Summer breezes by
Here we are, most of the way through August. This year is just flying by. As autumn approaches we really shift gears around here. Having a shop next door to Sleepy Hollow means that we get lots of requests for Headless Horseman stuff. There are a few things around the area, but we never found anything that really impressed us. Either it was too simple or too cutesy for our taste. We wanted something local folks would like as well as visitors. This is the first thing in a while we have liked. These prints are hand silk-screened on matte card stock, signed and numbered, and limited to 120 pieces. They measure 14'' by 22'' and costs $22 dollars. We sell them unframed so you can personalize them as you see fit. If you want it framed locally Heritage Frames on Main Street here in Tarrytown is offering a 20% discount on the framing you pick for this print. We encourage you to come by soon. The expectation is that we will be sold out by Halloween. If they are as popular as we expect we will look into having T-shirts done next. Come by and have a look. We would love to hear what you think!

Springtime and New Jewelry
The daffodils are blooming, the birds are singing, and the new jewelry orders are coming in the door. As we shed our coats and sweaters, there is a little more skin to show off. Back in February we went to our favorite trade show and ordered some amazing handmade sparkle for you to wear.
Being in business for 22 years has given us the opportunity to work with so many artists. Over the years some have come and gone, others have left and come back. And because we are always on the prowl for something new we are finding goodies in all kinds of places.
As the trees leaf out and the weather gets warmer I'm sure all of you will come out of hibernation and we'll see you around town. There are lots of new gifts coming in over the season. By Mother's Day (May 8th) we will be flush with pretty things.

Holiday Open House
It's that time of the year again. Time for our annual Holiday Open House! Boxes and boxes of beautiful goodies from our artists have been unpacked and the giant roll of holiday gift wrap is at the ready. The party is this Saturday and Sunday with a preview on Friday night on 3rd Friday. Refreshments will be served while you shop and check off those gifts from your holiday list. It is a perfect way to ease into the holidays.
Another way to celebrate the season is to give to a good charity. Have you ever wished all your gifts could be wrapped by Whimsies? Well, here is your chance. To help us raise money for a group that has touched our hearts, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, we are wrapping to raise money. Come with your gifts Sunday, December 5th and 12th from 1pm to 4pm or Thursday, December 9th from 6pm to 9pm. Prices will vary depending on the size of the item and while you wait you can visit with a few of the trainees. Don't make us beg! Help us raise funds for these amazing dogs.
