Monday Marketplace Featured OFG Artist WillowTree Treasures

1. What is the name of your Etsy shop and why did you choose that name?
My shop name is Willowtree Treasures.
As a child I had a willowtree that was located
 in our back lawn. Every time the branches would
float in the wind it seemed so magical to me.
 I thought some day ...if I looked hard enough...
I may find treasures nestled beneath the
 moving of these branches.


2. How long have you been on Etsy?
I have been on Etsy for a little over a year.


3. What type of items do you offer?
I offer items that range from extreme primitive
to primitive with a touch of vintage appeal.
I create dolls, doll lamps, pincushions,
doll pins, hang tags, door greeters, shelf
sitters and much more to aid in home decoration.


4. How long have you been crafting?
I have been creating for about 10 years.
 I started with primitive jar lamps
surrounded by a layer of moss and silicone
 bulbs as the lighting source.  When I began to sew
 I then began adding the half dolls to my lamp creations.
I then graduated to full dolls, ornies and doll pins.
 My business branched out from there.


5. Who or What inspires you?
Life in general inspires me .
The life stories people have to share
 of their triumphs and disappointments
I also find as inspirational!


6. What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
My favorite item in my shop is Annie
and the Clairabelle cow. I found the construction
of this set to be very challenging and did a lot
of techniques for the first time! This project I truly had
 a hard time putting down until is was completed
because of my interest in seeing the
final product when it was finished!
