WeeFolk Outfitters

Sneak Peek!

2009-04-17T07:21:00.000-07:00

Apologies for not posting anything recently, but the holidays were a wee bit crazy (to say the least).

In any case, Wee Folk Outfitters is still going strong, trying to keep up with gardening season orders and working on new door designs (and accessories, too).

This is the latest design (not yet finalized, but getting there). The tentative title is "Fairy Princess". I'm still working on the color scheme -- want something a little more "girlie" and "princess-like"... suggestions welcome!

Just in time for Christmas!

2008-09-17T04:08:00.001-07:00

It's taken months for me to finalize this design, but it's finally ready and now available to order at WeeFolkOutfitters.com!

The "Christmas Chalet" is a charming little getaway perfect for Sugar Plum Fairies and Very Tiny Christmas Elves that will look lovely under your Christmas tree or on a shelf or fireplace mantel.

The Christmas Crunch here at the workshop is already underway, so order yours today to make sure you have it in time for the holidays!

Another new door design!

2008-08-30T04:40:00.000-07:00

Introducing the latest door design from the Head Gnome... the "Pixie Portal".

This door is a little smaller than the others (4" x 5.5"), but every bit as nice. It features a red-washed door and brown-washed frame, all topped with red mahogany stain and trimmed out with handmade copper hardware.

Like all Wee Folk Outfitters fairy doors, this one comes with a pre-installed brass hanger and is signed and dated on the back by yours truly.

New Wee Folk Outfitters website launched!

2008-08-20T14:08:00.000-07:00

It's taken me a while to get to it -- too busy filling door and window orders -- but I've finally finished the redesign and all the programming to launch the new Wee Folk Outfitters website at www.weefolkoutfitters.com.

The new site has the full line of Wee Folk Outfitters wares available to browse and purchase, plus more information about the company and products. You'll also find links to all the Wee Folk online storefronts (MintD, DaWanda, etc.) and the retailers who now carry my doors and windows, plus a form to request wholesale terms and pricing.

There are still quite a few things I plan on adding to it, but all the really important stuff is there. Look for a gallery of customers' fairy door installations, a Wee FAQ and Field Guide, and links to Wee-related websites and blogs. I'm also working on a new customization feature that will allow you to choose frame and door colors, hardware preferences, and even specify door sizes.

Check it out and let me know what you think (or if you happen to discover any bugs or other weirdness).

New design! Perfect for sharp-toothed blood-sucking fairy types...

2008-08-05T06:07:00.000-07:00

Is Tinkerbell just a little too cute for your tastes? Do you prefer Wee Ones from the darker parts of your garden?

Wee Folk Outfitters has just what you're looking for to please the little biters: a coffin-shaped fairy door specifically designed to appeal to Wee with sharp teeth (and a tendency to use them).

Stop by any of our online stores or contact any of our authorized retailers to get yours today!

Wee now do windows!

2008-04-07T14:36:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time coming, but I've finally finalized the matching window designs for Wee Folk fairy doors!

The windows are made from a solid piece of knotty pine and the details are burned into the wood using pyrographic techniques. They are then painted and stained to match the most popular Wee Folk fairy door models. Pictured above (left to right) are the "Hobbit" window, the "Gothic Arch" window (matches the "Harp Top" door) and the "Good Fortune" window, which complements the "Pagoda" door.

Windows retail for $9.95 each, $16.95/pair and can be customized to match the colors of any Wee Folk Outfitters fairy door.

Yankee Lake Crafts in the Country show...

2008-03-10T05:31:00.000-07:00

Here's your chance to meet the gnome behind the fairy doors!

WeeFolk Outfitters will be set up at the Yankee Lake Crafts in the Country craft show on Saturday, March 15 from 10am to 5pm. There will be 127 crafters selling their wares and there is a $2.00 admission charge, but parking is free. The show will be held in the Yankee Lake Ballroom on Route 7 in Brookfield, Ohio.

I'm hoping to have a fair amount of inventory on hand for the show, but I'll also be taking orders for custom doors (and doors in general if my stock sells out).

Stop by and say hello!

New WeeFolk shop at MintD.com...

2008-02-07T07:20:00.000-08:00

I've found yet another great site to sell my magical fairy doors. The new WeeFolk store can be found at WeeFolkOutfitters.mintd.com.

I'm still uploading product info, but by the end of today I expect to have the full line of WeeFolk doors listed there.

New Wee Folk store open at BigCartel.com

2008-01-31T04:09:00.000-08:00

In my quest to expand the reach of Wee Folk wares, I've started an additional online store at BigCartel.com. Unlike community-oriented sites like DaWanda and Etsy, BigCartel is more of a hosting service -- each shop is basically its own website, so driving traffic to your store is totally up to you.

Check it out at http://weefolkoutfitters.bigcartel.com.

It's a Wee world after all...

2008-01-29T10:19:00.000-08:00

I spent some time last night mucking around Google's maps and thought it would be interesting to tag all the places I've shipped doors to. Needless to say, this took a while.

The map defaults to the North America view, but if you zoom out it will show you all the "international" door locations. Check it out...

New Design! Lucky Leprechaun Door

2008-01-28T15:41:00.000-08:00

I've been so busy filling orders that I haven't had time to do what I really enjoy -- coming up with new designs. So today I got up extra early, parked myself in front of the computer and put on my creative gnome hat.

Here's the result:

Let me know what you think!

WeeFolk tops "Most Popular" list 1/28/08

2008-01-28T10:41:00.000-08:00

I was more than a little surprised today when I checked out the "Trends" page at DaWanda and saw myself staring back at me from the #1 position of the "Most Popular Members" list. Dang... I've only been on the site for 3 days.

How cool is that?

Now if I can just get on the "Top Sellers" list, I'll be one very happy gnome.

WeeFolk wares now available at DaWanda.com

2008-01-25T17:21:00.000-08:00

Since Etsy.com caved to a handful of impatient customers who felt that a double bout of pneumonia was not a good enough excuse for production delays, I had to find a new home for WeeFolk Outfitters wares.

My doors are now available at http://weefolkoutfitters.dawanda.com and I'm looking into selling on a few other sites that specialize in handcrafted items as well.

I did very well on Etsy and really liked the community there. I was (and still am) finishing off the existing orders placed on Etsy and expect to have them all shipped out shortly. If you have an outstanding order from Etsy, you can contact me directly at sfulk[AT]zoominternet[DOT]net and I'll give you a status update.

In the meantime, I'm excited about my new shop at DaWanda.com and look forward to building a following there. I also hope to see my many satisfied Etsy customers visit the new shop.

Thanks again to all of my customers, new and old... your business is very much appreciated!
