Nestled in the pines of Central Wisconsin, we have our Bittersweet Cottage. It is here that we make very rustic and vintage looking treasures. On this page, you will find all of the information about us and the site.

Who is behind Willow Creek Primitives?

Hi, I'm Nan. Not only am I an avid nature lover, but I enjoy spending as much time as possible making primitive crafts from scratch, trying to bring back memories from years ago. I began making wreaths approximately eight years ago to sell locally. I then expanded to sell to a few shops around the state.

Several years ago my husband and I began selling our items at the local Farmer's Market. People were very pleased with the primitive crafts we offered. Around the same time that we began attending the Farmer's Market, I began listing my items on the auction site, eBay. I have had a wonderful experience in the years I've been selling online, and thought that I needed a place on the web to call my own and offer my primitive creations.

Beginning with my wreaths and signs, I have recently expanded and now create primitive dolls, fixens, furniture, and hand-painted folk art. Hopefully you will find something on this website that you feel would be a positive addition to your primitive collection!

Information On Orders

Currently, we accept PayPal (a secure, online company that accepts all major credit cards), Checks, or Money Orders. If sending a check, you may need to wait up to one week for it to clear before we ship out your order. By paying via PayPal (our preferred method), your payment will be received instantly and thus we can get your item(s) out much faster. All of our wreaths are made upon order, thus after we receive payment it may take up to seven days to complete the order depending on current work load and the size of the order.

Because of the varying weight of our products, we cannot offer an instant payment option through this website. Instead, simply add as many items to the electronic cart as you plan on ordering, then proceed to the check-out screen. After entering your shipping details and information, the order will be sent to us where we will then look at the order and determine the appropriate shipping cost. After the total shipping has been calculated (within 24 hours), we will e-mail you a complete invoice which will include the total cost including shipping, an electronic payment link, and the address to send checks or money orders.

Shipping Methods and Information

All of our packages are shipped via USPS Priority or Parcel mail unless otherwise stated. We personally recommend that you pay for the Priority Mail option as then the package will then get to you within three days. This is especially good timing when there are sensitive items boxed up such as wreaths or swags. Parcel mail on the other hand usually takes between five and ten days to be delivered.

If you order wreaths or swags and it is later than Wednesday, we may post-pone the shipment until the following week to ensure the items are kept in boxes for a minimal amount of time. After the package is shipped, we will e-mail you with the appropriate tracking or confirmation number. Unfortunately, due to the size and weight of the packages, we only accept orders from within the United States.
