My name is Marilyn 

 I've been making the tree houses for about 3 years now, and for me it is truly a work of love...

The fact is... I rarely "think inside the box!"  My imagination seems to know no bounds, and there is a constant stream of new ideas!  

I have two degrees; one in History and the other in Secondary Education.  I have 3 sons and one granddaughter.  My husband and I share just about everything; he is my best friend!  And we make quite a team!

Our home is also an expression of our creativity and it is like a step into another world... an old English one.  We are both miss-placed spirits of days gone by.

The workshop is an odd assortment of those things that are whimsical and help me think.. actually, it is just a fun place to play. 

The idea for the tree homes came to me about 20 years ago when I was shopping with my dear friend Carol.  We came across a shoppe that used an old tree stump for a display, (as a  shelf really), and they had it decorated with flowers and other "do-dads."  I took one look at it and the idea was born.  However, what may look easy, actually takes a long time to develop!  A LOT of trial and error has gone into my work. 

Each Treehouse takes 30+ hours to create... that is for a small one.  The larger homes have (for example; Leah's House or The Rose and Vine) about 100 hours.  The small homes are about 12-14 inches tall and quite light actually.  The tall more elaborate homes are 18 to 34 inches tall.

Each house has miniature furniture made by me, and all the bedclothes are hand sewn also.  And believe it or not... each bed has a mattress too!  

Of all the smaller homes a favorite of mine is the "Winter Fairy House!"  I finally found a way to do snow!   And now all my Christmas and winter homes are "winter wonderlands!"

The funny thing about the tree houses is that there are always new ideas flowing and just when I think I've finished... another comes along. 

Just today in fact, I closed my eyes and saw a "Red Hat House!"  WOW!

So... to all who read these words... THANK YOU... and come back again real soon!

P.S. Did I mention that I also write books?

Fantasy novels for young adults... pray for me to finally get published!
