NOTE: This give-away is now closed. Congrats to the 2 winners!
I can remember the excitement of back-to-school shopping. Even as a child, fall was my favorite season… the sites, the smells, and yes, even the start up of another school year. Fall clothes were my favorite. I loved corduroy and tights, sweaters and autumn prints. The world was experiencing an explosion of earthy colors, and I loved my clothes to reflect the change.
Today, I still love preparing for fall. And it always means changing COLORS. Recently, Michelle and I have been talking about giving Wee Folk Art a bit of a face lift. We wanted to maintain the “feel” of WFA, but wanted to bring in a little more color. Michelle got right on it. I love our phone calls when she’s designing… “Hey, Mom, check this out”. I’m always so impressed with her work and her attention to detail.
So, after a couple of weeks of planning and designing, here’s Wee Folk Art’s new “rainbow” look. Hope you like it… I LOVE it! And it couldn’t come at a better time… the start of Fall and the changing of colors. Over the next couple of weeks we will be doing some reorganization, and we will keep you updated on our changes and offer some highlights. In the meantime, we wanted to celebrate our new look, with a little giveaway.
Pixie’s birthday is September 17, and this year, I’m making her gifts with the same “rainbow” theme as Wee Folk Art. (More about THAT later.) Anyway… one of the things I’m making her is a set of 6 lavender scented, rainbow beanbags. (Yet to be made… waiting on the lavender.) We decided to make an extra set to giveaway. So, if you’d like a chance to win a set, simply leave a comment below. Share the giveaway with your friends through tweets, Facebook, or your blog, and get another chance to win for each posting. (Make a separate comment for each and leave a link.) The contest will run until Wednesday, September 1, at 9:00 pm, when a winner will be drawn at random. Good luck to all… and THANK YOU MICHELLE! I love the new look!

Wow – I love the new rainbow look. It’s perfect for Wee Folk. My little boy took a gander at it as well and said it was very pretty.
We are in the process of redecorating the play room in those same colors!
I love your new set up here!
Those bean bags would be so sweet.
Change is in the air! I noticed the cicadas around here have all about run out of their raspy wing chats. 🙁 The seasons are changing whether we like it or not I guess. I so like your new header. It’s perfect!
Happy Sunday friends!

Fall is in the air here too and I.LOVE.IT!!! It’s re-energized me and I’m all into the fall colors.
The rainbow look suits you perfectly! And it feels so nice and cozy, what’s not to love? I would also love a chance to win those beanbags. Rainbow is always fashionable in my house.
The new look is super cute! I would love to win:)
I just love your whimsy of gnomes! Puts a smile on my face…
I, too, love your new look! I always enjoy reading your blog and seeing what new things you’re making. I’d love to win your giveaway, but I don’t Tweet or have my own blog, so guess this is my one chance. Thanks!!

I DO love your new website. Well done Michelle! I love your site. It is always so pleasant and I’ve made tons of your designs. My kiddos would love the beanbags, if I let them play with them. I’ll probably hold on to one so I can sniff lavender! Okay, now for a weird question. What are your pieces of fabric laying on? Is it a table top or piece of wallpaper. I love the design!
Always an avid follower and admirer of your site ! The new look is simply fabulous! Please let luck be on our side with the draw, we NEED beanbags, and those fabrics look incredible!
I love the new look of your site! The rainbow is such an uplifting design. My little one would love to play beanbags. I would love to win them!

You have so many creative ideas and I am looking forward to making some of them for my little grandson as he gets older (he’s only 5 months right now)
Lavender is my favorite scent and I would love to be included in the drawing for the beanbags!
Thanks and keep up the excellent work!

Ooo I love the new look as well, definitely count me in for the giveaway 🙂 my daughter would love a set of rainbow beanbags!
I love the look! Additionally, Fall is my favorite season and I only wish it lasted a little longer. I love the sound of leaves crunching under my shoes, having to wear a sweater or sweatshirt, the beautiful colors our state has to offer, the smell of mulled cider, hot chocolate, spiced apples. Cannot wait for that first leaf to “FALL”.
Great idea. I love lavender.
count me in, please.
Thanks so much for the chance to win 🙂 I love the new look!
Ooh, we can kick them and be calm, all at the same time!

Wow…….great new look for the Wee Folk! When your page opened up today I was so surprised. Had just been talking about the cord-warpped baskets we used to make 20 years ago and there it was! Thank you so much for bringing this back. And yup…..my Treasures (grandweefolk) would love beanbags
🙂

Oh, I have a soon to be 7 year old and she would adore these for her upcoming birthday!
I have fallen in love with Wee Folk Art site full stop. I have a small child care centre and we are really dealving into the inspirations of Steiner. I have been checking out your page every week (or often if I can). I love all your idea, your imagination and passion and now I have started ‘creating’ for all of our children. Well done and thankyou.

Thanks for sharing your talents with the rest of us. Lynn
OOH! Those are fabulous felts, I would love to creat something with them!
Thanks for the chance to get my hands on those awesome goodies!
seems very fall inspired to me
I found your site last year when I was trying to find something original for my daughter’s 2nd Birthday. I eventually, made flower fairies and gnomes based on the Wee Folk book. They were such a hit! This year I am making Wee Folk pirates and girls based on the Pinkalicious and Purplelicious books. Your site gave me the resources and the ideas for this years 3rd birthday.
The tips and hints on how to cut the patterns have been invaluable during this time.
Thank you Thank you.
I love your site. I am preschool teacher and was totally inspired by your handmade toys! These bean bags are awesome!
yes please…I’d love to be entered in your lovely rainbow beanbag giveaway!! Your blog looks fantastic and I love the rainbow theme!
