About the Owner

Hello! My name is Meredith! I'm the owner of Lore & Whimsy. I'm a librarian (I have my MLIS) and I work in a library as my fulltime job. I'm a huge fan of pastels, florals, celestial and cottagecore themes.

I spend my free time reading as well as reviewing books on my bookstagram account: @loreofthebooks.

I have a huksy named Poppy, and two cats, Circe and Pippa.

About Lore & Whimsy

Lore & Whimsy was founded in July 2023. The name was inspired by my original bookstagram account "Lore of the Books". Lore came about because of my obsession with mythology and folklore. Whimsy came from my friend Lauren, when I was trying to come up with another portion of the name. Whimsy ended up fitting me and how I felt.

Growing up, I always watched my mother doing really creative projects (from sewing our halloween costumes to building lamps) and so that is partially what inspired me.

I've been a reader since I was little, so being able to combine multiple of my passions together was amazing. Not only that, I got to work with some of my favorite authors and favorite books.

My stickers and bookmarks are all handmade in house!
