Upcycled creations by Jody of Brin & Nohl at Whimsy on Linden!!!

We love these adorable baskets that have been upcycled from coffee sacks and lined with recycled heavy cotton. Oklahoma artist and young Mom, Jody from Brin & Nohl, has created these and we have them now in our Linden store. We also have tote bags/handbags and will be getting farmers market bags from her! The graphics are wonderful and each is one of a kind! Whimsy loves all of Jody's creations, and the baskets are offered in 3 different sizes and are ideal for magazines, rolled up towels, veggies, art supplies, mail...the list goes on!

Wonderfully Made features WHIMSY at event

The lovely gals from Wonderfully Made recently had a large event in Santa Barbara and asked if they could "borrow" a truckload of furniture and decor. They came and picked out what they wanted and we delivered the lovely load for their May event with 500 women in attendence. Whimsy also gave them coupons for both shops so we are hoping to see you all to pick out some fun furniture or vintage goodness for your own homes! Thanks so much for choosing Whimsy!

Emma's birthday gift

We are in the truck headed to Ethan's good friend Emma's birthday party. Ethan is holding her gift tied with fresh flowers and a denim scrap. Photo-worthy, I reckon.

WHIMSY Vegetable Garden

This is the vegetable bed. Literally. Ready for organic veggies....

Of course we had to paint the vintage iron headboard white, the dark finish just didn't show up against the bouganvilla!

We'll call this our first attempt at a vegetable garden. Here is my husband Alan as he is putting on the finishing touches to the headboard/trellis of our veggie bed. Did I mention everything we do is just a little different? Why stop now? We'll name this the WHIMSY garden.

abstract from my garden adventure

There was something about the textures and graphics of this old farm piece that called my eye and asked me to capture it.

Garden Time

Every year a local nursery has a wonderful sale that is just the most gorgeous colorful eyeful that I had to share my experience this year. The selection is great and the prices are mind blowing, but if you wait till the last day everything is half price. This year I went back 3 times. The first day we loaded up for 20 bucks but the third day, I filled my car for 11 dollars with enough to create my Mother's patio and a few left over for me.
