Where do you get your whimsy decor?

2 Upvotes

Previously lived alone for many years and my home was truly my sanctuary, was a reflection of me, felt whimsical, feminine, and so welcoming.
Moved in with my partner a few years ago and through blending of homes and a few moves, I’ve really lost my sense of a home that feels like me. Desperately trying to bring that feeling back.

Please don’t tell me about big box stores, I’m not buying my whimsy from Target thank you.
I frequent thrift stores and have found some things here and there but you really have to dig.

Mushroom decor is my favorite, have a ton of little decor things. Anything earthy, green, or weird and colorful. I have house plants but have to keep them in a greenhouse outside because my cats are heathens, so no real plants or anything inside unfortunately.

I'm just about to head to the hospital for a pulmonary appointment. (Ironic considering I've actually been feeling sleepy/groggy all day long today, haha😅)

Got my emotional support Kitty and my book to read whilst I wait.

I've been sighing over the Lenox spice village for a decade now, but as a European they're impossible to get for any kind of reasonable prices. But then Flying Tiger did a little collection of more simple houses, and I pounced 🥹 everyone keeps telling me it's ugly as sin, but I'm so happy about it.

The ears on my Totaro backpack were breaking off so I added some bows to reinforce them and cover up the cracks.

I made a whimsical jar I’m unlikely to misplace to stop losing my memory cards (swipe for process pics)

It’s working so far, all my SD cards are being guarded by a squirrel. Air dry clay and acrylic paint.
