A Bunch of Whimsy
Everyone needs a Bunch of Whimsy in their lives
A Bunch of Whimsy or ABW is a boutique style website, and retail store, which offers a variety of items from handcrafted to vintage items and antiques.
ABW is the collaboration of Amber and Aileen. We are artists and resellers in the Carleton Place area.
Our vision is to have a location where vendors can sell their wares at a place that is open 7 days a week from 10:00 to 5:00. A less stressful location than selling things at a market or craft show. We have so many wonderful vendors from the area, and other parts of Canada, who have joined with us in store and online.
Check our website and social medias to keep up to date on events, workshops and just awesome things happening at A Bunch of Whimsy!
