Handmade, natural toys are something that I REALLY get excited about. I especially love Waldorf toys (which are classic, simple, and designed to be open-ended). If I had some sort of windfall of cash, I would be powerless to resist all hand felted, crocheted and knitted toys.
Since I appreciate the finer things in the world of toys, I am smitten with Green Mountain Wee Woolies etsy shop. Fiber artist Valerie has been handcrafting since childhood. All of that practice has paid off in the form of beautiful, timeless wool toys and baby knits. These are perfect for anyone who recognizes that fine hand-crafted toys are works of art as well as treasured playthings.
One my favorites is this cute little a la carte collection of veggies. Those peas look rather tasty...
There are also fruits, if that is your preference.
I also spotted some knitted gnomes frolicking about in the garden...
There are so many wonderful things at Green Mountain Wee Woolies...I have been browsing for a while now and need to pull myself away!
But first I have a generous giveaway from Valerie of Green Mountain Wee Woolies fame:
TWO winners will each receive a knitted Wool Gnome in their choice of color! The gnomes are 7" tall, knit from wool yarn, and stuffed with carded wool. Natural fibers and VERY CUTE!
To enter, visit Green Mountain Wee Woolies and look around.
Comment here with the name of something you like from the store that was NOT mentioned in this post.
This giveaway will close on June 12, 9pm CST.
TWO winners will be chosen by random number generator.
Hooray for prizes!

I want a gnome, and a gnome home, and the farmers market and and... EVERYTHING...
You HAD to show me that site... now I wanna shop there!
Very cool toys, but they're not all knit; some of them are crocheted.
Very nice. I love the gnomes! The Wee Woolie Balls are cool too!
I like the wee woolie balls, my son would hve so much fun with them!
I think I like the Traditonal Rug Hooking Sheep Pillow. It looks so soft and wooly to lay my head on. I also like the Childs Knitting Kit, as I'd really like to learn how to knit despite being an adult.
My crazy kitty would go bananas over those catnip fishies!!!!
And her diaper covers are absolutely adorable!

The Wee woolie lovies are adorable. I love it/them.
WOW! It's so hard to pick my favorite because they are all seriously adorable!!!! I love the gnomes and the felted fruit bowl would be an adorable addition to a table instead of a traditional fruit bowl to add more whimsy.
I really love the horses. They are adorable. I actually have them bookmarked for my niece whose birthday is coming up. I really think she would love something cute like that. She loves horses.

I love the Bunting Baby Twins w/Pouch and the Farmers Market Wool Fruit.
I like the gnome home, and the snake and egg kit. Fun stuff!
I love the wee woolie lovies. Those are fantastic! And the felted horse kit.
What great toys!
The Farmers Market Vegetables are great! What fun stuff!! The crowns are great too!
Somehow, even with the Knit your own Gnome kit, I don't think I'd be able to knit one. So perhaps I should win one.
But I am thinking of buying the farmer's market with the watermelon. Nothing is cuter than watermelon!
I love teh gnome home and the Knotty Doll Teethers.
Ok, this is my new favorite site. And everything's affordable--not always the case w/ the cool Waldorfy stuff. I love the Felted Crowns, the Waldorf inspired wool play set, the Rainbow Bunting Baby set, the Farmer's market sets, the fruit bowl, the kits, and, ummm, pretty much everything else!
i think the car and road set is really creative. thanks!
Had to giggle at the felted snake and egg kit. Snakes with googly eyes, they don't get any cuter than that!
I love the Gnome Home! Love it.
I love the Wee Woolie Balls. My daughter has a ball obsession. She would love them. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

There are some really different items in there that look really nice. I like the knotty teething babies and the mama doll with the little baby.
I like the Waldorf inspired wool play set in purple.
Who would ever think to knit a gnome? That is really original. I like the sheep pillows, too.
I love the Waldorf inspired wool play set---so fun and different.
