Lipstick Gypsy LAB

 



You never know what kind of experimenting or designs are coming out of the GYPSY LAB!

 

But I will tell you this it is HUSTLIN' and BUSTLIN' on a daily basis!

 

I am constantly inspired by pretty much EVERYTHING, and cannot keep up with the creations and designs that run through my head every moment of every day, even in my sleep!

 

Just a small slice of my idea of GYPSY "HEAVEN" :-)

 

 

After a time of experimenting, playing, trial and error, I have FINALLY mastered the PINK band for my cuffs to my liking and they are READY to wear!

 

 

Cowgirl Heart, Gypsy Soul that's how I roll! ;-)

 

 

Made to order, custom Rosettes...thee absolute PERFECT accessory to the LG Shabby Slip Dresses! Or anything else you can think of!

 

 

And last, but not least...I couldn't RESIST!

 

I am not from the SOUTH...but I sure could be!

 

I LOVE everything Southern...the people, the food, the music, the style, the TWANG, I LOVE IT ALL!

 

Hope you enjoyed that little SMIDGE of the GLAM GOODS, fresh outta the GYPSY LAB...stay tuned, always more comin' 'round the bend!

 

Git yer LIPSTICK on!

From WAY back THERE...to HERE...Spreadin' the CUFF LOVE!

 

Way, way, WAY back in the DAY...

 

A sweet lil' ol' (albeit rough & tumble) GYPSY CUFF was born!

 

On a day long ago, a GYPSY, wearin' thee PERFECT shade of PINK LIPSTICK was in her garage TOOLIN' around and HAMMERIN' about :-) with her LOVE for ALL THINGS old, worn, vintage and tarnished, she began taking note of the rather LARGE collections she had begun to amass!

With a well LOVED vintage leather belt in hand she thought.... what an AMAZING wrist CUFF, like 70's style,

she could make with this piece of vintage finery!

So she made one!

 

She wore this re-purposed vintage leather   tooled belt  CUFF for some time. Everywhere she wore it,EVERYONE remarked about her creation! AND ......

wanted one of their own! So being the EXPRESSIVE GYPSY that she is.....

she HAMMERED a vintage spoon and with the stamping set her HORSESHOEING DAD

had given her as a girl.......

she EXPRESSED herself and declared her

GYPSY SOUL!

 

 

She began filling orders as fast as she could.

AND then a MAGICAL THING happened!

A fellow GYPSY came across these very

CUFFS on her journey and simply HAD to HAVE a BOAT LOAD!!! WHOA!

The two GYPSIES worked together to

tweak here and add there and Wah-lah!

A GYPSY STAR was BORN!!!

 

 

For years she kept her GYPSY FRIENDS

HAPPY with her One-of-a-kind CREATIONS!

Although the market went WILD when these hit, not only in sales, but others trying to re-create this NIFTY DESIGN! Accept NO SUBSTITUTE! :-)

She continues to CREATE and EVOLVE

these CUFFS as they have been a BEST SELLER for her for years! And these ORIGINAL LG DESIGNS are still very sought after!

She recently created this TRUE-BLUE-ORIGINAL-FEW-of-its-KIND-never-made-before
LEGEND CUFF! (Git ya ONE)

Ask Calamity Jane she knew a thing or TWO ;-)
You heard it here first ;-)

If they try to reproduce...ACCEPT NO IMITATIONS! 

 

PINK...ALL of the LG CUFFS can now be made in PINK...

LOVE PINK
SWEET PINK

THINK PINK...must have PINK!!!

 

If you've been ridin' the GYPSY CARAVAN from the beginning you know this story! If you're a newbie ,WELCOME to the WONDERFUL WORLD of LIPSTICK GYPSY DESIGNS!

Kick up your COWGIRL BOOTS...throw up those arms stacked high with CUFFS and EXPRESS your WILD SIDE and join in the FUN!

For the Love of Dog

 

 

Many of you that know me or follow LIPSTICK GYPSY realize that DOGS are a true PASSION of mine!

 

Not only do I simply ADORE DOGS, but am a huge advocate for spay/neuter and ADOPT/RESCUE!

 

 

Considering this, I have created a collection which I have dubbed JuNk yArD DoG!

 

I enjoy every moment of creating, as well as manifesting, these pieces for my line.

 

 

Most important is the fact that a portion of ALL proceeds from the sales in this collection will go to supporting ANIMAL RESCUE groups and no kill shelters.

 

 

Fellow DOG LOVERS be assured that ANY purchase from this collection will be YOU supporting this IMPORTANT cause. Let's, together give HOMELESS DOGS a chance at a FUR-EVER HOME!

