Whimsies was always the shop around the corner. Greetings and smiles were exchanged as people stopped by. Retail has always been for me about connecting with people.</span></div>

Years ago, the norm in the retail business was company representatives coming to the store, and showing us their products in person. We got to take a tactile look at the beautiful things that would eventually make it to our shelves. This personalized level of service has gone to the wayside in favor of paper catalogs and shopping online. Even trade shows have lost their momentum, as costs of wholesale exhibiting has steadily risen while attendance has dropped off.</span></div>

Computers allow people to shop 24/7 at the click of a button, making it at times hard to compete as a brick and mortar store. For every customer that takes a look around the shop and enjoys the mix of products, at least 1/3 (maybe more) will ask if you have an online store. Be it at that moment they don’t have a need for that piece of pottery … or can’t make up their mind… or dollars are scarce. They want to shop as their schedule allows (so a late-night computer date is perfect!).</span></div>

From May 20th to the 26th is National Small Business Week, and since we are a small business, we decided to do a little something for the customers that keep us in business. We're having a Customer Appreciation Raffle!<br />
<br />
For every $25 you spend in Whimsies, you are entered to win a $100 gift certificate to the store... and you know us, our gift certificates NEVER expire!<br />
<br />
Entering the contest is easy: just stop by and shop. The threshold is $25, so if you spend $100, you get 4 chances to win!<br />
<br />
<b>The raffle drawing will take place on Sunday, May 27th. You need not be present to win.</b><br />

Our Spring Sale kicked off this weekend, and will continue until Sunday, March 25th. Why do we have this sale at this time every year? To make room for the goodies that are coming in!<br />
<br />
Every year at the end of January, we attend the NY International Gift Fair at the Javits Center. It's a big show but we only find a few things there. Just a small portion of the show fits in at Whimsies because of our high standards (i.e. We're picky!). In order to find our usual unique, handmade, original, and often up-cycled goodies we drive to Philadelphia for the Buyers Market of American Craft (in February). Philadelphia is a fun city to visit anyway but to wander aisles of handmade goodness and picking the best for you is a real joy. We visit old friends and meet new crafters and artists that we hope you'll like too.<br />
<br />
So, help us empty our shelves of the sale items so we have room to unpack the boxes of merchandise we have coming in... new pottery, new jewelry, new stuffed animals, glassware, sushi sets, and more! Stuff that made us say, "Wow, I've never seen anything like this before!"<br />
<br />
See you soon,<br />

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 <a href="http://www.heritageframe.com/">Heritage Frames</a> 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!Whimsies Incognitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17545375690904108706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961320962947198452.post-78401206578140272722011-04-08T12:25:00.001-04:002011-04-08T12:32:29.723-04:00Springtime and New Jewelry<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><br />
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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BaN3LB20aKU/TZ8qcHKHf9I/AAAAAAAAAHo/8QfkHys5XpM/s1600/photo%25289%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BaN3LB20aKU/TZ8qcHKHf9I/AAAAAAAAAHo/8QfkHys5XpM/s320/photo%25289%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> 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.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HbzZxRo6iZY/TZ8qeSgld-I/AAAAAAAAAHs/J59E4CIasGg/s1600/photo%252810%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HbzZxRo6iZY/TZ8qeSgld-I/AAAAAAAAAHs/J59E4CIasGg/s320/photo%252810%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>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.<br />

This weekend we are going to our FAVORITE wholesale show. It's called The Buyers Market of American Craft in Philadelphia. On this shopping trip we get to meet artists who just do small-run work. These are the people who you only can find in a small shop, not a big box retailer. (Not to toot our own horn or anything) Beautiful glass, pottery, jewelry, wall art, and weavings just to mention a few of the goodies we get to shop for. We have many artists that have been with us for years but we are always in the market for new ones. There is nothing like seeing new work in person. Catalogs will never do them justice. <u>While we are busy shopping, the store will be <b>closed on Sunday, February 20th</b>.</u> Hope you don't miss us too much but we will make sure you see all the new goodies when you come back in.</span><br />

