Owen Plant of the Sunshine Brothers @ First Friday

The amazing Owen Plant of the Sunshine Brothers

performed at a recent First Friday at the Seal Fountain!
The audience loved his style and we will have him back in the Spring!

Until then, please pop into Whimsy on Linden and buy one of his cd's!

The Getty Museum

We brought Cayla some things for her Westwood abode, and we decided to have lunch at the Getty Museum just a few moments from UCLA.
Here is my family headed up to a lovely cafe.



We saw the European masters paintings, but their works of art don't stand a
candle to my favorite creations, Cayla and Ethan!

The gardens are magnificent...

Ethan thought he would trip a passing runner.

First Friday November in Carpinteria

Being on the Carpinteria First committee, I have the pleasure of scouting out and hiring local talent to perform at our First Fridays. In November, we had the amazing young singer/songwriter, Emily Rath play at the Seal Fountain venue!
Three young girls found themselves dancing to the infectious music that Emily Rath
wrote and sang for her audience!

Jaret Campisi was also playing this clear Friday night, and his voice and talent wowed all
the audience for the rest of the event!
Both Emily and Jaret sold their cd's at First Friday, and Whimsy will be carrying all the
First Friday musician's cd's in the Linden location! Come check out these talented performers!
Hope to see you at the next First Friday in December where we have fantastic talent lined up!

Whimsy meeting and Welcome back to Lori

At one of our Whimsy meetings, we welcomed back Lori--

our beloved manager who had been sick for months!

Carpinteria Avocado Festival 2009 !

When 100,000 people come to a festival, it's gotta be fun!
Carpinteria welcomed the happy guacomole loving visitors with open arms!




What a fun way to welcome Fall and enjoy the creativity of food vendors
and crafters from all over !

Whimsy had fun making and selling these original design magnets in both shops

I thought these sets were amazing !

If you haven't made it to one of the Avo Festivals in Carpinteria, mark your

calendar for the first weekend in October. It is really a blast!
