More Whimsy news:

Maria, of Just me again stopped in our shop and had the nicest things to say! here in her words (and with her permission of course) :

'The next day, we went vintage shopping at the cutest little shops in Carpinteria; stopped by Starbucks, had breakfast/lunch at a local spot and then headed back home. One of my favorite shops is called Whimsy. They have dozens of vintage cameras to fall in love with! I ended up getting a tiny brownie holiday camera. The cutest thing ever! '


Thank you Maria! Come back soon!

Let's Face it

Every shape, color, size.........
every face is unique and beautiful.

Animals and humans alike, personality and expression..
moods and sentiments can be read clearly by

looking at someone's face.

At Whimsy you will be mesmerized as you stroll
through our two shops and fix your eyes among our cast of characters.

Why were certain faces chosen long ago by an artist to
embody his/her work of art?

We can appreciate the uniqueness each and every one.
We can celebrate that no two are created alike.







Thank you for joining me in a brief tour of faces...

We hope to see your beautiful face at Whimsy sometime soon!
