What a find!! If you're looking for some very unique and interesting antique furniture, fixtures or…read moreany kind of art pieces, you gotta check this shop out! It's like an antique furniture store in the front and an art gallery in back lol! It also has lots of outdoor decor outside the entrance. I found a gorgeous desk and some light fixtures of interest- even a lovely panel of stained glass! And there were tons of beautiful paintings and sculptures wow! The owner, Judy, was there and she was sooo friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable! The hours are 12-4 Tuesday - Saturday but they take appointments too. My only issue is that the prices were quite steep for our budget, but Judy seemed more than willing to negotiate. I could certainly drop quite a bit of cash in here lol! Definitely planning a return trip!

The owner, Tracy has put together a terrific eclectic collection of items that never fail to make me smile whenever we shop there. You will find everything from modern art to an antique small mechanical music box. My husband is a designer and he loves shopping the collection in this store. And, it helps that Tracy is not only a lot of fun, but also very knowledgeable of every item in her shop to general information about all things mid-century. Also take advantage of the great taco stand next door (Mony's) and walking around the funk zone. Highly recommended

We wandered in during a short vacation getaway and bought a lovely "Fu Dog" style sculpture of a horse. Highly recommended and a must-see if you're interested in vintage art and furniture from the last 100 years.

There are two Whimsy locations in Carp. This one is off the beaten path. I didn't care for it,…read morewhich is a personal preference, given the other reviews. It felt like the merchandise had been thrown in to the space with little regard for organization, let alone styling for visual effect. Given the charm of the merchandising of the Linden Avenue shop, this did not compare in a good light. The exterior has a lot going for it, but the interior needed a lot of attention when we visited on New Year's Eve. There's a fine line between vintage items and antiques presenting as interesting and collectible versus appearing to be dusty old junk. Takes an artistic hand to display the objects in a creative and intriguing way. I wasn't feeling the charm or whimsy at this Whimsy.

The guy was trying to prove some sort of past purchase in order to get a refund and the cashier couldn't verify something one way or the other...yadda yadda... And so we hurried our visit just to get the hell outta Dodge with all the tension brewing...really to no one's fault. Life happens, disagreements happen. I will say that they had SOME cute things that you could actually USE. Things that were FUNCTIONAL and could come in handy...more than I can say for some other antique shops that do nothing but collect useless, random junk. The place looked a bit disheveled during our visit though. They could use some organization tips on displaying things by category or something. Other than that, the visit was ok

Now being the only 2 people in this small intimate space, I was so uncomfortable being she didn't acknowledge my presence at all, not helpful, not interested if I had any interest.. it was thee most unpleasant service ever experienced.. with in a minute of me entering, a young couple came in, received the same welcome, and walked out. I spent 2 minutes looking around, and then walking out as well just for the simple fact I couldn't have felt more that I was a bother to her. Very disappointed, it seems like a neat place to explore if you're feeling welcomed.
