Featuring Our Friends Friday No.1

Hey Yall!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I'm so excited as today is the unveiling of our new

FEATURING OUR FRIENDS FRIDAY!!

There are so many amazing vendors at Canton and even if you've been coming for years, there's no way to see every one of them in a single trip. My goal with this little feature is to highlight some of our old favs and also a few cool new vendors that we come across......which is exactly what we are doing today!

Our first feature is Amber from Gipsy Bridge. This is only her third month at Canton but her business is already rockin! Every time I went by her booth (which is quite frequently because she is just up Row 46 from us and right next to the air conditioned bathrooms...excellent location!) it was packed!! Amber and her boyfriend Jose are the cutest, sweetest and most talented couple.

She designs and makes gorgeous jewelry and pillows, he designs and creates all her funky cool display pieces and they also carry super cute clothing.

Amber was sweet enough to email me a little background info on her fabulous new business:

Hi Jenny! Here's a little info about Gipsy Bridge....

Everyone always thinks I spelled "Gipsy" wrong, but Gipsy is actually the name of the tiny little town where I grew up in Southeast Missouri. The Gipsy Bridge logo is a picture of the actual bridge where I grew up. I spent many summers jumping off that bridge into the river with my family and friends. So, I was able to bring a little piece of my country home, the Missouri Bootheel, to Texas. :)

The decorations, and most of my jewelry pieces, are made from old doors. I have always had a fascination with old doors; they are way cooler than new ones! The older and chippier, the better! (My friends like to tease me and say that you have to have a tetanus shot before coming into my apartment!) It's the story of the old door that makes it so special and interesting....what kind of house did it belong to, how many colors has it been painted, what sort of people turned its knob, and what things went on behind it when it closed......so, when my boyfriend, Jose, builds my displays, he always finds the most interesting doors and finds a way to really display the character of it, as well as feeding my "old door fetish!" :)

Such a sweet story....

I can definately identify with her "old door fetish"! haha.....I seem to have one myself :)
