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!!