The time comes for summer to cool into autumn. As the days grow a little shorter, we start to think ahead to the bustle of the holidays. Don't worry — we aren't stringing lights in the front window yet. We just need to make some room for new arrivals. So we're having a sale!<br /></span> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Women's summer accessories: 50% off</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Picnic baskets and picnic mats: 30% off</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Bottle-cap belts: 50% off</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Erin Smith wall art: 30% off</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >All Blue Q recycled bags: 30% off</span> <br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">... and a few surprises you'll have to come in and see for yourself.</span><br /></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 255);font-family:trebuchet ms;" >As an added bonus, you can get 20% off any non-sale items in the store if you print out this post or use the phrase "I have a paperless coupon".</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> This sale only lasts until September 19th, so hurry in for the best selection. </span>Whimsies Incognitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17545375690904108706noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961320962947198452.post-19209913962184438752010-06-18T09:59:00.000-04:002010-06-18T18:32:53.208-04:00Sailing Into Summer<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3I6fzGMzxBo/TBt7sFIpOwI/AAAAAAAAAGU/bSybRWN7nPM/s1600/DSC05521.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3I6fzGMzxBo/TBt7sFIpOwI/AAAAAAAAAGU/bSybRWN7nPM/s400/DSC05521.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a> </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Hudson River is a huge part of our local identity. From Whimsies, we can see the sailboats drifting up and down the river from spring through fall. It is so relaxing. We are so inspired by them that we wanted to decorate our front window with sailboats. There is a great <a href="http://annwood.net/blog/2009/12/11/paper-mache-boat-pattern/">pattern</a> online that made it easy. Thanks to a little help from our friends we were able to make them using scraps, recycling, and leftovers.<br /><br />We really had a great time putting them together. We wanted to make all our hard work pay off so we decided to raffle off the boats as a fundraiser for <a href="http://www.theneighborhoodhouse.org/">The Neighborhood House</a> in Tarrytown. The Neighborhood House is a wonderful organization that organizes senior programs and activities. They also "encourage meaningful social interactions and connections across ethnic, intergenerational, and economic lines". The tickets are $5 each and the drawing will be held next 3rd Friday on July 16th at our shop (though you don't need to be present for the drawing to win!).<br /><br />Please stop by to take a look at the boats and pick up a ticket or two. Each winner will get to pick the boat of their choice, first come, first serve. If you're here at drawing time you can take your boat home right away.<br /></div>Whimsies Incognitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17545375690904108706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961320962947198452.post-72822596128726585522010-04-30T16:42:00.000-04:002010-04-30T21:43:12.447-04:00The Key to Everything<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3I6fzGMzxBo/S51KSX133II/AAAAAAAAAGE/SwDRqhLq6ms/s1600-h/DSC05283.JPG"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3I6fzGMzxBo/S51KSX133II/AAAAAAAAAGE/SwDRqhLq6ms/s400/DSC05283.JPG" alt="" border="0"></a> </div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Skeleton keys are a classic symbol of discovery. The Romans used them as a symbol of Janus, the god of doorways. He kept unwanted energy out of the home. These beautiful key designs from Sparrow are a happy addition to our very particular selection of handmade jewelry. You can get just a key to add to an existing necklace, or add a leather string to hang it from. Lots of words are available to inspire you. The metal used is pewter, with one of two finishes: silver or antique brass. The sizes vary, and you can easily mix words together. This just might be the graduation or Mother's Day gift you're looking for.<br /></span>Whimsies Incognitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17545375690904108706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961320962947198452.post-47499388111520121952010-03-14T16:46:00.000-04:002010-03-14T19:22:37.056-04:00Annual Spring Sale!It's that time again: springtime!<br /><br />We love spring, and one way we celebrate is to have our <font style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" size="4">Annual Spring Sale</font>. To make room for all the pretty new things we have on order, we need to do a little spring cleaning. Items will be marked with colored dots throughout the store, and each color matches a percentage discount. <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">Sale items will be discounted from 20% to 50% off</span> the original price. A great mix of goodies will be discounted, including winter accessories, pottery, jewelry, glass, and more.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">The sale starts on Tuesday, March 16th.</span> By coincidence, this is also our one-year anniversary in the new space! After 20 years on Main Street, we moved to 35 S. Broadway one year ago, and we are loving the new space. There are still a few of you that haven't had a chance to check out the new digs, and now would be the perfect time.

This horseman silhouette is just one of the many spooky pieces we have by artist Jan Blough. We also have beautiful Halloween cards and children's books. Of course there is also a wide selection of Meadowbrook Gourds to fill your home with the spirit of the season. The autumn temperatures always put us in the mood for hot tea. Just in time for the chill we have great new teas from Zhena's Gypsy Tea in flavors like Caramel Apple and Pumpkin Spice as well as many others. Don't let the cold get the best of you, stay warm. Boxes and boxes for new hats, scarves and gloves have been unpacked for you to see. Oh yes, and socks too. <br /><br />Did you know that we are on Facebook?
