Welcome to Rooted Gypsy

 

Hi, I’m Candie — the hands and heart behind Rooted Gypsy.

 

I've loved creating for as long as I can remember. While others might head to the store, I've always found joy in making something with my own hands.

​

What many people don't know is that creating became much more than a hobby for me. After experiencing childhood trauma, painting became a place where I could find peace. It became my therapy for PTSD- a quiet space where my hands stayed busy, my mind could rest, and healing could begin.

​

Over time, that healing grew into something I never imagined. What started as a creative outlet became Rooted Gypsy- a family-run business where Richard & I create handcrafted decor, DIY kits, and seasonal pieces from our Kansas Studio.

​

Every piece we make is created with care, and I hope that when it finds a place in your home, it brings a little of the same comfort, warmth and joy that created it brought to mine.

​

Thank you for supporting our small business and allowing us to share a little piece of our story with yours.

Meet My Behind-the-Scenes Hero

 

While I may be the one with the paintbrush in hand, there’s someone else who helps make Rooted Gypsy possible- my husband, Richard.

​

He’s the one loading the car, carrying the heavy things, setting up for craft shows, cutting wood, lending a helping hand, and keeping me smiling through it all.

​

You won't see him in every photo or every social media post but trust me- he's there. He's cheering me on, fixing the things I accidentally break (oops!), and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

 

Rooted Gypsy is truly a team effort, and I couldn't do this without him. I'm so thankful to have him by my side through every craft show, paint splatter, sawdust covered day, and creative adventure.
