5 out of 5 starsThe letter was well written and so beautiful. It's a gift for my sister/friend and I know she will love and appreciate a hand written letter. The seller was so patient with my late responses. Will definitely purchase from houseofwhimsy again!

An excerpt from the fictitious Professor Grimhatch's notes
House of Whimsy was born out of a desire to be creative through means other than sewing costumes and clothing.
House of Whimsy started as an outlet for all of my non-costume and clothing projects to live. My husband Widgett and I came up with the idea for a fictitious Professor Grimhatch whose otherworldly adventures would serve as a basis for all of the creative items in the shop (check out our profile if you'd like more information about the esteemed Professor).
I enjoy sculpting in polymer clay, and loved the idea of the urban fairy doors in Ann Arbor, so I started making some with quite strong personalities, from doors for a Fairy Princess Academy to a Pub.
My dog toys started from a need to find toys for my own Hellpuppy that I knew were safe and sturdy for her to play with. And after friends started asking for me to make cat toys as well, I discovered that she likes catnip! Weird dog...
Embroidery is one of my passions that I don't get to indulge in with costumes as much as I would like, so I started creating my own patterns to share (and as an excuse to try them out by making all of the samples myself).
Thank you for visiting my little store! I hope that you find some escape from the mundane in my creations.

Not only am I very important to the testing of pet toys here at House of Whimsy, but I'm also a morale-booster to the humans around here. The studio would be a much more boring place without me begging for food or lying down blocking walkways.
