Felix Doolittle Giveaway!

Felix Doolittle has become an EOS holiday staple gift source, which delights me to no end as they are a darling local Newton, MA based company that creates beautiful illustrated paper goods (also, Oprah named them “her favorite stationery” too so, you know, there’s THAT).  This year we feature them again, not only because so many of you loved them too, but also because they have new items available this season perfect for gifting (and also, because I love supporting small businesses like this!)

One of the new items they have are larger 16″ x 20″ art prints of Felix’s watercolors.  I can’t get over how gorgeous they are, and I was so interested to find out about Felix Fu’s story behind his amazing talent.  His passion for drawing began as a youngster growing up in Hong Kong where to be appointed a provincial government official in China, the candidate had to excel in painting, calligraphy, and poetry– Felix’s grandfather was one such an official. But as generations and the local culture changed, Felix’s continued love of drawing and the arts was not encouraged, especially as he often chose to draw instead of concentrating on the lesson at hand in school, or later, drawing instead of doing his homework. He kept his drawings small so they could be easily hidden by a cupped hand.  And his love of painting and drawing in small scale grew from there!  So now painting on an 8′ x 10″ sheet of paper feels absolutely HUGE to him!

Here are some of the large prints on a wall!

His more standard tiny paintings shown here (this paper is 3.5″ x 5″– and look at the detail on that fern! Amazing!)

Today I get to give away THREE of the large prints to three lucky winners!  Perfect for children’s rooms or powder rooms (or to give someone as a gift this season!)  You can see them all here (only the first 10 are available large- the animals are not yet!). To enter please comment on which one you would like and I will pick winners tomorrow!

      1. Thanks for letting me know! I think I got too excited and started hyper scrolling! They are all so beautiful and I cant wait to visit the store! The trout may have to make an appearance in my apartment!

  6. The buffalo or the trout for a nursery I’m designing for my first baby (a boy!). Either of these would be so perfect. And remind us of my brother/uncle-to-be who lives in Colorado.

  7. Erin – these are truly works of art. My twin girls would love the “Favorite Things” or the “Speckled Trout” (as they love to fish with their dad)! Happy holidays to your family!

  8. Absolutely gorgeous. I love the English Oak print and will definitely be purchasing some of the animal prints in the smaller size. That giraffe!

  11. The bison for my amazing husband who follows me around the world but pines for the ranch where he grew up.

  13. Would love the “Favorite Things” for my 3 year old son’s room. Except for the frog (which I’m sure he would love!) those are all items in his room and are definitely among his favorite things.

  15. I adore these prints! I love the rainbow trout – my husband is an avid fisherman and it would fit perfectly in our home!

  20. That tree is so lovely and inspiring. Like a perfect summer day spent dreaming and reading. But I am floored — I work in Newtonville and grew up in West Newton but had no idea about this shop. Thank you so much — I will definitely be checking it out!

  36. love the tree and the bison! we had some close encounters with bison on a trip to Yellowstone (we stayed inside our car!), they are enormous!

  52. The Buffalo for sure…something so beautiful about that one! Who am I kidding, they are all AMAZING! The detail blows me away.

  66. That tree, the stationary, the beauty. I use your gift lists every year for my Christmas shopping. This is just one more great tip. Thank you, thank you!

  68. Erin it was your first post about Felix Doolittle that got me to buy their address labels which I adore! Love the tree painting for my office or the bench painting for my hallway. First time I’m posting a comment on this blog. Followed you from residency in Pittsburgh, to my first job in Connecticut, & now in Charlotte. Proud & happy for your all your success & achievements ! Your book is my interior decorating bible & my interior decorator teases me about it ! Can’t wait for the second book!

  72. These are beautiful !!! I love the tree print ( I have life long love affair with gorgeous old trees 😉) and the bunny print 🐰 as it reminds me of my daughter who is 5 right now, but ever since she was born , she loved bunnies , we like watching them on our backyard and when she couldn’t fall asleep my husband would always tell her a story about a bunny that she would dream about later 😴

  73. Oh I adore the “Favorite Things” print. But a close 2nd would be the “English Oak.” So beautiful!

  76. I would love to own any one of those beautiful works of art. They are gorgeous. I am somewhat local and will be stopping into his store. He is so talented.

  83. I love the buffalo print! The cheetah is a close second, but hopefully Santa can take care of that one :)

  85. I would love to be able to gift the bunny to my mom. She has been collecting all things bunny since a trip to France. The bunnies remind her of the countryside there and I think she would love this!

