GYPSIES
are commonly thought of as a fringe society notorious for flamboyant lifestyles, thievery and debauchery. They are also called 'Travelers' as they move around nomadic style camping where they can, sometimes 'squatting' on others property. As with any society or culture we have to remember you can't judge all by the actions of a few. It's a culture rich with history and tradition.
On that note, I'd like to share a charming story my aunt Elsie shared with us.
"Talking about gypsy, I remember a band of them traveling through town, camping somewhere nearby. mother was working in the garden when a small group stopped by the wall to watch. She became annoyed and said loudly, "I hope you get your eyes full !" They weren't very welcome, because a lot of things disappeared when they came through."
I can absolutely hear my grandma saying that for she was not one to hesitate to let you know you were irritating her! LOL

WHERE MY HEART LIVES
Gypsies wander from place to place just as my gypsy heart wanders and imagines all the places she wants to call home, all the places she wants to see, all the things she wants to do and all the things she wants to be...These images represent my gypsy heart's longings...
All gypsies MUST have crystals and the more the merrier.....
You can't be a gypsy without loving crystals...
I'd wear a crown of berries and leaves...
I'd grow flowers as bright as the sun and the moon.....
I'd paint my walls purple....
And my door the brightest pink....
I'd furnish it with love....
I'd put color all around...
I'd get out my prettiest dishes......
...dress myself up....
And invite my friends over....
They'd all come on horseback...
And we'd dance by candlelite....
And my wandering gypsy heart....
...would be HOME.
