the amazing-ness that is whimsy

if you've been to a cool art gallery or flea market recently, you will probably know all about whimsy. it's an imaginary, illustrated world created by artist Amelia Smith, which is full of fantasy, adventure, and innocence. Amelia makes and sells limited edition prints, stationery, and t-shirts, among other things, all containing a bit of the magic and charm of whimsy. here are some of my favourite prints:




i love whimsy because it reminds me of childhood and imaginary friends and raucous games of hide-and-seek. it's simple and delicate and beautiful.

the whimsy website is also quite a work of art! you can see it for yourself here