  89. The fox with the arched branch is my favorite – reminds me of the foxes we have in our area. :)

  90. What a fun holiday offer, but such a tough choice! I’ve narrowed it down to the serenity of the English Oak or the whimsy of the Bookkeeper (but hey, that Bear is pretty charming, too). I give up… if I win, you can just surprise me!

  91. I’d pick the Favorite Things print for sure! Would be so flipping cute in the nursery we are setting up for a March arrival!!

  95. My son would looooove the one with the dinosaur. Or the zebra one for my daughter. I might need them both!

  97. I love the Paper Mouse – such a fantastic store! And the English Oak would be my choice. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  100. I especially love the beautiful tree – it reminds me of a tree you’d see in a very quiet and peaceful field. Thanks for sharing this art with us.

  101. The large standing Bear or orange and white bow tie for my son Teddy’s nursery. Love Felix Doolittle!

  102. The tree! Exquisite artistic detailing in each and every one. A studied approach. Any one would be greatly appreciated.

  103. I love the trout (or the rocket too!) So cute for a little boy’s room or the trout for a mountain house!

  105. I love the buffalo so much but these are all beautiful. I wish I was local so I could take a class.

  106. Felix has quite the talent ! I think I would frame the safari bookmarks all together but spaced out how you laid them out on the post above. It would be perfect for my best friends nursery!

  107. I love the hat–it generates happy thoughts of warm, calming places . I also love the bunny; it would be a perfect gift for my new granddaughter who just turned 6 and loves bunnies😊

  109. His work is gorgeous! I have the perfect spot for the English oak print. I am off to order a set of bookplates for our book worm daughter, she will love them!

  113. I absolutely love the trout. A perfect gift for my father who’s a devout freshwater fisherman.

  114. Wow! They are all so beautiful! I would pick the bear or the rainbow trout. Either would be perfect in my son’s room to remind him of our recent vacation out west where we saw bear and caught trout.

  117. Thank you for sharing these! I adore the English Oak, because it reminds me of a tree on my husband’s family property in NH. They just sold the property since his mom has Alzheimer’s, but I would love to give him the tree to to signify that his strong family will continue with her roots and new branches!

  127. The “Favorite Things” art print! We’re pregnant for our first child–a son!–and this screams a boy and his toys to me.

  128. Felix is incredibly talented – I have admired his work for awhile and the quality of the products is exceptional. I really love the tree, it looks just like the one where I was standing with my dad shortly before he passed. He loved the outdoors and trees always remind me of him. I also like the sereneness of the bench with 3 pillows. Thank you EOS for the discount code :)

  133. I love the buffalo print! My husband and I met in college at CU Boulder, so the buffalo print is fitting :) Thanks for the chance to win!

  136. How can you choose just one?! I love them all – but the 4 series of animal prints are too good, especially the zebra!

  137. These are all so lovely! I would choose the Goldfish Bowl. It reminds me of the Matisse painting, though the styles are very different.

  142. The bison print would be so beautiful in my son Beau’s room–we live in South Dakota and just an hour away from a state park with bison. So perfect! Thanks for a great giveaway and discount.

  146. Definitely the Bear! Would be perfect in my young son’s cabin themed bedroom. I love them all though!

  149. They are all wonderful! Sir Mousey or Favorite Things would be perfect for my son Henry’s nursery! Moving into our new house in January!

  150. I love the “Favorite Things” art – it’s gorgeous – so sophisticated for a little boy’s room.

  152. I love that first one with the books, spaceship, dinosaur, etc. would look adorable in my sons room!! ( also a Henry! :) )

  165. So lovely! I’m dying to see the shop now! The straw hat is amazing. Love the animals too!!

  166. The bear…we had a young black bear in our neighborhood, and my husband followed it as it ambled about the area. I know, he is crazy! Both survived the ordeal.
    Planning a trip to W. Newton and The Paper Mouse to see the items in person.

  167. Love the Oak; reminds me of the oak tree in our front yard growing up. Everything is wonderful! Very talented.

  170. As an artist, I love that you featured a local artisan. This is my thought process when choosing a favorite:
    “Oh definitely the stand up bear…wait, the zebra…oh my daughter would love the giraffe…crap, the roosters are cool, too.” Too many good ones. Very talented!

  175. These are all so beautiful but I especially love the Berry Bear, English Oak, and Patrick Junior prints.

  202. His dog pictures (actually all the animals but #crazydoglady here) are amazing. Can you please make a larger English springer spaniel print. Pretty please!

