Welcome to Whimsy Home + Studio

I started selling my various crafts under the name Whimsy 10 years ago as a way to stay sane whilst raising my 4 year old son Liam. It has taken many forms over the years - in my garage, online, in Mosgiel, in my shed and now finally in a Central City shop.

​

I aspire to bring an alternative to the big impersonal super stores which are not transparent with their supply chains and their overuse of plastic and greenwashing tactics. Rant over.

​

My Ambition is to provide a friendly welcoming shop that is full of inspiration, colour, and natural materials. To strive to be planet friendly by promoting the values of reducing, reusing, and recycling.  

​

​I curate the shop to showcase products that are kinder on the planet. I look on websites that feature a Modern Slave Policy, a Sustainability Policy, the Artisans/Makers are paid a fair living wage, and the materials used are biodegradable, recycled, or reused. I also look for plastic free packaging in shipping, and have the majority of Stockists in New Zealand to minimise the cost of freight (both financially and environmentally).
