I wanted to make a figure with her face in the flowers, taking them in with her senses, smelling them, feeling the petals against her face; feeling safe in that surround. So this piece could say to someone that they are loved by those around them, if a person is experiencing difficulty, it could be a reminder of family and friends who support and are there for them. Or it could be a way to say to one special person that all your love is surrounding them (more of a romantic interpretation), or just a little gift for someone who loves to garden. I like that people read this piece differently. The choice of red poppies was influenced by trips to France, seeing fields of poppies. The red poppy symbolizes remembrance, so this piece could be a tribute to those who served our country.  -Susan Lordi

The gesture of something special is one of protection and caring for something precious; our children, our earth, our natural resources. I see it as a hopeful piece about possibilities, about every child, doing his or her share. The rock is etched with words and images. The puzzle pieces allude to how we are all inextricably linked together, they’re also symbols of children with autism. 'Special' can mean many things, the special responsibility to care for our planet, and to nurture ALL our children to care for their future. 'Something' can be interpreted on many levels. The little sprout is an unknown. What’s it going to become? And the boy is a sprout too, what’s he going to become? He could represent hope for the future. This piece could be a symbol of newness and beginnings. Also, for many years we’ve wanted to experiment with environmentally friendly packaging that wouldn’t increase breakage. We’re excited to try it with the packaging of something special. The inner shell is made from biodegradable paper pulp, so now both shell and box can be easily recycled.  -Susan Lordi

A gift to express appreciation and thankfulness for teachers, volunteers, donors, caregivers, friends, or for those who love plants and flowers!

Willow Tree Angel of Healing

A gift to comfort and encourage hope and healing. Willow Tree angels resonate with many cultures and ages of people. To some they represent protection, to some they are an outward reminder of inner peace, and to some they represent a way to remember those who have left this earth. A gift of Willow Tree® communicates beyond words.

Willow Tree® You And Me

Every day, building on our love

“This sculpture represents a couple who’s navigating life together – the joys, the challenges, and the daily decisions that come with being a family. I hope it speaks to an appreciation for the little things that make life interesting... and how love can renew itself over and over again. It’s the trust and support of each other through the day in, day out that strengthens love – and keeps us in it for the long haul. This piece works well with the children in The Roses in my Garden collection. I hope this helps you create a family grouping that reflects the personality of your own.” —Susan Lordi

Willow Tree® With Affection

I love our Friendship!

"Somehow our pets sense—they just know—how we feel. And totally accept us, in whatever emotional or physical state we appear. They teach us about friendship and patience and inner peace. They support us with loyalty, softness, an independent spirit and expressive gaze. It is true that animals have a sixth sense. It is the sense of love, unconditionally." —Susan Lordi
