Happy Feelings Abound at hi Tree Designs

Last month at Unique LA hi Tree stood out in a forest of eye catching booths. Designer Tina Rodas creates whimsical leaf jewelry, owl totes, and plush tree shaped pillows. Her felt trees are adorned with happy hearts. With apples on tote bags, mushrooms on coin purses, and woodland creature names Mr. Chameleon, the world of hi Tree turned our day into a dreamy surreal landscape.

Tina Rodas grew up in Jacksonville, Florida and moved to LA in 2003. When she is not creating items for her hi Tree collection, you might also find her enjoying her favorite hobby, dancing with balls of fire and flaming hula hoops.

You can see Tina's new designs on her blog, find hi Tree items for sale on Etsy, and follow her on twitter for secret sales.
