COZY CREEK PRIMITIVES

I'm a self taught artist who was born and raised in Bucks County, PA, and now live in Colts Neck, NJ (hopefully to return to PA one day with my husband and fur babies!). I have been running my shop Cozy Creek Primitives for over a decade! Here in my little home-based shop, I value quality over quantity. I take my time and put lots of loving attention to detail into every original One-Of-A-Kind piece of art I create, along with plenty of imagination, uniqueness, and whimsy! I don't have anyone working with me or for me (well, except Scamper, the rather sizable Siberian Forest Cat I hired as my Production Oversight Manager). I create each and every doll, every stitch, every detail from start to finish by myself. I don’t use professional lighting, backgrounds or camera tricks to photograph my creations; they are never touched up; what you see is just what you get! My photos show my dolls in normal, every day backgrounds and regular home lighting conditions. I want you to see what they’ll look like in your warm and cozy home, not in a sterile and cold studio setting. I use only high quality materials to create my art. I make sure that my items are solid, sturdy and well constructed. I realize that my items aren't just a decoration for one season, or one holiday. I know they will be brought out year after year, or on display every day of the year. Some will be given to loved ones and special friends as gifts or even handed down to children and grandchildren... they become part of a family and a home, so I make sure each one is very special. I use only non-toxic, U.S.A.-sourced materials in the creation of my art and nothing that I use has a chemical odor. Chemicals bother me so I know they must bother others as well. The only scent my dolls will have are the light, pleasant, heart-warming smells of coffee, tea, cinnamon and vanilla. I use only hypoallergenic stuffing and all of my items are created in a completely smoke-free and clean environment. DISCLAIMER: Every piece of art I create has to first receive Scamper's "Kitten Paw Print of Approval" before it enters my shop for sale! Scamper loves to hang out on my work table to supervise and help with everything I do! Every piece of art is signed and dated by me, then stamped with a little paw print to represent Scamper! I enjoy knowing the items I create with my heart, here in my home surrounded by the love of my family, will be treasured by my customers as a part of their own homes and families! God Bless, Wendy Marro

GUEST POST: Hubby the Shipping Manager


"Thirteen years ago the dream began...."

Hi folks, Rob here, AKA 'The Cozy Creek Shipping Manager' and more importantly, the lucky husband of Wendy.  Today I asked Wendy if I might post a few words on the 'ol blog.  Not many people are blessed to meet a soulmate that makes them realize the expectations you had for a spouse weren't nearly high enough.


It was June 30th, 2006 that I stood on the altar of an ornate Gothic shrine church pictured above on the Jersey Shore in Point Pleasant Beach next to a priest and my best man.  Slowly walking towards me was the vision of an angelic princess in white; the most stunningly beautiful vision of womanhood I had ever beheld in my life.  It's not often that my heart skips a beat, but that day, it did; Wendy in her wedding gown literally took my breath away.  I still sit back and reflect on how 'new' it still feels, thirteen years later.  

I'm here to say 'thank you, Wendy' for making me realize the best years of my life began that day.  For the rest of my life, in the words of Frank Sinatra, "You Will be my Music."

I love you.
