IMPORTANT WHIMSICAL WOMEN UPDATE: Possible rain delay

Though we know forecasts can change, at this point it looks like Saturday has a good chance of rain all across the state. The good news is that Sunday, our planned rain date, should be a beautiful fall day in Winston-Salem.

We remain hopeful that this rain event will arrive late and we can hold our festival on Saturday as planned, but PLEASE CHECK THIS SITE FRIDAY EVENING AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING FOR UPDATES!!!

We also ask that you pass this information on to anyone you think plans to attend the show.

Thanks so much, and we can't wait to see you this weekend!

Big changes for November 19 Fall Show!

This post is for current Whimsical Women: please watch your email inbox for the registration form for the November 19 fall sale. This will arrive in your inbox on July 24. Forms must be returned to Lizzie Kaplin by July 31.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO WHIMSICAL WOMEN CUSTOMERS

Please note this important announcement about the spring sale: after careful and heartfelt consideration, we have decided that we will not have a spring show in Chapel Hill.  We will focus on the fall show in Pfafftown, and we hope that you will continue to support us as we make this transition.  We thank you for your loyalty and hope to see you in November!

Last sneak peek of the season!

The Fall Show is tomorrow! Don't forget to bring your donations for Warrior Service Dogs and the Malawi Project, as well as your own shopping bags. Read everything you need to know about tomorrow's show here, and enjoy this last sneak of the season from artist Sandy Parks. We'll see you tomorrow!

 Snap bags: fun and functional! These make great gift bags or holders for jewelry 

and all kinds of accessories.

 Hello Dottie! The Dottie doll is available unstuffed and comes with directions for finishing. A great gift for future whimsical artists!

Pillowcase dresses!

All Things Ubby

When artist Deborah Bujnak was a child, her little brother and sister called her "Ubby"--that's how "Debbie" came out. Now Deborah creates under that name, and All Things Ubby is a mix of both her doll making and animal safety passions.

Debbie's Minkories is a compassionate doll-making adventure in which Debbie makes a new huggable creation from a family heirloom such as an old fur coat or flannel shirt. And All Things Bindle is pet "luggage" that can easily hang off your pet's crate or near their leash, a place to collect tags, vet records, and other needs.

Debbie will be donating four Bindle Buddy Bags to Warrior Service Dogs--don't forget your donation on Saturday! And be sure to check out All Things Ubby at the sale to learn more about Debbie's art. We'll see you soon!

Weavings and Trees

Presenting beautiful hand-woven baskets and trees by Pamela Buchanan, 

perfect for holiday decorating.

Outside Inspiration

 

Artist Karen McCall spends lots of time in the woods, and what she encounters outside inspires her artwork.  

She uses acrylic paints made for fabric to paint the flour sack towels and onesies, and her cards are linoleum block prints.  She carves the design out of a linoleum block. This process is almost like creating a negative of a photograph, carving out the opposite of what will be printed. Karen leaves the cards blank so folks can add their own greetings for whatever holiday they celebrate.

Beautiful Beads!

Check out some of the work Carolyn Fay, bead weaver and bead embroiderer. Her work includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pins.

 

 We'll see you soon!
