THE WHIMSILY EVER AFTER STORY

Hi! I'm Shelley!

I'm the human behind Whimsily Ever After. I have always loved making and creating with my hands, from painting and knitting to drawing and baking, making is what makes me happy.

What else makes me happy?  My Cats!  I have had cats my entire life.

Here is photographic proof ---->

Drawing with one hand

and hugging my kitty, Tigger

(aka Orange) with the other.

​

Side Note: I'm right handed

so you can see what was

more important.

I graduated from Otis College of Art and Design with a BFA in Children's Toy Design. After over 13 years I walked away from a dream job/career designing children's toys to try my hand at being my own boss.

I left with the plan to keep designing children toys, but soon came to discover

that my cats were the ones that needed some whimsy added to their toy box.

​

My beloved Pebbles and Mika were my inspiration!

​

Now I loved spoiling Pebbles and Mika with toys but all the pet stores seemed to have as options were balls and mice.

I have a sense of humor, and I swear my cats had a sense of humor, so they needed funnier toys.

I started out making a cheeseburger, being inspired by a certain LOL cat site,

because I figured maybe my cat does want and, with my help, can have a cheeseburger!

Photographing my cats with the toys made for some pretty hilarious shots.

I started thinking, just maybe, other cat lovers would like their cats to have some funny quality toys to play with too.

​

Living with cats might not be the happily ever after you hear about in fairytales but they do bring Joy and Love.

BAM! Whimsily Ever After was born.

​

Cats want to pounce and play, why not play in a whimsy way?

At least that is what they tell me.
