Is this shop run by a co-op or a group of people? No. I am a sole trader and this is my one woman business. I have some local artist's products that I pay a commission to but everything you see has been hand chosen by me.
So is all the shop second-hand goods/ pre-loved items? No there is a mixture of vintage and new. For a more planet-friendly ethos I incorporate items that are already on our planet. I want to encourage people to re-use quality hand picked old things.
Why isn't everything in your physical shop listed on your online shop? I'm only a one woman business so I have a limitation on time. For the online shop I've pick those items that are easily posted and will fit into a small box. There is one shipping fee so it lends itself to buying a range of small items for the flat rate of $10.
Do you make the Lampshades? And can you post these? Yes I make drum lampshades on site here. You can choose the size and pick from my fabrics or bring in your own fabric. No I don't ship these as the cost is prohibitive e.g greater than $80. So look for someone local to you.

What is with the name Whimsy? Eleven years ago I was at home raising a three year old by myself. On a whim I decided to start a shop in my garage so I could be at home with Liam. Hence the name Whimsy. It also allows me the flexibilty to not be too serious. I have a dry sense of humour.
