Welcome to Whimsy
'Eco-Friendly' does not need to be boring. Check out these NZ made products designed to brighten your day and still help save our planet. I hand craft upcycled refillable notebooks, sew book cosies, make upcycled bunting and sell the fantastic takeaway cups by Cuppacoffeecup.
Little Golden Book Notebooks $12.50
I preserve these pre-loved books by upcycling them into reusable notebooks. I add 80 pages of 100% recycled paper and keep the original story nestled at the back of these blank pages. These unique handmade notebooks make a cute eco-friendly gift idea, especially for book lovers
For sale at Etsy for global or Green Elephant for local

Lined Book Cosy with Pre-Loved Fabric and Zippered $28
I call it a book cosy but you can call it a tablet/computer/make-up/artist's cosy/pouch. Each one is unique - lined and padded with recycled natural fabric, a new zip and a funky zip pull are added. Some even have pockets (if they used to be an apron).

Vintage Little Golden Books (intact) starting at $10
I mainly sell Little Golden Books made into notebooks, on Etsy, but sometimes I find a book in my travels that I declare is too good to cut up. Either it is a first edition, 1970's or earlier or just in such good repair that it would be a valued addition to any child's bookcase, or in a collectors shelf.
