Road trip!!

So...Charming Gypsy Vintage is on a bit of a road trip! I thought it would be easier to write a blog post or two while on the road but the Internet access has proved me wrong! Unfortunately I have been without wireless so it makes it a bit more difficult to write detailed posts with images! Thanks to my Blogger app I am able to write a post tonight and I am also able to keep my FEBPHOTOADAY going!!

I am currently in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia...we have been thrifting along the way and so far my best find has been an amazing pair of Frye boots!! Can't wait to share them with you all...unfortunately they are not in my size :( Enroute to Vancouver in the next couple of days but my shop travels well and is still open for business at www.etsy.com/charminggypsy

Thanks for stopping by and if this is your first time please check back again soon and feel free to check out previous posts!!
Bye for now!!

Wildthing Vintage FEATURE...

I have missed blogging the past couple days...It is getting busy!
I have been trying to craft some of my Christmas gifts and it definitely takes up a lot of my time...not to mention keeping up my shop and I am doing shows at night!
I am not at all complaining here because I love my job and all my side jobs and all my hobbies but there are times when you just wish there were more hours in the day...I'm sure you can all relate!

Today I am going to do a Charming Fave blog post...


WHO:


This gal and I have more than a few things in common...

✶ we are both in the entertainment industry (and happen to be performing in the same show right now AND sharing a dressing room)
✶ we both LOVE the thrill of thrifting
AND
✶ we both LOVE our side business...Our VINTAGE SHOPS!

We help each other out with photoshoots and advice...It's so great having someone to bounce ideas off of, go thrifting with, and OF COURSE share great finds with!!

This rockin' chick has a great avant garde, outrageous and fun sense of style in life (hair can NEVER be big enough)...her shop on Etsy, WILDTHINGVINTAGE, reflects this and is great!


She describes her Etsy shop as:
"Home of grunge, goth, leather, lace, spandex, & all things avant garde! Specializing in the 1980s!"


Check out her SHOP and her NEW BLOG...show some love!


Her she is...WILDTHING!

Vintage Eyes...

So nerdy and cute...

I woke up this morning after having some really strange dreams (I think) .... BUT all that kept popping into my mind is this image of a really funky pair of nerdy vintage glasses!

So today I am inspired by that image in my mind and thought I'd share some funky eyewear...

70 mile YARD SALE

So this past weekend was AMAZING!  I was able to attend the annual 70 mile yard sale on Prince Edward Island!! I am talking about 70 miles of yard sale after yard sale after yard sale...And so many great finds!
Many suitcases in many colors and all of them in total for under 20$ TOTAL! (These are only a few of them) Also two wonderful old typewriters.

I think my best find though was two vintage Coach leather bags....One satchel style (1$) and a messenger bag (2$)...they are beautiful and in amazing condition!! Couldn't believe it!

This yard sale may become a yearly road trip of a vacation!
