. 

Maybe they just need to run free 

till they find someone just as wild to run with them

Sew and Sew

it has to be one of the most serene things to do

Sewing mends the soul

In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until 

you can thread a sewing machine while it's running

~Jeff Bezos~

 

My granddaughter came to spend a few weeks with me, 

and I decided to teach her to sew.  

After I had gone through a lengthy explanation 

of how to thread the machine, 

she stepped back, put her hands on her hips, 

and said in disbelief, 

"You mean you can do all that, 

but you can't play my Game Boy?"

After a few weeks of secret sewing projects for 

the Junk Gypsy HGTV series

(which will premiere in next Spring

and run for 13 weeks)

my cup is full of sewing satisfaction!

Hungry Gypsies and Happy Bellies

 Southern Pecan Pimento Cheese Sandwich

 Happy Belly Muffins loaded with bran, flaxseed, 

apples, carrots, nuts and raisins OH MY!

Granola Goodness

So much to tell, but for now, 
here is a glimpse of our busy days at Happy Belly...

HGTV is in town for 3 months filming a series 

featuring The Junk Gypsies

and we have been catering their lunches

and they stopped by one day to 

film the girls on a lunch break

It's a wrap!

Series will broadcast for 13 weeks beginning March 2012

Gypsyville

My Saturday of packing and moving turned into a magical event when I was asked by two beautiful women, Amie and Jolie, 

the Junk Gypsies to come do a photo shoot in their 

junky barn....hmmm, packing vs playing??

Well, ya don't have to kick this horse twice, so I kicked off 

my crappy shoes, dirty t-shirt fell onto the floor 

and I took the fastest shower since I was 7 years old 

at summer camp, when we were required to take 

3 minute showers!!

These two sisters shine from the inside out
and their beauty radiates some sort of Angelic aura 
that is a combination of glitzy gypsy glam, vintage ripped 
denim country and simple sweetness!
Up until now of my time spent with them has been 
on yoga mats,  dancing in the gravel or noisy local cafes.
But on this day, I witnessed the family business behind the scenes. 
Mom and Dad were always nearby to run gather props, 
extra boots and earrings. The family vibe was genuine
and I sensed the love about each one of them all day long.

Grab your sunglasses because 
"their future's so bright, ya gotta wear shades"
They are filming locally for HGTV series
and HGTV Magazine 
spreading the Junk Love

Gypsies never leave home without them
