Can’t live in the neighborhood but want to look like you do? Then you need to join the club that meets in the Treehouse. Club leader Siri Wilson opened the doors back in 2006 and has been growing a strong following since. A designer and neighborhood resident herself, Siri kept finding herself in circles with other local designers. The camaraderie she felt from these interactions inspired her to open a shop that would celebrate the local designers. And Treehouse does exactly that. This is the best one-of-a-kind shop seen yet. Creative spirits abound in the space and Siri’s magic touch on the space let’s all the pieces shine. Treehouse is an ever-evolving place, demonstrating the inventive personalities of the designers. And Siri keeps things fresh by frequently hosting cocktail parties and fashion shows to bring designers together to share ideas.
Stepping into the store, you might feel a bit dizzy and giddy from all the eye candy. So here’s a little guide to get you through. Start by hunting down Siri’s own line of clothing and hand-crocheted jewelry under the name Sirius, including this gorgeous, limited edition black cameo agate stone drop. Then go to the handmade baby onesies by Alacrity designs. Then check out the avant-garde designs by Feral Childe, including the hand-cast resin belt buckles and the hand silkscreened wool dresses and tops.

You’ll find numerous other hand-crafted accessories including jewelry, handbags, and shoes. One of my favorites is the hand-embroidered tote bag by Chez Sucre Chez.

Finally, if you’re feeling inspired to add something of your own to the shop, join Siri in knitting, crochet, embroidery, or jewelry making classes. Whether you shop or create, be prepared…you just might want to become a lifelong member of the club.
