Jeanine and Peter Garcia moved to Iron River, MI in 2017 after having lived in several different states in the US, including Georgia, Louisiana, and California. Believe it or not – they love the winters here!“We love the Upper Peninsula and Iron River because not only is the scenery breathtaking, but the people are some of the kindest, most resilient people we’ve ever met in our life.”The idea behind “A Bit of Whimsy” came after seeing the impact local main street shops can have on ensuring a thriving local economy. Plus, they’ve gotten to know so many people in the Upper Peninsula who know artists or are artists themselves – it’s one of the reasons they’re so passionate about featuring local art in the shop.Their faith also plays a role in helping to curate a place where people can come to be around others and simply enjoy good company. Shop, visit, have a cup of coffee, stay awhile. This is what they aspire “A Bit of Whimsy” to become – a gathering place with really (like REALLY) cute clothes, whimsical decor, stunning jewelry, and unique art.
