From roadside finds to a full-blown brand, Junk Gypsy founders Amie Sikes and Jolie Sikes have always done things their own way—and it shows in every detail.
This feature takes you inside the story behind it all: the early days of “junking,” the risks, the chaos, and the moments that turned something small into something unforgettable. It’s not just about style—it’s about trusting your instincts and building a life that looks different from the norm.
These photos were taken at Wander Inn—the sisters’ own property in Round Top, Texas—where every corner reflects the same creativity and character that built the brand.
Scroll through for a closer look at the spaces, the pieces, and the story that made it what it is today.

#repost @cowgirlmagazine 🚙🤠We got to shoot at Thelma’s Garage with @junkgypsy and they gave us the backstory of how it came to be.

Nearly a decade after COWGIRL first chronicled the rise of sisters Amie and Jolie Sikes, the two women who turned “junking” into a cultural phenomenon have done something rare in modern entrepreneurship: they have grown without losing the wild spirit that made them irresistible in the first place.
More than that, they have proven something even bigger. Two women, armed with creativity, grit, and an unshakable belief in their own vision, can build not just a business, but a world.
