Gypsies Antiques is one of the only true antique shops in the area. There are a lot of antique malls with different vendors, but Debbie, the owner of Gypsies curates everything in the shop. With a concentration in European furnishings and decor, she takes annual trips to to Europe to find the best, authentic inventory. This year, she's planning a trip to England, France and Belgium. Along with these beautiful antique furnishings, she's also got a room full of the most amazing vintage clothes I've seen in town. 50's gowns and gorgeous bags...they're just break-taking.
Take a look!

| The shop is dense with inventory. There are small vignettes that are very purposefully designed all throughout. |
 |
| If you make your way to the very back of the store, you'll find a hidden treasure trove of vintage dresses. I mean really?! |
 |
| *Cue heart eyeballs popping out of my head* The details on each of the pieces was so delicate and intricate. It was the kind of care and precision that's hard to find nowadays. I could've just stayed and stared at every dress for hours. |
 |
| Scattered throughout the store are jewelry cases filled with vintage goodness. I kept getting distracted as I was walking through...so many sparkles! |
 |
| Be sure to take your time and soak up everything in the store. You never know what gems you'll find. Like this gorgeous packaging illustration. |

Debbie was such a wonderful host as I snapped away. There were quite a few customers looking around and she was buzzing through the store answering questions and taking in brand new inventory. One of the new pieces was already getting some attention by a local interior designer. I had a great time visiting Gypsies and will definitely pop back in to check out that vintage section in particular!
Also, a fun bonus for y'all. Debbie is offering a 10% discount to anyone who mentions The Pink Samurai blog at checkout! How great is that?! So be sure to stop by Gypsies, take a peek and take advantage of the discount just for you ^_^ |
