The founder of Banana Republic, Patricia Ziegler, gives JG Co. a small business makeover. "It's a problem most entrepreneurs would pray for: the Junk Gypsies have been blindsided by success. Their quirkly little family business -- reselling oddball clothes and furnishings that they find at remote flea markets -- has suddenly turned the 3 Texans into celebrities, and their tee shirts are showing up on entertainers such as Sheryl Crow and Minnie Driver.
