Figurines

I really like the simplicity and truth of this sentiment, Above all, kindness. Kindness is a virtue that gives us so much reward, and one we aspire to. The animal that the child holds can be metaphorical (who better to teach us about kindness than animals?) or the figure can simply represent a loving relationship with a pet.  -Susan Lordi

Each Willow Tree® piece is cast from artist Susan Lordi’s original carving and then painted by hand.

This figure could be an encouraging and supportive reminder to someone beginning a process, a 'journey', perhaps moving toward greater well-being and independence; a new career or location; overcoming illness or personal loss.  It's a reminder to pause and reflect on the moments, both difficult and joyful, along the path toward achieving goals.

A gift to celebrate special accomplishments. To encourage, support and acknowledge individual strength.

Willow Tree® Home

Together, our family is home

“I wanted to capture the time in your life when there’s a lot of excitement, happiness, yet a big unknown. This piece connects the concepts of Home and Family — you are creating your own family—your own home. There’s been a shift in your life cycle. It’s about establishing roots in a way that centers and grounds you as a couple. It can be scary, but also has you in awe. Together, you’re creating a sense of place—building something—permanence and belonging. To each other and to the someone else that you haven’t met yet, but that you already love. I wanted the title to have a hidden layer of discovery ... I like the twist of taking a noun and using it as an adjective to explain a feeling one might have, but can’t always verbally express.” —Susan Lordi

I hope this piece is very open to viewer interpretation. For me, it is the pure joy that comes from creating, in all its forms. A side note, I love bluebirds. -Susan Lordi

 A gift of friendship, or for graduates or to celebrate special accomplishments, to encourage, support and acknowledge individual strength.
