Sunday

Whimzy had a PARTY!
























I can't believe that Dianne and I have been tending the shop for 4 years already! It has just whizzed by for me! On Saturday we hosted a little party to celebrate another wonderful year with our friends. So many great people stopped by and visited throughout the day. We had a tasty buffet of all our favorites including rosemary cashews (always a hit!), cupcakes (can't go wrong there!), and some of the most decadent cheeses I have ever had! Dianne is so great at putting things together!

Kim Kostka of Saltwater Studio stopped in and let me say, I really like that girl. She is super talented and so willing to share!
I am looking forward to some big plans with her
and Whimzy!

We also had our first Artist's trunk show! Jennifer Dimas was here with a magical assortment of her bejeweled treasures. Jennifer has been creating for Whimzy since 2005. Her vintage jewelery bracelets and necklaces are not only scrumptous to wear but, the have history! She also makes
jeweled bottles. Each piece features a menagerie of findings that just work wonders together!

All in all, it was a very successful day! Great friends, tasty food, and most of all a celebration of heart, soul, and connections that Whimzy has given us back. It is the people we meet, the friends we make, and the stories we share that makes all the hard work worth it!


Wednesday

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Halloween!



















Yes, it's that time again!
Whimzy is now sporting not only Halloween, but Christmas too! We have some truly UNIQUE holiday items that I am sure you'll want to see! Artist J'me Santos has brought us some whimzical Halloween collage tins. Each one with it's own character and personality add something really fun to any holiday collection. I was industrious enough to put together a few Halloween crowns and party hats. "PMEsther" was an idea I had brewing for months and finally came to fruition! "Queen of the Cauldron" will be the crown we re-create for the October 15th crown class at Whimzy. Dianne has been busy too! She has lovingly put together a collection of vintage bottles full of ghoulies and creepies. Some have rhinestone eyes, some have crowns, and she has even done some custom casting for
the stoppers on a portion of the bottles as well!
Needless to say Christmas is bright and vintage and spark-o-ly too! The shop really looks magical right now so if your in the hood-
DROP ON BY FOR HO! HO! HALLOWEEN!
