Madame Mixie loves a good treasure hunt! ✨

My newest vintage toy find is this adorable set of old DQ toys. The ice cream was missing from the cone, so I got creative and made one of my favorite childhood treats — a vanilla crunch cone! 🍦💛

Sometimes a little imagination is all it takes to bring an old toy back to life.

Meet Tabitha 🐌💜

She’s a little shy… a little quiet… and very, very gentle.

Tabitha is here for anyone who needs a soft place to land. If you’re feeling shy, unsure, or just need a moment to warm up — she’ll sit with you at snail speed.

🎩✨ Oh, the places we’ll READ! ✨🎩

Today in the Whimsy Lab, we celebrated the birthday of the marvelous and magical Dr. Seuss! 📚💫

Madame Mixie has her March book display out and ready — filled with stories about wiggly worms, fluffy bunnies, and even a few plans for catching pesky leprechauns! 🪱🐰🍀

March is creeping in, and Asher my black cat is here to bring you some magical facts! 🐾✨

Did you know that in Ireland, black cats are seen as symbols of good luck, prosperity, and protection? 🍀🖤

Looks like Asher isn’t just charming… he’s lucky too! 🌈

Big feelings happen — sadness, anger, anxiety. 💜

In the Whimsy Lab, Madame Mixie is learning simple calming strategies from Breathe by Inês Castel-Branco — because sometimes the biggest magic is just taking a deep breath. 🌬️

Madame Mixie spent the day with some amazing 3rd graders reading about all the different feelings that live in our hearts 💕

Then we turned to science and experimented with baking soda hearts and vinegar to reveal a fizzy surprise! 🧪 🐢

Madame Mixie can feel spring start to whisper in the air! ☀️✨

Warmer weather means more exploring, more curiosity, and more chances to find magic all around us — which reminds me of the book A Pocket Full of Rocks.

Kids love collecting little treasures from nature — shells, rocks, leaves, and all the tiny wonders that spark big imaginations. 🌿🪨✨

Madame Mixie and her amazing associates had a wonderful afternoon spreading love and smiles with the residents of Arbor Grove 💕

We shared a heartwarming story reminding us that we are never truly alone, and then headed into the whimsy lab to mix up a magical love potion together!

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💘Share the love today and always!
