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

Handmade Primitive Country "Love To Keep Me Warm" Valentine Snowman Box With Tree

Valentines Day is just a little over a month away! It's been so cold here in Central NJ lately with all the frigid below zero temps we've been having these last few weeks, that I even want my snowmen to be warm LOL

"Love To Keep Me Warm" One Of A Kind (OOAK) Valentine Snowman Box With Tree
Available in my ETSY SHOP!



Snowman was created using heavy muslin. He has been stained, painted and 'aged'. He has little black bead eyes. a tiny dried carrot nose and rosy cheeks. He wears a little red patchwork print scarf pinned with an itty bitty rusty bell.



Snowman sits in a wood box that I painted black and distressed a bit to look a little worn. Inside sits an artificial tree decorated in a homespun, cozy Valentines theme. The tree has been accented with some snowy branches and strung with warm white electric mini lights and bright red raffia garland. Throughout the tree are little striped and checkered hand cut fabric hearts in shades of forest green, dark blue, tan and red. In the middle of each heart is a tiny rusty bell. Poked in throughout the tree are burgundy pip berries and a rusty prim star adorns the top. 



Snowman sits in a nest of pine boughs and berries in the middle of handmade heart pillows matching the little fabric ones on the tree. Stripes and checks in forest green, dark blue, tan and red. Each heart pillow has a rusty bell in the center. 



Snowman sits in the middle... surrounded by love.. to keep him warm.

Box is approx 11.5" X 4" and tree stands approx 14" tall
