Welcome!

The Whimsy Mercantile is a little bit of a lot of wonderful things. It’s a shop featuring handmade crafts from over a dozen talented vendors, thrifted treasures, herbal remedies, skin care, and tea.

Directions

The Whimsy Mercantile has moved to the Virgil Community Living Center located at 1208 Church Street in Virgil, NY 13045 (formerly the Virgil Elementary School). Just look for the building at the 4 corners in Virgil. Use the parking lot at the rear of the building next to the playground and use the walkway to get to the front. Use the “Girls” entrance at the front of the building. For handicapped access, there are parking spots at the front of the building. The main entrance also has a ramp.

Coming from the Ithaca or Dryden area, the Whimsy is a 5 to 10 minute drive from the 4-way intersection in Dryden. Head East on route 392 and the Virgil Community Living Center is on the left.
If you’re coming from Ithaca, route 392 East is straight through the Dryden 4-way light.
Park in the large lot behind the building. If you see playground equipment, you’re in the right place. Then use the sidewalk to go to the front of the building.
There are two entrances to choose from. The front entrance is handicapped accessible. The “Girls” entrance gets you directly to the Whimsy.

Join the Whimsy’s Death-Centered Book Club

The Whimsy Mercantile has its own book club where we read a death-centered or grief related book each month and discuss our feelings around the topic in a safe, supportive atmosphere. It’s fun and healing at the same time. The book club is run by a death doula and a librarian, what more could you ask for?!
