With a Gypsy heart and Native American blood, who I am is what inspires me. I stay true to my roots and where my heart is, What attracts me and the Culture behind it. That's what I express in all that I do, the things I find, pick, make and sell. A one of a kind collection of hand picked Vintage/Retro Clothing, Collectables and Hand-Made Accessories. Most clothing pieces are original, some are alt
ered to fit just how you like and adding a lil' extra flair! My jewelry pieces are all Hand-Made combined with both Vintage/Retro materials as well as new and Taxidermy pieces which consists of a variety of cleaned/sterilized Authentic feathers, animal bones, teeth, tails, and wingsto fully express me by giving a Retro yet modern look with a Indigenous Gypsy Bohemian feel.
. What makes my Line most unique is, No two items are alike. Keep in mind, although no two items are the same I could make something "similar" to another item if you are truly drawn to something that has already been done and sold. Feel free to chit chat, ask questions or special order. I'd also be happy to receive ideas for something you've been aching to have but have yet to seen done and feel you can't DIY (Do It Yourself). I truly for blessed for the eye, gift, love, passion and talent that God has given me. It's not a passing trend or momentary fondness for me.. I've been collecting and creating ever since I could remember, and my mom and grandma are to thank for that. They use to always take me to Yard Sales, Garages Sales, Thrift Stores, and Swap meets since I was a wee little girl.. Mainly because we couldn't always afford the new stuff but they also knew where to find all the GOOD STUFF. I vividly remembering always getting a BANG FOR MY BUCK and loving ALL the radical things I've NEVER seen before, all the things we could never find a regular store.. And with that, my love has only grown stronger :)
NOW, I feel I've earned the rights to call myself a "Connoisseur" in my trade. That means I'm a pro at finding and hitting up every Estate sale, Thrift Store, Yard Sale, Antique Store, Garage Sale, Swap Meet and Flea Market that comes my way and in zero time FLAT, spotting out the most Beautiful and Unique items in the joint (through my eyes) with often time Quality and Value that I didn't even know about when coming to it first hand.. Things that most people will miss after circling the place a few times. Hate to toot my own horn but that's gotta mean somethin', Right?... ;)
So with about 20 years under my belt of doing this, I think I humbly could say I'm a "PRO" at what I do and I'm pretty sure you'll like what you see (at least I hope). Long story short- I'm a collector that enjoys making others happy. I hope to one day have my own store/shop and have items that appeal to everyone. I always get the most kick and joy out of selling an item that is something someone always wanted, or something that hits home. Something, that reminds them of being a kid or something they once had as a kid. Or selling "The Perfect Gift", that is what touches my heart and makes me smile and has a big part in why I do this and love to do it. If it makes you happy it most definitely makes me happy:)
AND, Last but not least: If you're interested, I also offer Styling and Beauty modifying (Licensed Cosmetologist) for PHOTOSHOOTS, SPECIAL EVENTS, or just a HOT DATE. Feel free to message me Anytime or Email me at [email protected] and I'd be more than happy to help ya! :) -Melissa Josephine
