Oh no! The Willow Tree is currently on HIATUS! =O
Please do not place any orders or send any trades. They will be have to be ignored and canceled. >.< (Don't make me do that, please!)
For more info, please read the announcement below:

March 29th, 2011: Putting the shop on hiatus! I've been without a computer for a while, but now that I have it back I have some catching up to do, and I have some school projects and personal projects I would like to work on and complete. I am by no means leaving Gaia, and I hope to get The Willow Tree back on its feet in the future! =D

_____________________________________

~And Now, A Story... ~

While walking along the forest road one day, you take a wrong turn and end up deep in the heart of the forest. A beautiful forest it is, with tall, old trees reaching up towards the sky and golden sunlight cascading down through the emerald foliage, leaving you feeling cheerful, despite the fact that you are a bit lost.

While coming around a turn in the road, you spot small, sunny-looking lake with a large tree next to it. The tree's branches hang low and sway gently back and forth in the breeze. Unexpectedly, you notice a green door at the base of the tree. The door is open, and wonderful smells are wafting out, reminding you that you haven't had your lunch yet...

You approach the door and step inside, hoping to get directions out of the forest, when you realize that the tree is actually a small shop, filled with baked goods and various curiosities, which seem to glow in the warm sunlight pouring in through the window. Suddenly, a cheerful-looking young woman trots out of the back room, covered in patches of flour. She smiles warmly, brushing her hair from her face, and greets you:

~Welcome to The Willow Tree!~

Here you will find a variety of premade baked goods and gifts, along with customizable cakes that you can build!

Have a look around the shop. I hope you enjoy what you find! c:


You decide to ask the woman for directions out of the forest... Right after you have some cake.

3. Immediately after posting, send a trade to Shopkeeper Willow for the correct total. Be Sure To Include Your Order's Page Number In The Trade Title!
4. I will PM your items to you as soon as possible and accept the trade twice. Make sure you're PMs are set to receive all!

*UPDATED*NOTE: I am busier than I used to be, so please be patient when ordering! It could potentially take more than a week to receive your items. If I send back my half of the trade and you have not received your items, BE SURE TO LET ME KNOW! I never accept the trade without first sending the items, so this situation would indicate a mix-up.

*ANOTHER NOTE: When ordering, please use the item names listed below the items in the thread! This is just to make sure I don't do something like mix up a Strawberry Cream Cake with a Strawberry Hill Cupcake. c:
