Whimzee participated in there first event today at "Fall Dayz" located at the Maple View Agricultural Center in Hillsborough. This was the first time that the store has done anything like this.

Welcome Elizabeth Yarboro to our store

Read Elizabeth's Biography:

I am a 56 year old woman. I am blessed to be alive. In 1998 I was hit by a semi eighteen wheeler truck on the way to work one morning. I prayed in Jesus' name to be taken out of the car alive and the next thing I knew I was holding the inside guard rail on the interstate with a broken knee, two bones broken in the top of my right foot and two bulging disks in my back but I was alive! My car had went back across 4 lanes of traffic and was sitting off the road with the seat belt still hooked and the doors locked. God took me out of that vehicle and saved my life that day. I lived to see my daughter graduate from college the next year. I lived to see her get married that year. I got married again the next year to a wonderful man and we will have our tenth anniversay next year. In 2000 I was at the hospital when my first grandson was born (he is 9 now) and I was at the hospital 2 years ago when my second grandson was born. My parents are in their eighties and still with me and I am blessed to spend time with them. I have every reason to thank God every day. I am very excited about selling at Whimzee. I create a lot of different items. I love crafting and decor. I make all kind of baby items such as diaper cakes, wreaths, candy and cupcakes made with baby items and diapers. I also make floral items. My newest item is a pumpkin topiary which will be at Whimzee starting next week.

Welcome Lisa and Jeff Ross to our store

Read Lisa & Jeff''s Biography:

Lisa and Jeff Ross are the artists behind Eclectikos. With over 60 years of combined experience, they produce their unique pottery and jewelry creations from their studio in the woods of central North Carolina’s Piedmont region.Lisa began taking basic and then advanced pottery classes at two Texas colleges in the Dallas area in the late 1970s. After acquiring basic skills, including clay and glaze formulation, she developed an interest in slab techniques, focusing primarily on sculptural pottery and raku. During that time, she began to show and sell her work. After moving to North Carolina in the mid-1980s, Lisa continued taking classes, first at Central Carolina Community College in Sanford and then at Jordan Arts Center in Cary.
While Lisa has extensive wheelwork experience, she prefers handbuilding with slabs or extruded forms as well as creating wearable art by combining clay accents with metal, glass, crystal, leather, or hemp. Natural and fantasy forms are common themes in her work, and she also draws upon Celtic, Greek, Egyptian and Roman mythologies to design or decorate her pieces. Jeff first began studying pottery in the mid 1970s with Dan Hammett at the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas. There he studied clay and glaze formulation, as well as basic and intermediate pottery techniques. In the intervening years, he has continued his interest and involvement in pottery, taking classes at Central Carolina Community College in Sanford and, most recently, at Jordan Hall Arts Center in Cary. While he has a strong interest in wheel work, Jeff also produces hand-built forms. Much of his work is influenced by the pottery of ancient cultures and forms from nature, as well as the folk pottery traditions of central North Carolina.

Welcome Stacy Lewis to our store

Read Stacy's Biography:

Stacy Lewis is a North Carolina artist whose watercolor and acrylic paintings reflect her love of nature, especially animals. While they are built on a solid drawing foundation, their dramatic use of color and “animated” quality make them unique. Stacy lives on a small hobby farm in Louisburg, where she raises fancy chickens, guinea fowl and miniature dairy goats, all of whom appear in her most recent works along with cats, dogs and other pets. Her paintings and farm companion pictures can be found at http://www.stacylewis.com/.
