Welcome to Treasure Buddy!
I’m Jennifer and I have always loved making things. Whether it be with yarn, fabric, flour, paper, or any other medium, I love the process of designing and creating. After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in Human Biology I worked for a few years as a preschool teacher before I had my son. As a stay at home mom, I have truly enjoyed making goodies for my little boy. One night, I realized that my little guy loved bringing his little treasures to bed. He would bring little erasers, coins, toy figures, whatever he could get his hands on! My husband would ask him to please put his treasures on his nightstand before going to sleep, but my son would always worry about whether his things would be safe until morning. Then, my idea for Treasure Buddy was born! I could create a cuddly little creature that could keeps my son’s treasures safe for him. I created his first Treasure Buddy out of felt with a hidden zipper pocket for him to put his little things in and he loved it so much he wouldn’t let it out of his sight. He said, “I love it. It’s so big and soft and ‘zippery’.” Seeing his joy over his little new friend inspired me to share my creation with others in my new Etsy shop.
My plushies feature durable cottons, authentic Pendleton® wool fabric and high quality findings. Each and every one is handmade by me, Jennifer, in my pet-free, smoke-free, child-friendly studio in beautiful Portland, OR. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy looking at my handcrafted buddies. I am so excited to share my special creations with you!
Remember to always treasure the little things in life.
