a playhouse which looks beautiful in your garden!



We came across this willow playhouse designed by UK designer, Judith Needham through the latest issue of Small Magazine (Spring '09). "Faced with buying her daughter a plastic play house, Needham put her weaving skills to work, designing and making a magical dream house out of willow".

The cardboard playhouse, that my mom mail-ordered for my 7th birthday, had to be one of the best gifts I have ever received. This is such an amazing looking piece and far more interesting than my well-loved cardboard version!

It's absolutely stunning. My daughter got a playhouse and 4 little people made out of wood recently and she is in love with it. Thanks so much for sharing.
