"Catfish" by Tabatha Renegar

The Fall Sale is just a few days away, and the Whimsicals can't wait! We are looking forward to another wonderful sale as well as some exciting changes! We will showcase our art at a new location down in the front yard, offer more parking for our customers, and this year, for the first time ever, you can use a credit card to pay for all of your beautiful new art. Don't forget to bring your $1 cash admission fee!

If you're able, please also bring along some toiletries or other goodies for the second annual Bras N' Boots drive! Please see the posts below for more details on what to bring.

Whimsical critters and quilted monogram by Ginnie Conaway.

Ginnie will be offering custom quilting in time for Christmas!

Furthermore, artist Adriana Granados would like to share another way you can help those in need at the fall sale: to raise money for elderly victims of recent Storm Sandy, Adriana will sell custom artwork! Bring along a favorite photograph, and Adriana will turn it into a lovely piece of canvas wall art, similar to the pieces above. (For more sample pieces, click here). These pieces make wonderful gifts for parents and grandparents, and Adriana will donate 100% of her profits from these pieces to Sandy victims.
