Gypsy Forest {giveaway}

This weekend’s giveaway is from Stephinie of Gypsy Forest Handmade.  You may know Stephinie from her blog where she shares bits and pieces of life with her family of six.  In her Gypsy Forest shop she offers beautifully crafted organic quilts, hand-dyed play silks (my family’s favorites!) & other artful bits.

“Hello again! I’m so happy to be hosting a giveaway here in Ginny’s space. A lot has changed since the last time we visited here. This spring our family made a huge move from the deep south of Louisiana to our much loved New England. We are really loving our new home in Massachusetts, especially this time of year as the woods outside our house turn bright shades of yellow and orange. After six months we’re mostly unpacked, we’ve added some new critters to the family, and we’re ready to renovate our 1970’s yellow bathroom!”


“As for shop news, I am still sewing up my heirloom crafted quilts and reversible aprons. I’ve extended the line of playsilk colors available and now offer ten basic colors, multi-colored silk canopies, and the very popular limited edition multi-color playsilks too.”


“The shop has some fun new items in it as well! I began sewing up silk flag banners this summer. I currently have three different colors in the shop and will be adding two new styles later this month. I’ve also been working on some delicious luxury weight silk & organic fair-trade flannel blankets, also due into the shop later this month. If you’d like to know about current shop news or just want to join the fun conversation, do join us on facebook or swing by the blog.”

Stephinie is giving to one Small Things Reader a set of ten play-silks in all the basic colors valued at $78.  She would also like to offer 15% off orders of $40 or more through October 15th.  (It’s not too early to be thinking about Christmas and holiday gifts!)  Use the code SMALLTHINGS15 at checkout to receive the discount.

  9. Silks are for endless imaginings. How do I express desire without coveting? Thank you for the giveaway opportunity, Ginny.

  11. What a lovely collection of colors to spark my twin’s imaginations! The possibilities are endless!

  12. Silkies!!!! These were my favorite thing in the dress up bin growing up! I imagine my fashionable little toddler would be quite fond of them as well!

  14. Oh how I love the magic and versatility of play silks! Thank you for the giveaway and shop discount!

  15. Wow, I have a few that my son and I dyed with Kool-aid, but they don’t even come close to being as beautifully vibrant as these. What a special give-away! Thanks Ginny and Stephinie!

  23. Brilliant colors! My little girls would love these silks! Thank you so much! Fingers crossed!!

  33. I’ve been wanting playsilks for my boys for forever but I haven’t brought myself to splurge on them yet! These are just beautiful 🙂

  36. I just got a play silk for my daughters for the first time (twin 5 year olds and a 3 year old). The number of things it has become in the last week is astounding. How fun, and beautiful!

  37. Never mind, went to her website, such beautiful items! Love the idea of the play silks!! Anything to encourage imagination!

  38. These colors are so beautiful. Is there a specific purpose to the play silks, ie. like a parachute, or are they just tools for the children to let their imaginations run wild? I’ve never heard of them before.

    Either way, beautiful!

  40. Such lovely colors! I made a set of playsilks for my girls years ago, but they are showing lots of wear, and plus, there are never enough!
