To all our lovely Pilgrims / Groovers / Carrots 🥕

The time has come for us to begin our separate journeys on this magical and crazy path we call life.

We have had an AMAZING 5 years of Gypsy Carrot fun, with lots of blood, sweat and tears along the way. We cannot thank you all enough for the amount of love and support we have been shown throughout our GC endeavours!

We set out on a mission to spread some positivity, love and creativity in our local area, which we think we have achieved - whilst having so many good times along the way.

We have met a crazy amount of beautiful people and worked with a ridiculous amount of talent! A special mention goes to our amazing team, without whom none of it would have been possible. We love you guys millions 💕

As we set off on our own pilgrimages we're certain that this is not the end but the start of new beginnings, with us both continuing with our love for all things positive and creative - so watch this space....

All our love,

Em & Sam #########x

P.S. We have a beautiful bar and loads of decor for sale - please get in touch if you are interested!

This is one of my favourite stories ever! I have seen this man before, I mean how do you miss a man carrying a giant carrot?! But I've never been able to catch him! Today I did and what a legend he is!

“I have to ask, why do you always carry a giant carrot around?”


Nathan


“To make people smile… You see, one day I went to an op shop and I bought a giant turnip. I was carrying it home and noticed how much it made people smile. That made me feel really good!
So I decided to try carrying other giant things around. I carried a giant octopus and a giant squid… then I made the giant carrot and carried it around town and I noticed a big difference. The diversity of people smiling and the number of people smiling was much greater. So I just kept carrying the carrot around because it was the most successful thing at making people smile.
Personally I would have loved to keep carrying the squid but it was the carrot that everyone loved…
I’m on a disability pension, you see, and this is my way of giving back. I’m a part of the community, putting smiles on people’s faces.
Like today for instance, I was at home watching a DVD, and I just thought, ‘Nah, I’m going to go out and make hundreds of people smile instead with the carrot.’
Last year there was a big protest at Parliament, right wing people and anti-racism people and I was at home watching it on TV thinking ‘how awful, this could end up in a riot.’
So I picked up my carrot and wandered down. It worked so well, people started smiling when they saw me and the carrot and I think it helped calm them down.
I try to get out as often as possible but you have to be in the mood to do something like this… today I’ve been out here for about an hour and a half and I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of smiles. This is what’s so good about it, if I want to do something good I just grab my carrot and head on out.”

Keep on carrying that carrot Nathan, you make Melbourne an even better place to be!
