hgtv. home is where the junk is.
HGTV. {pinch me now}. our new home. hgtv.
{just call me KaT von D :)}
{HGTV inspiration at antiques week}
{corey baby, our audio stud & heather of HGTV rockin the OFFICIAL JG tattoo!}
that’s right, in case you haven’t heard…one of HGTV’s newest design series set to launch in 2012 is…JUNK GypSIES! it’ll be a design show based on the JUNK GypSY style and philosophy…with a little bit o’ roadtrippin, junkin’, and repurposing thrown in! AND thanks to the amazing, wonderful people over at HGTV, we won’t be changing a thing about us or our style. it’s just us. doing our thang…
{at junk-o-RaMA prom...a biggo good time!}
we like to think of it as if we’re goodwill ambassadors of junk…spreading junk karma across the world…for the goodness of mankind and peace on earth.
{amie inkin' the crew...JaSON feelin' the pain}
{annnnd...corey baby dryin the JG tat}
in case you don’t recall our last TV experience…a ‘to-remain-unnamed’ network wanted amie & i to argue with each other and to haggle with junkers over prices. WhiCH is when we had to remind them that almost everything in our world is for sale…. except our souls.
REaD HERE.
we believe, as does HGTV, that AMERicA needs more ‘happy’ and less ‘controversy’ on TV. we believe y’all want more uplifting and less “honey, change the channel the kids are in the room” kind of shows. and most of all, we BELiEVE in being TRUE to ourselves and in staying true to YOU. our loyal and faithful and protective and “don’t-mess-with-our-junk-gypsies-or-i’ll-kick-your-booty” friends!
here’s one of the OFFiCIAL HGTV press releases in VARIETY…{pinch me again}
HGTV flew in all the way from HGTV-city to promote the new JG series at antiques week! AND…they gave out FREE jg tattoos, bags, and totally cheap-chic flashy glow button things!
the official HGTV/jg freeeee tote bags….
{...made my heart go pitter-patter}
my favorite 4-letter word. HGTV. ok, so maybe it’s not a word, but it should be. and if it was, it would be my FAVORITE 4-letter word in the universe. AND not JUST because the new JG series will be on HGTV.
{the official HGTV-JG logo}
and not just because my new BFF, emily henderson is on HGTV.
{me & em (her BFF's call her em) in the HGTV tent}
no sir, the reasons are infinite. and i’m so proud of each and every stinkin reason. and we’re all so proud to be a part of the HGTV family.
and in my opinion, home is where the junk is.
{did i mention the HGTV tent at antiques week?!}
{their oh-so-cute, totally awesome tent! decked out by our good friend, winnie mauch}

OMG! This was the most exciting news! I heard about it recently on FB and we were all giddy and squealie and excited for oyou ladies! Man, you’re living my dream! I can’t wait for the premiere sneak peak preview! I’ll bring the margaritas and popcorn!! I think y’all should get those tats, for real! They’re awesome! Oh but come on now, you have to admit that your favorite 4-letter word is still junk, right? HGTV can come second? Maybe favorite 4-letter acro or somethning LOL! Anyway, I am really happy with the changes that HGTV is making, going more with real people and not in the direction it was going. We FBers were just saying recently how that other channel with those supposed picking sisters was so fake and hoity toity and how they needed REAL pickin and junkin women on tv and here you are! Perfect! Best wishes for all success! Hugs and Junk-4-Evah! Leena

met you gals in chicago and traveled to texas and attended prom and have not turned back. i have always been a junk chick, but nobody brought the attention to the wonderful creative world of pickin like you girls! you are a big part of this repurpose, recycling junk revolution and you should be so proud and hgtv is so smart to put you on their network! This girl will be glued to the tube to watch every episode!!! congratulations…cindy
[Reply]
aaaaahhhhh!!! can’t WAIT!!!!! so proud of you and this post is right on…i was agreeing out loud to the “change the channel” part…so true and so sad these days. hoping this airs in Canada…or that someone “tapes” it for me! (does that even happen anymore?!)

From one Texas girl to another…Congratulations YALL!
[Reply]
Way Excited to hear the news!! You guys couldn’t have picked a better preview date… Nov 27th MY BIRTHDAY!! I know what I will be opening for my present and what I will be watching ;) I am so glad yall got hooked up with the right people and at the right time. There is nothing more exciting or meaningful than the hunt, the idea and the DIYT then the display in our spaces of something that means so much. We need to surround ourselves not with what we saw someone else put in their living room but what speaks to us. That is how you feather your nest and make friend to share it with along the way! Stand tall gals and give em heck
[Reply]
OMG!!! I have been keepin an eye on you sistas for years and have introduced you all to tons of my friends! Can’t wait for the big Debut….now we can all feel a little more like part of the family. Congrats – God Bless and may all your Dreams come true!
[Reply]
I am bustin’ with JOY for you three and Ashlyn too! I saw her Facebook post and beamed that now folks I ask to Google ” Junk Gypsies” will finally get to really meet you too! I treasure my time with you a few years back when I made the road trip to Texas and I always talk about you in Junk Shops, etc. Everyone asks about my Tees and that just gets me started.
My TV will be tuned and recording at the same time. I know I will want a repeat performance of such a special time in your lives, You have earned it and deserve it, the fAmE, the FoRtUnE, and the ATTITUDE! Keep it going Girls, Mom, Pop, kido’s, dear Hubby’s, with Miranda and Blake, AND AsHlYn, You ROCK!
I Love the HGTV Logo TOO!
