Glittefest!

 

Hello!

Long time no write, I know, but with all of the social media out there I do not know where this blog fits in.  Please leave a comment if you were here, so we know who is out there!

 

These are the Glitterfest Fall winners for the most "BOOTIFUL BOOTH!".  We give out awards at every Glitterfest.  So many of the artists go above and beyond on their booths , we just had to recognize them for all of their efforts!

 

 

 Priscilla Magdaleno and Becky Wimbs-These lovely ladies are so talented and sooooo nice!  They always pack their space with sparkling magic!  We love them both and are so happy they continue to join us for Glitterfest!

 The folks from Meyer Imports!  They continually provide Glitterfest shoppers with the best glitter in the universe!  It looks so yummy you want to dive in and play in it!

Deb Ward Kennedy of HOMEWARD found had the most amazing waterfall of sweater pumpkins and décor!  I believe it was her parents there helping as well!  Deb dressed the part too, which is always fun and appreciated!  This was her first Glitterfest.  We hope she will join us again!

 

For everyone that joined us for Glitterfest, Thank you!  It was a wonderful day full of art, fun and sparkling laughter!  For those that missed out, please plan to join us on March 15, 2014 for our next Artful Occasion!

Halloween!

Whimzy! is now officially in "Halloween" mode. Stop in and see what creepy, fun, bewitchedness awaits you!

Get them before the disappear!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

It's Halloween at Whimzy!

The reset is complete!  Halloween is now out and ready to scare up some fun this season!

Lots of glitter, naturally!  But lots of spooky fun too!

We have some choice Lenticular photos as well!  Nothing like a double take to add fun to your family gallery!

This haunting beauty is a be-Witching chalk board!  Her gown is the board and her tin cauldron holds the chalk!  So....very...cute!

Join us soon-before all these hauntingly fun tricks get treated away!!!

Frightfully Fun Party Hats!

I don't know where the obsession with paper came from. Maybe my early scrapbooking days when I was introduced to Creative Memories. I remember a door opening in my mind and the light shining through it. All the magical possibilities, at only $.99 a sheet!

Now that there is so much available to me, and I have the opportunity to tag sale to find unusual vintage items too-I love to make these fun little hats!

Here's a peek, and I know the butterfly one is not "Halloweeny" but I couldn't resist! I am saving them for "Glitterfest Fall" so if you want one you know where to find it and me!

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!

HAPPY HALLOWEENY!

It's getting a little SPOOKY around here! Last week we spent three days flipping the shoppe and bring out all the creepy Halloween treasures! Both Dianne & I love this time of year! I thought I could feel it in the air last week, but this week all I feel is HOT! This is a shot of the "Little Church" in our parking lot and it's daily visitor! This huge Raven likes to perch on the top of the cross and "sing"! Very Halloweeny!

This is a moth found on my neighbors front porch. After searching the web I found the name of this beauty is "Black Witch Moth". Very funny considering Halloween is my friend least favorite holiday! This sucker was about 6" across and very pretty. It stayed for about a day and 1/2 and then disappeared into the night! Very Halloweeny!

Stay tuned! I will have more pics of the store & some of my latest creations very soon!
