My name’s Denise Davis and I’m the primitive artist, pattern designer, and proprietor of Sassafras Hill Primitives. I live and work in northern Connecticut . My work stems from a passion for primitive antiques and whimsical artsy items and I am pleased to share my designs with you...
A great number of my items are inspired by my love for gardening and critters of all sorts! I also confess to a deep infatuation with make-dos and pincushions of all sorts. My favored materials are antique textiles, chippy old architectural castaways, and unique natural items found in my travels throughout New England .
My crafty aspirations were sparked at a tender age by my grandmother, who had a huge stash of treasures and allowed me to create to my heart’s content. There is not a day that passes that I don’t think of my work as a tribute to her!