  207. They are all gorgeous…but I think my favorite is the English Oak! Now I’m off to order some darling kitchen labels. :)

  208. The English Oak is a wonderful reminder that even though we live in turbulent times , life goes on and the sheltering oak stand strong and beautiful in our sight .

  212. As a writer, the Bookkeeper absolutely charms me! Heading back to the site to do a little Christmas shopping now!

  222. The bookkeeper captured my heart! That is the one that I love the most, the clever monkey with his stash of literature :-)

  225. I love the trout print! It would give the perfect pop of color in our downstairs powder room! Thank you!

  229. I would definitely pick the English Oak – it is gorgeous and reminds me of my wedding. I have to say, all the bookmarks are so lovely! I would be tempted to frame the group instead of using them for their intended purpose.

  230. WOW! What an amazing talent. His work is captivating. If I were to win it would definitely be the oak tree. We just moved to a new community and we chose our lot becasue at the end of the street there is a majestic old oak tree that has been here since the days of John Muir, whose home is across the main street from our community. Oak trees have a spot in my heart, so that is what and why I would choose it!!

  234. I’d pick the dinosaur and spaceship for my dino, space and animal obsessed 6 year old daughter. She would think that was so cool.

    All the work is so lovely.

  246. Love that this is a local non-Amazon purchasable gift which is what I love to give – thanks for sharing Erin. Buffalo pretty please! It will be perfect it my son’s wall of western animals/scenes.

  247. My husband and I started dating when he lived in Buffalo, where he went to school, and we have been on the look out for a lovely large size Buffalo print/painting that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. So I would love that one.

  251. Hard to choose. But I think I’d pick the oak. Once upon a time I read a quote…From mighty oaks, little acorns grow. Never have forgotten that one for some reason.

    1. I love the buffalo! I am a sucker for any animal in my 4 month old’s room. All the stuff is awesome, definitely have to check out the store!
      Thanks!

  252. Thank you for sharing these beautiful prints and amazing artist. They are all absolutely stunning and what an amazing inspirational story.

    I love the whalerider print! so serene.

    Happy holidays to you and your family!
    Caitlin

  253. The English Oak! Love all of Felix’s designs, though. I hate to use my stationery and address labels because they are so beautiful and I want them to last forever!

  254. So beautiful– I will definitely stop by his store when I’m in MA over the holidays! I’d choose the Rocket Launch print– my son would love it for his room.

  259. They’re all amazing. If I could choose one, I would choose the English Oak. We are just finishing up our renovation and this print would look great in my dining room. So much money spent on the renovation (as you know), I’m finding it hard to muster the strength to furnish and decorate the house with art. This would be the perfect holiday treat! I live in Brookline, so definitely want to stop by the store sometime! Thank you!

  260. I love Felix Doolittle. The chefs labels are fabulous for homemade food gifts for the holidays.

    I would love the Sir Mousy print for my little boys room!

  261. It was such an easy choice for me. I adore the print of the collection of toy items suited for a little boy. Absolutely nailed the interests of my 4 year old grandson! It would look so perfect in his bedroom. Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful artist to my attention. I am now off to order some items from his online store. Thank you!

  264. I adore the French Roast or the Bear print! Beautiful gifts, and stunning artwork!

    Thank you!

  265. thank you for showcasing them! i love Felix Doolittle and it has become my favorite source for gifts since you introduced me years ago. :)

  266. Rocket Launch would be perfect for my 4 year old’s room, although the English Oak is classic too!

  268. I was so excited to see this post today and to learn the history behind this lovely artist…..reaffirms for me that you should never stop doing what you love even in the face of adversity! I bought several gifts with the discount you provided, but would LOVE the Grand Oak for myself to put in our guest room which I’m in the process of redesigning. Thank you for sharing his work!
    Gabrielle

  269. I’m an Okie living in Texas and would love the buffalo print as a daily reminder of my roots.

  270. So hard to pick! But I adore the books with the dinosaur and rocket. Encapsulates my 2 boys who are growing too quickly and the things they love as young children!

    Thank you for showcasing this lovely artist!

  272. This store looks incredible! I’ve always meant to stop by –

    I’d pick the oak – so majestic.

