Airing out my Gypsy laundry...


I have been photographing all my fun props and vintage items lately.
























We are starting a vintage prop rental business and I will be placing all my goodies online for potential clients to see and hopefully rent for their special event.
























To stage them in a fun way I hung up all my vintage clothes on my...  are you ready??...  GYPSY WAGON!!!
I got this lovely old wagon about a month ago in trade for doing an event.  It is in sad, let me repeat SAD shape but that's OK.  I will enjoy getting it all fixed up!  I can't wait to have tea in it someday soon.  You can better believe I will post all about it, ad nauseum, you will probably get sick of it!
This really is a dream come true.  I have wanted one for years!  I still can't believe it's mine.  
Anyway back to the vintage prop rental business.  I need your help with a name.  Here are a couple I have come up with but I would love to get your ideas.  
Vintage Vignettes
Pretty Props
Salvaged Stuff

After the first name it goes down hill I know.  Any great ideas?  I would love to hear them.
Also I think I mentioned a while back a steam punk wedding I had the tremendous fun of designing.
It is on the blog site called Ruffled.  Here is a link to the post.  It was SUPER FUN!!!  As soon as I get the photos from the photographer I will do a huge post on it.  I was truly one of the best ever.  You can get your curiosity going by looking at Ruffled and then hopefully in a week or so I will have tons of pics to show.

That's it for now, just stopping by.  Hope you are all super well!!!
Back in a flash (hopefully) with loads of pics

By the way, I cannot tell a lie.  My neighbor took these photos with her... PHONE!  It beats the heck out of anything I took with my fancy pants camera...  *sigh*
There is a reason I don't make a living with a camera, much better with flowers.

  1. I saw the wedding on Ruffled a few days ago, it's soooo gorgeous.

    Your gypsy caravan looks wonderful, can't wait to see what you do with it.

    Oh and I think I like Vintage Vignettes best. :-)

  3. ohhhh Tricia ! Cant I have this laundry? :D:D:D J.K. I went to the link for the wedding and I was blown away. I love being blown away! Tricia you are truly talented. I wish I liked thrifting but alas it is far too much driving and work. I have however recently done this and I did find treasures! I guess treasures require effort. Name suggestions: ''Vintage Beauty Rentals'' "Vintage Memories For Hire" ? blessings, Lady

  9. OMG Tricia, your Gypsy Vardo is fabulous, I'm so Happy for you! And I will never get tired of your Shared Inspirations & Events... so share away, I can't wait to see how you Transform this into a Gypsy Haven Heaven! I agree with Cielo, "Rent A Dream" would be a great Name because it would cover whatever Prop you had available to bring someone's Dream to Life.

    I'm still waiting for The Man to discover my Vardo, I want a Project so I don't care about condition so long as it has good bones... because I want to put my own signature & mark on it.
