I think decoylab's animal alphabet poster in pink and blue is just adorable. I also love ellynelly's wall decals, got some of those on my walls already!
I love Elisabeth Soule's pictures... and Elly Nelly's wall graphics as well, especially the fly away in the greys or blues. This give away is such a lovely idea!
I rather like the storytime bookcase | double. Or maybe it's just because I could always use more storage for all of my books.
I had a hard time not listing Soule's work as favourites, but looking outside her prints, I do very much love the Tetra 1 Dresser by notNeutral.
The wave desk is pretty nice.
I would have to say that Elizabeth's are probably my favourite thing on the site- i've loved her work for a long time since I found her on Flickr. However I think my nephew would love this giraffe pillow as he is obsessed with all things giraffey.
I do love the "estela lugo | rock star chalkals", it rocks for a little boy dreaming on music and stages in his room at the countryside, guitars give him starlights in his eyes
I don't want to create a bandwagon but I'd go for Elizabeth Soule's work, however, Nicola Druker's "i live for cars and girls T-shirt is hysterical for any little boy (or girl for that matter!).
I totally love the baby clothes by Little Lark over at the forest finds. So original and just gorgious!
i think sian keegan's fabric vegetables are lovely. also one of those bauhaus optic farbmischers would be nice to have.
I love "fabric radish", it is so beautiful. :)
i looooove the patchwork strawberries,they are adorable
i just love fawn+forest in general because its great to have such a great resource of children's things here in portland... but i like the dress me up organic teething bonbon and the fabric scallions. and i like those prints, too! pick me please! katidimoff at gmail...
i love everything, but the wall decals are very cool and a great way to impermanently add some interest to a wall.
I really adore e. soule's prints--so lovely and sweet!
What a pretty name for a shop and it inspired me to head for their forest finds to check out. Lots of great stuff, but a favorite would be Paige Russell's RV vessel.
I love the tetrad mega bookshelves. I saw them featured on one blog or another a while back and have been coveting it ever since.
The animal attraction | owls pillow is too cute!
I am loving e.soule's zebra on alphabet. I love a zebra anywhere. cool site.
I love this bookcase to bits:
http://www.fawnandforest.com/products/161-storytime-bookcase-double
The intown coffee table is just what I am looking for!
My son's middle name is Calder so of course the mobiles are some of my faves. The Flock Mobile by Bookhou is so lovely and would be perfect in his nursery.
http://www.fawnandforest.com/categories/16-mobiles/products/493-flock-mobile
i adore the idea of this(pj pocket pillow),and the pleasing-ness of it to my eye!
http://www.fawnandforest.com/categories/11-organize/products/458-pj-pocket-pillow-elephants
Elly nelly's crossword wall graphic in polly would make my mine the very best cubicle.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the car by Egg Press "Bubble" Congratulations. Yummy!
I'm loving ALL of those mobiles!
I love Elizabeth Soule's prints of course, and sticking with the animal theme, I also love avalisa's wall art. Particularly the rabbits and the polar bears.
recycled magazine mobile | 38"
by frazier + wing
i love this! So clever and unique!
i'm in love with this cabinet. if i only had 3000$ laying around.
http://www.fawnandforest.com/categories/7-shelving-storage/products/363-big-twin-cub
Definitely the Fawn&Forest mobiles - they are beautiful and stylish, kids and grownups alike will enjoy them. In particular the Bookhou maple veneer mobile and the Adrift mobiles - really beautiful classic designs!
the tune in chalkals was so cute. My kids want a tv in the play room,won't get it, this is perfect
Wait, only one thing??? I drooled over so many things. I must say my favorite item is the fabric radish. It is just so simple and lovely.
The samara mobile is pretty amazing.
I have to say my favorite piece from fawn&forest is their Naef Cella. What a great way to show kids possibilities in spacial relationships! Way to encourage cognitive abilities! YEAH!
I love the wall decals! Especially the "elly nelly | branching out wall graphic" These are great to dress a wall up!
Wow, so much to see! I'm loving the decoylab cuckoo clock ... and the three sheets 2 the wind dandelion print.
its a great site and shop - everything is awesome. how about that rooster pillow, though? very cute.
Great finds! LOVE the patchwork strawberries. adorable and just the summer treat for a very cold Vancouver.
Thanks for the contest - those Zoo prints are fantastic, too!
my goodness...everything is so beautiful! I love the black and white mobile. Mobiles are always so much fun in a child's room! Fabulous photos to give away too!
Those little dwarf wall decals are the cutest!!But then again, there's nothing at fawn&forest that isn't cute :)
My favorite Elizabeth Soule print is the Polar Bear.....my sons would love this in their room. For myself, I'd like the "Seasons" area rug.
Wow -- it's hard to pick one thing! I really love the naef|rainbow, even though I don't have kids! I can see playing with that all day on my desk. :)
I LOVE Sian Keegan's fabric scallions! Its a brilliant word to say scallions!
oh wow, e.soule's rabbit print is the cutest thing I've seen in a long time.
i LOVE the lucy sectional—a couch for kids! soooo cute :-)
The 'Sway stool' by DMFD is pretty sweet.
hmmmm, so many good items to choose from! but i have to say that sian keegan's fabric scallions are so adorable and clever! love!
I love the animals attract owls pillow! So much fun!
i really like the organic woods crib set!
I really love the crow by binth organic cuddle pillow. he looks like he's up to something. :)
I like the Elephant pillow by estela lugo! They're super cute. I think elephants is the next big thing!
love this: http://www.fawnandforest.com/products/446-kimono-jumpsuit
SO CUTE!
love the polar bear rocker!
I love the Manhattan Library and the bunny floor pillows!
I've been stalking Elizabeth Soule for some time now.
That bubble wool rug is to die for!
like many others, i think i like soule's work the best (specifically, the polar bear). it's so cute! however, i also love the "ollie the dotted owl" stuffed animal.
Well, I would love to have one of the Elizabeth Soule's. I love the Zebra on Alphabet.Yep, that's my favorite thing!
I love all of the e.soule images, but I would especially love to own the 'Rabbit,' as we have a little bunny of our own, so any time I have a option to get a rabbit print, I have to have it!
My favorite is the e.soul: Deer and Cupcake photograph, no contest. It's perfectly whimsical and I want to eat the cupcake!
My favorite FAVORITE might have to be Sian Keegan's work...scallions, strawberries, & radish. If I had to pick one it would probably be the group of three scallions, adorably tied up.
I love the organic woods blanket. The colors are really nice.
I LOVE the circus bedding from boodalee! The audience sheets are adorable.
It was a hard decision but I'll have to pick the organic bunny floor pillows! They are adorable!
KateB
I must have the birdhouse floral pillow (in robin's egg). Adore it.
As a dachshund owner I love the my-pet-lamp dachshund.. although really I love everything on the fawn& forest site!!
I love the decoylabs cuckoo clock in orange. So sweet. But all their stuff is way high on the cool scale.
I like e.soule | little deer the best.
My fave pick is....
crow | organic cuddle pillow
by binth
My favorite's the Peanut Mobile.
i like crawling critters mobile
by KLT works

