My Latest…

So, I’ve been in a bit of a frantic, crafting, fixing, painting, creating mood lately.  More so because I am starting to hear some awesome feedback from people excited to check out Whimsy Green…Yay!!  Thank you so much for your support, and we really hope we don’t disappoint!!  We are trying to pack the barn full with all sorts of goodies!   One that I was working on might not quite make it to the barn.  I hate that when that happens.  I kinda  fell in love with her.

Silly me forgot to take a before….seriously!  I told you I’m kind of in a mad rush!  But, it was a super fun antique chair a sweet lady gave to me as she was cleaning out her basement.  Thanks Chelsea!!

I painted the chair, distressed it, and then made a cute little seat cover for her.  She turned out pretty stinkin cute if I do say so myself!

Here’s a little peak of what’s hiding beneath…

not quite as cute…

p.s.  The pillow and a couple more like it will be at Whimsy:)  As well as a few more treasures:)  Stay tuned…

And as you go here’s a little food for thought that I read today on an amazing blog called A Holy Experience.

Who can expect to make sense of a loud world when they haven’t made quiet space before God?

Life is only noise until you’ve been quiet before God.

Happy Monday:)

I’m loving how it distressed!  I think she might find a home in the guest house:)

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
