In 2017 the Willow Cottage NZ website and online store started to grow from a few shelves of products, to a full little shop, providing affordable, quality art and craft items plus beautiful gifts to the families and individuals of New Zealand.

​

All the items were chosen with the home educating family in mind, drawing on the wealth of many years' home educating/raising a family  experience.

​

The original owners Steve and Debbie Ball worked hard for the first four years to establish a sound, trustworthy business, but due to family circumstances in April of 2022 they handed over the business to new owner Deborah Whalon-Frans.

​

April 2022 Deborah re-opened Willow Cottage NZ online store, with the intention to continue to give the customers the same quality of service and products as Debbie and Steve had always done. November 2023 Deborah relocated the store to Westport, West Coast, New Zealand.