 

 

I have rescued and adopted many DOGS and have not once been sorry! Quite the contrary, they have enriched my life beyond belief! Each and everyone has been LOYAL, HONEST, and TRUE!

 

 

Give your DOG/DOGS a GIANT HUG and tell them there are people in the world that truly do LOVE and CARE!

 

The pieces will be listed very soon in the Etsy Shop...so be sure to check them out!

Bodhi & Yodi offer WAGS and KISSES!

Keep it Gypsy!

UNFIT BLOG MOM!!!

I take complete responsibility for my ABUSE and NEGLECT of this BLOG!!! Certainly if it were a child it would be removed from my care immediately!

 

But today I am starting anew! I am making an oath to do better by you my lovely Gypsy Junkie readers and this sweet blog I have neglected oh-so-terribly! I don't want to place blame, however, FB makes it TOO easy to throw out a little blurb and be done. Again, the fault is mine!

 

So forgive me dear readers and if you need a what's been going on in the Gypsy Camp recap for the last few months...do check out the LG Facebook Biz Page 

 

Soooo...rather than back track let's go forward from here :-) So, So, So much happening in Lipstick Gypsy's world, but let's start with current news...

 

Check out the Facebook Biz page for a what's-left-of-the-tee's-SALE! Next...many of you know how much I use and LOVE my 1965 "TIN GYPSY" vintage trailer! She will always be my #1 and I will never let her go! All the BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS, TLC, and TIME I spent on her caused a MAJOR ADDICTION!

 

Before Lipstick

 

After Lipstick!

 

Now for the addiction part, I recently purchased my 3rd VINTAGE TRAMP TRAILER...obviously obsessed!

 

I just keep stackin' 'em up in our drive...

 

 

Before...to be cont. :)

 

This is ROAMY...18 ft. 1972 ARISTOCRAT!

 

I have a theme in mind but really need to get in there and get a feel for her to know if I'm headed in the right direction with the decor I am contemplating :-) I love the fact that this one has a "potty" the only one of my 3 that does! That means longer ROAD TRIPS!!!

 

Lots of blood, sweat, and tears will be put into this one as well...keep close for  updates on the renovation!

 

Big Gypsy Love!

A Gypsy in Portlandia!

 

The first weekend in December was spent Gypsy road trippin'...the Gypsy crew had a chance to steal away for a little vintage Christmas shopping and some much needed R&R if only for 3 days :)

 

The Portland, OR area happens to be one of our very FAVE junkin', bluesin', eatin', explorin', hangin', places to go just because!

 

 

The weather was BLISSFUL!

 

 

Kicked off the shopping SPREE with a visit to one of my ALL time favorite places, to visit one of my favorite people! Joyce Janes...

 

 

...Was sooo busy SLAMMED that Yodi and I had to have our picture alone in her BEAUTIFUL space!

 

Joyce, I know you were running yourself ragged, but Monticello LOVES YOU, and so do I! All of your efforts make a TOP RATED, CLASS ACT, antique shopping experience!!!

 

Monticello had their Christmas Show in full force and it was busier than I have ever experienced it before!

 

Monticello if you have not been, put it on your bucket list! I allow myself AT LEAST 4 hours (While Gypsy family patiently waits) for unrushed browsing, to be able to absorb all the AWESOMNESS!!!

 

 

 

 

 

There was so much EYE CANDY and INSPIRATION that we came away with few pictures than we thought considering how absorbed we were in all the LOVELINESS!!!

 

Next, was a little gem we found while "Free styling" :) DEFINITELY worth a mention...

 

 

A great little shop in the middle of a quiet neighborhood...FANTASTIC JUNK, GREAT PRICES and FRIENDLY STAFF!!! All three musts for a truly happy Gypsy Junker!

 

Check it out!

ReRun

 

In celebration of my November birthday my sweet family hooked it up with tickets to one of my ALL TIME FAVE girl groups from Canada!

 

THE BE GOOD TANYAS!!!

 

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these girls and their INSPIRING talent! I have been listening to them for years, but to be there front and center in person is unlike listening from a far! And of all places, at the historic Aladdin Theater! Amazing, intimate, and cozy venue.

 

 

 

 

If you haven't given these girls a listen (or ever heard of them) Check 'em out! They truly are in my top 5!

 

P.S. I am NOT missing any teeth!

 

Had a FANTASTIC weekend...goodbye for now sweet city we will hurry back again!

 

Happy Gypsy Wishes
