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

On 'Black Friday' this Jack Frost Snowman is Pure Christmas Sweetness

Now that the Thanksgiving gratitude and feasting has slipped into yummy leftovers (here at Cozy Creek we even share some leftovers with the local wildlife...deer, foxes, Mr. Groundhog under the supply shed, the raccoons begging for a bit of meat off the turkey bones...), it's time to get back to the tasks at hand for the Christmas season.  Making his debut today is "Christmas Season Jack Frost."


 This Christmas Jack Frost Snowman's head and arms are made of muslin which have been stained and aged, his sweet face was hand painted. He has black bead eyes, rosy cheeks and a cinnamon coated dried carrot nose.
His long stocking cap and scarf are red flannel with white snowflakes. The cap is trimmed in fur around his face and is decorated with vintage style Christmas greenery and red berries and has a large rusty jingle bell on the end. His scarf also has a rusty jingle bell, greenery and red berries.
His body is a GENUINE ‘Jack Frost Sugar’ sack (an sugar factory shipping cloth sack; not a print or reproduction).
Snowman holds a beautiful handmade quilted Christmas Ball ornament with an old fashioned Santa in the center!
