The Heart Behind the Whimsy

The Whimsical Spirit started during a sudden career change in 2025, but what I didn't know is that the spark behind it had been quietly growing for years. Before this business, I spent several years working as a Service Manager for a commercial fitness distributor, with an amazing team that I still to this day consider family. It was a very different world from wreaths, florals, ribbons, holiday trees, and magical front doors! But when that chapter suddenly closed, I found myself standing at a crossroads. I could either play it safe, or I could finally listen to the creative little voice that had been getting louder and louder. So I jumped in head first.

Why Decorating Still Matters

My love for decorating has always been a huge part of who I am, especially during the holidays. Halloween has always had my heart, and long before The Whimsical Spirit officially existed, my home holiday display, Terrors on Aspen, became one of the places where that love came to life. Every year, hundreds of people would stop, smile, take pictures, bring their families by, and look forward to seeing what we created next season. That display showed me something important: decorating is not just about making a space look pretty. It creates memories. It gives people something to look forward to. It brings neighbors together. It makes kids excited, adults nostalgic, and ordinary nights feel a little more magical. And honestly, I think we need more of that.

The world has felt heavier, especially lately. Everything costs more. Traditions can feel harder to keep up with. The spirit of the holidays does not always feel as bright as it used to, and more and more people are decorating less each year: not because they do not care, but because life is busy, expensive, and exhausting. That is where The Whimsical Spirit comes in.

Not Mass-Produced. Not Ordinary.

The Whimsical Spirit is not about filling your home with the same decor everyone else has. My handmade wreaths, centerpieces, bows, trees, door hangers, and seasonal designs are created with personality, detail, and intention - and once a handmade piece sells, that exact design belongs to that customer.

Alongside my handmade work, I also offer a curated selection of home accents and seasonal decor chosen to complement the same whimsical, warm, and anything-but-ordinary style. Whether it is handmade by me or carefully selected for the shop, every piece is meant to help your home feel more personal, more festive, and more like you.

A Little More Magic, One Home at a Time

The Whimsical Spirit is my way of helping bring back the feeling that decorating used to have - the excitement, the warmth, the memories, and that little spark of magic when a space finally feels just right.

Whether it is one handmade wreath on your front door, a centerpiece that makes your table feel ready for the season, a porch installation that welcomes guests before they even step inside, or a full holiday look that transforms your home, every piece and service is created with the same goal: to make your space feel special, personal, and full of life.

Because home decor should do more than fill a spot. It should make you smile when you walk by it. It should make your home feel welcoming, festive, and uniquely yours. And if The Whimsical Spirit can help bring even a little more joy, warmth, and whimsy into one home at a time, then that is exactly the kind of magic I want to keep creating.
