August 3rd Friday

 

Just a friendly reminder that this Friday is 3rd Friday in Tarrytown. Come on over and see us as we extend our Sidewalk Sale for another week. Summer hats and bags are on sale, too. Our special 3rd Friday discount will also be in effect: 10% off all regular priced items. We'll have drinks and snacks, so come hang out with us. It's a great night to check out Tarrytown. We will be open till 9 pm for your browsing pleasure.

If you are intrigued by the bracelet pictured above, you'll enjoy our new jewelery. The bracelet is from Quirk of Art by Beth Taylor. She does some amazing pieces incorporating silver and found objects. Bingo chips, typewriter keys and tin cans are just some of the components she uses to style many beautiful jewelry pieces. Come in and try on a conversation-starting necklace or pair of earrings.

Weekend Sale! July 17th, 18th & 19th

Happy 3rd Friday!

Tonight we celebrate by having a sidewalk sale — but our sale table will be inside since the weather forecast is not too pretty. That way, you can enjoy the air conditioning with us. To spice things up a little, we also will have all summer hats and handbags priced at 20% off. And just for good measure we will have all Chelsey Henry bags 25% off. The sale will last all weekend, so you can come by on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to check out the goods. See you soon!

July 3rd Friday!

This Friday, July 17th we will be having a special sale for 3rd Friday. The theme this month is “Sidewalk Sale.” Just to be on the safe side, because of our recent wet weather, we will have a table set up inside. Along with our discounted items, we will also offer a storewide discount of 10% off on all regularly-priced items. The sale will begin at 5 pm and continue until 9 pm.

Come in and check out the selection. If you haven't stopped in since we moved we would love to show you the new digs.

3rd Friday is a great time to visit Tarrytown. Most of the shops and restaurants in town take part in the festivities and stay open late.

See you soon!

Tarrytown Street Fair

Street Fair/Friends of Whimsies Tag Sale: Sunday, June 7

There is a lot going on in Tarrytown this weekend, including events celebrating the Hudson Fulton Quadricentennial — for more on Sleepy Hollow & Tarrytown River Day, which includes fireworks at dusk on June 6, check out the Quadricentennial blog. Another popular event is the Tarrytown Street Fair, which will take over downtown on Sunday, June 7.

Just because we moved from Main Street doesn't mean we are going to stop our traditional “Friends of Whimsies” tag sale. This year it will be a yard sale, since we have a front yard at the new location. There will be strange odds and ends as well as vintage goodies in the offering all day Sunday. You never know what you will find.

If you’ve come to our tag sale in the past, you know the fun to be had. The Junior League’s Nearly New Shop will also be open with a great selection of ladies’ clothes.

While you’re checking out the Street Fair, please come in and see the new space. Our location is great, with loads of new goodies to choose from. And for more information on the Tarrytown Street Fair, visit the Sleepy Hollow Tarrytown Chamber of Commerce web site.

See you Sunday!

May Third Friday

 

The weather is just getting better and better. The forecast is looking pretty good for Friday evening. Third Friday happens every month, but springtime is when it starts to get busy. There are lots of things happening in town, including art openings and fun stuff for the kids -- stop by and we can fill you in. You can also check out Tarrytown 3rd Friday. Most of the stores stay open late so you can shop after you have dinner at one of Tarrytown's many restaurants.

Of course, we will be open late. If you received a postcard from us in the last few weeks, please bring it in -- we are having a prize drawing and to enter you need the postcard. We are also collecting email addresses for our new email list so please send that to whimsiesincognito@gmail.com. Just put "email list" in the subject line so we can find it easily. We promise to treat this list the same way as our snailmail list. We will never share any of your information with anyone. We also promise to not overload your inbox with daily junk. It will just be used for important information about sales and events.

We hope to see you Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello everyone, and happy Mother's Day. Many of you already received our latest postcard reminding you about our recent move. If you have the postcard and would like to enter the prize drawing, all you have to do is come by and hand in your card with your phone number written on it. If you didn't receive a card and would like to be on our snailmail list, just stop by and sign up.

We are ready for Mother's Day with lots of beautiful jewelry, frames, scarves, pottery, glass, handbags, totes, and even picnic baskets. The art work you see above is another great addition to our offerings. It's from Kathleen Taylor's "Green is Good Art" series, printed on recycled board using environmentally friendly inks. We have a good selection of the series including women and dogs. Along with Kathleen's work we have many other artists to choose from.

If you haven't had a chance to check out our new space, now is the time. Just a warning, though: we are closed on Mother's Day, so come by soon.
