Vintage Indie Hot Spots: Willow Giveaway
Hello, Malia here. It sure is fun hanging out with you this week. So we've been to Utah and stopped in Seattle, Washington. Now let's visit another part of the state.
In the picturesque town of Chelan, there's a wonderful store filled with unique handcrafted items. The shop is named "Willow" and for owner Robyn Skaar, retail is part of her family heritage.
Robyn Skaar, Willow
Robyn is a third generation entrepreneur-- both her Mother and Grandmother owned retail apparel stores. To her, "going to market" and helping out with the endless list of tasks that accompany running a shop was a happy part of her childhood.
According to Robyn, "My dream was to bring women together in a creative, collaborative spirit and watch the outcome. I have a passion for handcrafted and time worn products, especially those that have been taken from vintage pieces and remade into new artworks. Of course the best part is watching our customers get excited about those products, buy them and come back and tell us how much they enjoy living with they enjoy living with them."
Thanks Robyn. Now let's take a look around...
Gorgeous stuff, right? In anticipation of expanding Willow's online presence, Robyn is generously offering Vintage Indie readers a chance to win a twenty five dollar gift certificate to the store. Just leave a comment here, letting us know what your favorite item was on this virtual shopping trip. Good Luck! Entries close at on Sunday July 18th at midnight EST.

I'd have to go with the necklaces as well. They are gorgeous. We were in Willow over New Year's and I purchased some unique 12 days of Christmas wall hangings. I love them and look forward to displaying them in December. Thanks for the chance to win and good luck with the online store!
