October at Local Whimsy! Sip & Stroll, Women to Watch, & a Fall Recipe Favorite!
It's officially fall, y'all!
It’s officially fall, and October is shaping up to be a big month for us!
I hope you’re getting used to seeing our newsletters. Kids are finally back in school, and it feels like I have brain cells again. 😉
Sip & Stroll – October 12th
It’s time to sip, stroll, and shop! We are so excited to be a wine stop once again for the Gig Harbor Waterfront Annual Sip & Stroll happening on October 12 from 2 pm - 6 pm.
How fun is it that this event also marked our opening weekend last year?
We can’t wait to serve you again!
Women to Watch – October 24th

Halloween Fun at Local Whimsy
As moms, we know it's great to have options beyond candy for Halloween fun! That’s why we’ve stocked up on some awesome Halloween items, including our personal favorite, imaginative play playdough. But for the candy lovers (because what’s Halloween without sweet treats?), we’ve got you covered with our fully stocked freeze-dried candies. Be sure to try the latest flavor—candy corn! We’re always offering samples, so don’t miss out next time you stop by.
We’ll also be handing out candy on Halloween, so bring your little ones by! I’m already wondering who we’ll dress up as this year... stay tuned!
Whimsy Faves!
If you're reading our newsletters, then consider us friends! And what do friends do? They share their meal plans, because let's face it—who wants to be on that journey alone for the rest of our lives? Not me!
So whether it’s a favorite recipe, a go-to coffee order, or what Caasi and I are up to with our little ones, we’ll be sharing it here in case you need some ideas too.
It’s officially SOUP SEASON! I’ve been obsessed with Half Baked Harvest’s Buffalo White Bean Chicken Chili for two years now, and it never gets old. Recently, I started adding Yukon Gold potatoes to make it even heartier. If you're planning your meals this week, definitely add this one to the list, it’s the perfect cozy fall dish, and the leftovers are even better! Let me know if you try it out!
As always, thank you for being part of the Local Whimsy community! See you at these events or in the shop soon! 🍂
All the best,
Salena & Caasi
