Recycling Plastic is Fantastic!

Hey there! Have you ever wondered what to do with your plastic shopping bags? So have we! Did you know the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually? Only 1-3% of plastic bags are recycled world wide.

That is boat loads of plastic that could be re-used and recycled!

Protecting Our environment means monuments to Gypsy Rose. We try our very best to be as earth friendly as possible. This post will give you some ideas of what to do with your plastic bags!

1. One of the best alternatives is to reduce consumption! The best way to consume less is to invest in clothe bags. Clothe bags can be found at most stores, including Gypsy Rose! Check out these alternative shopping bags-  LIVE SIMPLY TOTE BAG, TAPESTRY TOTE, COEXIST BAG

2. Take your plastic bags with you to the store to re-use them to hold your goods.

3. Find a location that has bins where plastic bags are properly recycled. You can go HERE to find a location near you.

4. Plastic bags can be used as packing material for fragile items or mailed packages.

5. One of our favorite recycling tips is to re-use the bags as water balloons! What a fun idea for this summer! Just be sure to recycle the aftermath when you surprise a friend!

6. Turn your plastic bags into art! Click HERE to view some creative ideas of what to do with your plastic!

7. Did you know you could make yarn out of those plastic bags? Check out the simple steps to do so HERE!

8. Find out if your local curbside recycling program accepts plastic bags.

9. Use the bags to organize your stuff! You can hang the bags off of hooks and use the bags to store craft supplies.

10. Go to http://www.plasticbagrecycling.org to find out more info about what you can do with your plastic!

We hope this was helpful! Please spread the word to your friends!! You're welcome to share more great ideas with us! We'd love to hear from you!!!

Happy Birthday Mr. Bob Dylan

"All I can do is be me, whoever that is." - Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan's 71st birthday is today. Bob began his career at a local coffee shop a few blocks away from the University of Minnesota. Since then, his career has accelerated to be one of the most influential song writers of our time! Bob has influenced the music scene for five decades now.
In 2008, the Pulitzer Prize jury awarded Bob Dylan a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."  Last month, President Barack Obama named Bob Dylan as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian achievement award in the U.S.Not only is he a song writer and musician, but he has published three books. He has also had paintings and drawings exhibited in major art galleries. How amazing is it that this classic song writer is still on tour!! He is truly dedicated to his work, and we are truly glad he is! With that said, here's a classic for you to enjoy :)

The Beginning

Hey friends! Hows it shakin'? Gypsy Rose has joined the bandwagon and created a blog! We made this blog in hopes to connect with you, our wonderful customers and fellow companions. Our ambitions for this blog is to spread awareness about conscious living, share stories, and fun ideas!

Believe it or not, Gypsy Rose has been around since 1987. Who would have thought this crazy catalog idea would work, not us. It seems like yesterday Kaye and I were touring with the Grateful Dead peddlin’ Bajas & psychedelic shades, goin’ from town to town and show to show. Boy have times changed. In the early days this little catalog was nothin’ but a single black and white page with about ten items on it. Kaye and I ran it in a spare bedroom between our real jobs. Since then we ditched the 9 to 5’s, the catalog has grown to about 84 pages.We’ve got a big warehouse!

The Gypsy Rose family has grown to 24 hard workin’ great folks. Even though it’s been hard work, it’s been a lot of fun. And although we miss our old tour days and the “Dead Scene” dearly, we had a great time and are Grateful we had the chance to experience it. Through the products we sell we are trying to keep it all alive, and spread its message for peace, love and respect for our brother and earth. We know it’s not the same as tour, but it’s a good reminder of great days gone past. Hopefully a new generation can catch the meaning of it all through our contribution.

Since day one of Gypsy Rose, our priorities have not changed. Numero Uno is to satisfy you the customer, with quality products at a fair price with good service and prompt delivery. We also continue to fight for our environment and protect its inhabitants, big and small! We donate a percentage of our profits to charitable organizations that are trying to make the world a better place. We print our catalog on recycled paper with soy ink, recycle all of our computer paper, junk mail and old catalogs for packaging and we re-use as many old boxes as possible, so don’t be shocked if you get a Sam Adams box at your door with a Gypsy Rose label on it.

As always we welcome your comments, suggestions and ideas. Please feel free to contact us for any specific needs you may have. You are the reason Gypsy Rose has lasted, and for us to keep on truckin’ we need your input good or bad. Although we really like to hear the good, we need to hear the bad so we can serve you better in the future. So if you’ve got a gripe, let us know-our feelings won’t get hurt. Have fun flippin’ through our new catalog; you’ll find lots of new cool things mixed with our old favorites. We look forward to hearing from you soon!!
