Giveaway and Review of Willodel

Comments on this giveaway are now closed.

Hello again, friends! I've had a very busy couple of months and don't foresee that letting up anytime soon. Business is booming, homeschooling is marching on and we all are very well. But I wanted to come in for a bit to host this wonderful giveaway for my sweet friend Lucinda. If you don't remember her from her past giveaways here, Lucinda is the very talented artist behind the Etsy shop Willodel.
We are very happy to own some of her work. A set of furniture....

These pieces are amazing! Many of them are one solid piece and they are very sturdy. My husband has stepped on a couple of the chairs and they broke cleanly, no splintering and, after a little craft glue they are as good as new!

Lucinda offers the furniture is a coupe of different sizes to fit your doll house. We chose the larger size and they work perfect for our Plan dolls and other various bendy dolls.

The bendy doll above is made by Lucinda, not the purple baby (tooth fairy present!) or cradle.

Lucinda is a true artist and strives to be gentle to the earth in her work. From her Etsy shop; "Willodel is a shop filled with lovingly hand made items meant to delight the heart, inspire the imagination and foster creativity for all who are wanting. Willodel embraces everything natural, as Nature gives the artisan both material and inspiration, it becomes inherent in the work to protect, sustain and revere the environment that is the source of it all.
I have been making delightful, functional & eco friendly homes for birds, toads, fairies and gnomes, out of found wood and recycled materials, for many years.......time tested and loved by all."

The superbly crafted and simply beautiful toys and animal homes Lucinda makes are just magical and the kind of thing that is treasured and passed down through generations.

These are homes one can dream in! Looking at her little gnome houses just sets my imagination into work. Couldn't you imagine little gnome sand fairies really making their homes in there?
