The Story of Ivy’s Wands & Whimsies


We are a small, family business based out of Great Falls, Montana. Our secure online shop allows you to make purchases without paying sales tax!

Ivy’s Wands & Whimsies
was started as a 4th grade school assignment to create a business in class. At first, I had a desk cleaning business; it failed miserably. The only customer I had was the other kid with a desk cleaning business. I guess he felt sorry for me.

My teacher was the headmaster of the school’s Harry Potter Club, of which I became an enthusiastic member. Making magic wands seemed like a perfect fit and they were so popular, kids started to give me real money instead of classroom dollars! I started selling them at school and then decided to sell them at the Farmer’s Market in Great Falls, Montana in 2011, and have been selling there ever since. With the help of my parents, I have expanded my items to include other whimsical things I have made. Since 2014, we have had a booth at the Tizer Gardens Wizard and Fairy Festival near Helena, Montana. In 2021 we had a booth at the Lewistown Chokecherry Festival. We are beginning to explore other events as well.

In January of 2017, I started my Etsy store! In 2021 I started secure online shopping on this website.

Please visit my online shop and see what I have to offer. If you don’t specifically see what you would like, please let me know….I might not have posted it in the store yet!

I am deeply indebted to my fabulous parents who have helped and encouraged me every step of the way.

Having a business has taught me a lot and I enjoy sharing my imagination and making people happy.
