It is Monday and I am featuring Deb of Willow Tree Treasures on my blog today. Deb is such a sweet person! You need to stop by her Etsy shop and check out her wonderful creations. Her dogs are so cute!!
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!

We went on our last camping trip for the year. It was raining and blowing on Friday when we left. When we got to the camp ground, we discovered my bike fell off on they way. I was devastated! This was a nice men's 21 speed bike!! I loved my bike and could not believe it was gone. Hubby worried that it could have caused a wreck or someone got hurt.
We ended up having a good time hiking on Saturday. The first picture is my kids on the suspension bridge. The second is a trail after the bridge through the rocks. We took this trail (very rugged) and the dog was with us. 3 1/2 hours later, scaling rocks and doing many stairs up and down, we made it back. On the trip home we kept our eyes pealed for my bike, no luck! Someone has a nice bike now ! Hubby had to buy me a new one now. I have been looking and hope to have one soon.
Hugs
