Vintage Inspired Jewelry

Shelley Cooper is a jewelry artist and designer with a love of antique jewelry. Her designs are derived from a life-long study of antique and vintage jewelry and radiate the authenticity and spirit of many eras of fashion history. The pieces are just unbelievable. They're feminine and romantic and available at Willow Tree. They make perfect gifts. They are ideal for brides. They add so much to any outfit.

Hand Loomed

Susan Carli has specific ideas on incorporating different fibers and textures into her weaving. She works with shiny ribbons and metallic yarns in many colors and textures. She uses unique combinations of various fibers, both domestic and imported, including silk, cotton, rayon, metallics and various novelty yarns, creating her own unique line of handwovens. Each and every scarf, shawl, or tassle scarf is done by 100% by Susan by hand. She chooses the yarns - usually consisting of 20-30 different types of yarn, threads the loom, weaves the fabric, cuts and sews the garment, hand finishes each piece, and even packs and ships the final product herself. This means that her work is not mass produced, not seen at all major craft shows nor found in every store. It also guarantees that each of her weavings is a unique piece of wearable art. People have tried to copy her design -- but there is only ONE Susan Carli...and we've got it at Willow Tree!

Yes Mam'

They're statement pieces, to be sure. You can completely dress up your look by putting on a pair of Mam' earrings and adding some red liptstick! The holiday styles are wonderful - and we've got them at Willow Tree.

Radiant Orchid - Pantone's 2014 Color of the Year

Pantone just declared 2014's new "It" color. Radiant Orchid is what it's called - and it's a pinky-purple shade. As always, once the pick is announced, it generally influences the color palette of everything from paint and interior design to fashion and beauty.

We've even noticed that 2014's color was already making appearances in 2013. We saw hints on the runways in September. Watch for Radiant Orchid and let us know what you think!

What Should You Wear to Your Holiday Party

For holiday parties, consider something shiny, or glitzy or sparkly or beaded or velvet. Start with black. Add a sparkly shoe, a red bag. Accessorize with some dazzling and festive earrings or bangles. Have fun, relax, don't take yourself too seriously, and celebrate. A word of caution, though; keep your outfit appropriate, making sure to avoid major cleavage or see-through tops. Add red lipstick and nails...and you're perfect for your holiday gathering.

Unique Hostess Gift Ideas

Bored with bringing a bottle of wine or box of chocolates as a hostess gift? Well, think about something a little more unique. Willow Tree has some nifty ideas for you to consider.

Who wouldn't love a great little note pad and charm pen (both from Brighton)? They're great items to keep in her handbag, vehicle, at her bedside or on her desk.

Burn-Out Velvet Is Still Hot!

From vintage styles to more contemporary looks, velvet burnout in a mosaic of colors never goes out of style. It's the perfect uniform for your holiday gathering or any social setting!