Oh my very most favorite is the custom wish portrait. . . .I can't ever resist blowing dandylions and every single time I blow one I hear my dad saying - don't you know each little seed is going to be another dandylion. Didn't he know that was exactly what my six-year-old soul was hoping!
It would be the perfect father's day present for my lovely dad.
http://www.fawnandforest.com/categories/13-wall-art/products/481-the-wish-custom-portrait
It's so hard to pick a favorite! I think the whole "Little Zoo" set would win, though, if I had to choose. Particularly the polar bear.
oh i love those prints! my favorite thing on the website was a tie between the deer print (that is offered in this contest) and the pretty green and white mobile! too lovely! :)
I am a pretty big fan of the Tea Pod sculpture/furniture line... Awesome elements for play & imagination.
This is pretty funny but my favorite thing is the Elizabeth Soule prints! I've loved that project for a while now.
I also like the Binth pillows, just to throw in a little variety.
Oh, I have been eyeballing those beka blocks 68 pc set for quite a while now. Just a bit out of my price range, darn.
i love elizabeth's work!!!!
i would really like one of their organic mattresses. I got one of those "memory foam" ones, and it off-gassed for weeks. I even got a bloody nose and, probably, cancer.
I also helped destroy the earth, and I feel guilty.
I have adored Elizabeth's work since the first time I saw it, so that's probably my favorite! But I do also love the giraffe pillow. Too cute!
I love the Scando coffee table! (and the isometric chair)
I really liked Kata Golda's hand stitched stuffed animals, so adorable!
My favorite things are the Mod Rocker and the Bubble Wool Rug - Gorgeous!
i love everything, but i especially love all the wall decals. too bad it would be too overdone to use them all in one house.
I really like the thread drawing pillows: http://www.fawnandforest.com/categories/12-pillows/products/636-thread-drawing-pillow
I hvae been looking for something to accent my bed, and the nest might be just the thing
Oh, how lovely! My absolute favourite thing from F&F is the pajama case that folds up to look like a box. LOVE it!
I like the Peanut and the B&W Mobiles....
I love the transport area rug! Thank you for the giveaway!
I love love love the nurseryworks playdate table + stools. Anything that's both functional and stylish gets a big tick from me!
e.soule's deer and cupcake... it's all a matter or perspective. splendiforous.
the naef gloggomobil... educational, beautiful, incredibly creative. and that rainbow...all of naef's toys are striking and inspiring - i don't know if i could actually share them with my kids.
They have some really nice products and I love the nurseryworks | playdate table + stools. This is really unique. Thank you!
Hard to choose, but I like the Rooster organic pillow and the daring fox throw.
This is a hard contest considering how much I love e. soule's work AND EVERYTHING on Fawn & Forest. I think my ultimate choice may be the Window Desk + Drawers. I would feel like a million dollars if that was my desk.
Thank you for the contest!
I love the puzzle rug and Soule's polar bear. They are my favorite animal.
I really like the elly nelly wall graphics, especially Meow and Branching Out.

