Vintage Linens + Vintage Frame = Cute Displays

We are working hard at getting the showroom ready for the upcoming grand opening.

Pin It

Tonight I finished my first display frame that will hang on the walls!  I'm so pleased with how it turned out.  Finally a use for all those beautiful vintage linens!  Now to get to work on ALL the others!

Coming Soon!!

The Gypsies are Going Brick and Mortar!!

As you may have heard, DSG is going brick and mortar...SOON!  We are planning on opening our retail show room at the end of the month here in Plaquemine, Louisiana.  Our tentative Grand Opening is March 30th but we are still working out the details so stay tuned!

Until then, here are some sneak peeks of our progress as we prepare our little showroom for you!

We are so excited to share more with you very soon!!

Got the HUNGER?

Hunger Games of coarse.  This month is all about the Hunger Games over at DSG and this collection has been months in the works.

I've spent hours customizing this collection, hand stamping charms to embelish these pieces.

And spent countless hours researching the book and characters to make this collection personal to all those hunger fans that cherish the books.

Then it came time to actually make these pieces.  The ideas danced in my head for weeks and weeks.  

Most of the components I ordered from over seas and it took weeks for them to come in which added even more to my anticipation!

Once it all came in I had such a wonderful time creating this collection for you!

As with all my collections, not all my items are handmade.  I've also selected a number of wonderful items from my suppliers that compliment my handmade pieces...like the Red Arrow Bracelet.  Super cute, dainty and adjustable for just about any wrist.

But almost all of the pieces in this collection are handmade, like the Nightlock Berry necklace (which I adore). 

I even managed to do some hand bent cigar band type feather rings!  LOVE these!

And the matching bracelets too that are semi cuff style with a chain that continues the rest of the way to make it very adjustable.

This is one of my favorite collections!

As usual, you can log on to facebook and claim your items today!

Bon Temp Collection

This month's Collection is the all about the rich culture of Louisiana!

 Some of my favorite icons of this great state are featured in this collection...like the New Orleans water meter.

 The beautiful fleur de lis...(naturally)

 the rich colors of Mardi Gras...

 and even the aligator!

 I even featured the beautiful artwork of a local artist (and friend), Preston Dupuy.

Bon Temp also welcomed the addition of the "You are Here" necklaces!  These are now available with any area both in the US and internationally!

You can check out the entire collection on facebook!

Adornments & Oddities

The new Adornments & Oddities Collection releases TODAY!!

A portion of this collection contains our new "Adornments" line. 

This is a new line of interchangeable charms and pendants that can be swapped out and customized to create your own unique and collected look.  You can add to it and change it as you like.  I hope to continue to add to this line in the future so you can keep adding charms and pieces, making like a modern day charm necklace!  I may even add some bracelets to this line later.  To explain how it works, you purchase the charms individually.  They will come with a lobster clasp (some are pictured without it but they will all ship with one attached) and you can simply attach it to your necklace and remove it when you want to change your look up.  You can add as many as you like!  When you purchase three or more charms I'll provide you with a necklace or you can purchase one separately.  It has a round ring at the bottom of the necklace making it easy to add and remove charms.

Also in this collection is a number of Alice in Wonderland pieces as well as some items that would be great for Valentine's day!  Lots of "Oddities" to get you excited!

Check it out tonight between 6 and 7 pm central time on our facebook page and claim your pieces!!

Gypsy Ride Project

I'm sure you remember last year around this time DSG purchased a 1948 Ford panel truck.

Well it's taken a year but we are finally getting the project underway!  Since we are doing all the work ourselves last year distracted us with all of our wonderful blessings but 2012 will be the year of the gypsy ride!  So we will keep you posted on our progress.   The pictures above are part of the "donor" process.  We are using a '78 F100 Ranger pick up truck as a donor truck and harvesting parts and pieces that we can reuse and repurpose on the panel truck.  See...reduce, reuse, repurpose CAN be used in just about all areas of your life.  Here at DSG we believe if you can reuse it, then repurpose it!

It's sort of father son project for my husband and my oldest son (he's 5 now) so it's a labor of love...gypsy love!

He has enjoyed working elbow to elbow with his daddy on it so far and things are just getting fun!

Below is a picture of our little gypsy family back in the spring of last year when I was pregnant for the baby bird with the panel truck in behind us. 

We hope to use the panel truck as the backdrop for many family pictures to come!
