Two years ago I decided I needed to get back into fashion and have some fun! It was time to ease back into working. Rose was making so much progress and our family had begun adjusting to this new life style. I started Gypsy Rose the summer of 2019. It’s named after our girl Rose, who we ended up adopting. I am living my best life doing what I’m passionate about and raising my three kids, and so blessed to be married to my best friend! I couldn’t do life without him. Joey has been so supportive of Gypsy Rose since day one and literally my rock through it all.
I have a website you can shop from, a permanent booth in Vintage Soul in Longview, and I do local events! I love what I do and seeing old customers of mine and reconnecting! I want to thank you for shopping Gypsy Rose!!
Well I can say I have been in fashion most of my life! Worked retail in high school, college and then had my own store. As a little girl I always dreamed of having my own store and I would play “store” in my room! It was a fantasy that I was able to live out as a young adult. For ten years I shared a successful brick and mortar women’s clothing store. Having your own brick and mortar is no joke…It’s so much work! Fun but lots of endless hours. We sold our business in the summer of 2016. At that point in my life I was so busy raising my teenage boys and we were fostering a little girl. I loved being able to focus on my family 100% and looking back God opened that door for our family because he knew we needed the time.
As I mentioned we were fostering at the time and had gotten a 7-week old little girl, our Rose. Very quickly after getting Rose we knew there were lots of health issues and needs not being addressed so this started a journey that still carries on today. Raising a special needs child is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. But I’m a believer and know God put her right where she needed to be…with us. For three years I spent every waking hour in fight or flight for my girl. Doctor appointments, school meetings, getting a diagnosis, and being emotionally drained.