DUDE. They have a radish made out of fabric. What better way to learn your kid to love vegetables...so cute!

I'm completely in love with the purple penguin print!
It's got to be Glamour Girl Rug. All the way!

I love the tetrad flat by brave space design. So much fun! And I could make it fit any corner of my awkwardly shaped flat, change it every so often and never get bored!
I'm so smitten with the Decoylab "Cuckoo Clock" in lime. Very cute & full of charm!
My favourite things are actually Elizabeth's Little Zoo prints - though there are so many great things on the site!
Thanks for the contest!
My favorites are the Super Natural Baby quilts, specifically the Urban Quilt. Simple, elegant graphics. I want one for my bed!
I heart the dreamlike quality of e.soule photoart as well as elly nelly's decals!!!
while there are so many great things on fawn & forest (i'm a huge fan of naef toys, the modern dollhouse and boodalee bedding) i would have to say if i can only pick one item it would be the: offi - ooba | nest crib. the moment i first saw this crib i was awed at its beautiful design!

I'm a fan of the Geometrica creativity puzzle by Naef! Love anything inspirational!
I almost bought the Sleepytime rocker the first time I saw it (despite no funds + no baby!), so I guess it's safe to say that I like it a lot. Someday...

How great! My favourite thing at fawn&forest is sian keegan's fabric scallions!
I was gonna be *really* selfish here and say that my favorite was the Aralisa 60 rug. Or the Amenity Turtle Floor Pillow...or, okay, even that fantastic DecoyLab clock. BUT then I stumbled upon the Boodalee Trees Bedding. And my heart skipped a beat. I would love that for my son's room - think it's going on the Christmas list!
Oooh!! I just love the fabric scallions, I have seen them on a few sites lately and think I might just need to order them... thanks for the contest!
