Clarion House Collectibles and Little Coon Creek Patterns and Crafts are family-owned and home-based mail order businesses. We're located in beautiful Southwest Pennsylvania north of the Pittsburgh area.

We've enjoyed great success with our handmade items at art and craft fairs since the early 80's and in 1992 Little Coon Creek Patterns & Crafts was established. Our Little Coon Creek patterns are great to whip up for craft shows -- lots of dolls, raggedies, snowmen and ornaments. Snowmen are our favorites. :-) The patterns have easy to follow directions and illustrations where needed.

In 2002, we branched off into a second doll and pattern company called Clarion House Collectibles. Clarion House carries crafting supplies and its own unique style of primitive dolls and doll patterns. We like to call them our dollmaker dolls. Although not necessarily difficult, our Clarion House patterns require a bit more sewing experience to complete.

When a family member's company began selling webhosting services he asked if we would consider setting up a test site with them. Well, that led to a third website called Northern Prims. It's a lot of fun to make our own patterns, but we also very much enjoy making items from the patterns of other designers. That's what we do at Northern Prims!

Our items are created in a smoke-free studio workshop attached to our smoke-free home. We have a long hair dachshund and a cat running around though so if you have severe pet allergies, please keep that in mind. Neither one sleeps in the fabric, of course, but in a busy home as ours is, allergens can indeed transfer.

Any questions, please don't hestitate to ask. I can be reached most weekday mornings at 412-487-7411 or by email at linet@littlecooncreek.com.