  275. So talented! So maybe I shouldn’t be frustrated when my own children doodle instead of working on their homework b/c maybe they, too, will be a brilliant artist someday?!? :-) His work is amazing. If I hadn’t actually finished my shopping already, I would strongly consider ordering his work. That tree…that would be my pick. Our family tree is a bit wonky…we have a few biological children and we have some adopted children. Our son that we have had since birth, has the most amazing birth parents who are our heroes. They are very much a part of our family and thus extend off a few branches in our tree. Two of our boys are from Ethiopia and that tree resembles the few we saw standing…so majestic in a field so beautiful yet baron b/c most everything was burned for fuel in the 80’s and again in the last decade when they have suffered so greatly. Because of how complicated our family tree looks, I have avoided an actual tree print where names are filled in, and have been focusing on finding the perfect looking tree that represents who we are as a family. I LOVE that tree!

  276. I would get the polar bear swimming. My daughters best friend left Her small school and it’s been hard for her, especially starting middle school. I like it because it epitomizes that anything CAN really happen!

  280. The BEAR is my absolute favorite, though i would love any of his prints. I have been taking watercolor classes from a local artist for a few years now and continue to gain more and more appreciation for the craft and talent.

  281. Love their work. Have bought paperweights and bookmarks in the past and will have to find my way to the bricks and mortar store.
    I would LOVE any print They are unique and special and make you smile!

  282. The cheetah print is amazing! We went to the Serengeti on our honeymoon and spent several days driving around looking for a cheetah, with no luck seeing one. So it would be kind of funny to have the cheetah print to remind us of our honeymoon!

  284. Thank you for introducing me to this talented artist! Winning one of his works would be such a treat! I love the bear but would probably choose the gracious English Oak. Thanks!

  289. The Berry Bear! Would be a perfect gift for our wonderful friends’ bunkhouse when we visit them in Maine this summer.

  290. How absolutely beautiful!! I love them all. The animals have such personality! If I had to choose just one, I would choose the mighty oak. Also, thank you for the discount! I’m off to do some Christmas shopping for some really special people.

  295. That English Oak print makes me want to take a blanket and a book and sit right down – it would be a perfect relaxation nook addition!

  297. The beautiful Buffalo! We love Yellowstone National Park, and that would be a beautiful reminder!

  299. They are so lovely! I would very much like to have the tree, it would mean so much I’m soon to start Ma fashion-art&lifestyle blog and that is something I would love to have on my desk wall! And maybe someday Collab. Fantastic Giveaway by the way…Xoxo!

  300. I love the whalerider print! I’ve used Felix Doolittle bookplates for book themed baby shower or childs birthday. Everything they create is beautiful.

    I live in West Roxbury, will try to visit the store as well.

  302. Hi Erin,
    I’d love to be the winner of Whalerider! This sweet print would be a thoughtful reminder of all the whales we’ve recently seen here at the Jersey Shore.
    Happy Holidays!

  303. Oh goodness I was just thinking today that my sons room needs more art.
    I’m feeling a weakness for Buffalo. And the smaller Whale Rider, Polar Bear & Seals…love the movement. Thanks for coupon codes!!

  305. These are perfect! I wish I had talent, of any sort really. But if I do t have talent, I’d settle for that beautiful Buffalo print! :)

  307. I have ALWAYS loved his work. Received a Christmas card almost a decade ago.
    His work is amazing.

  309. Love, love, love the print with the books, dinosaur,etc. My almost 6 year old grandson has decided that we wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up tomorrow and he would just love to have this beautiful print in his bedroom.

  310. Why have I never thought of personalized book plates for gifts?!
    For the contest I have to say the Buffalo, reminds me of my WNY home. Though that bookshelf, squee

  311. These are so beautiful! I would love “The Bookkeeper” for my daughters room. Looking at a bunch of other personalized items for some gifts – thanks for the recommendation.

  314. Oh wow!! I would love the English oak or darling bench print. I had no idea (not sure how I missed it) and that EOS had a relationship with Felix. He did my wedding invitations 12 years ago. We found him word of mouth and he drew the most amazing Boston public garden scene for us. Love him. I haven’t kept track and am thrilled to see all his work. I would love the tree as a memory to when we worked together years ago. So beautiful!

  315. Oh my goodness!! Love them all, but especially the Backyard Treasure. Can’t wait to explore more of his work!

  317. What beautiful work! I especially like the Rainbow Speckled Trout – the colors make me happy!

  320. I love this! I live in JP and will definitely visit the adorbs store! My favorite prints are the Narwhale and seersucker bow tie- both would be great in my son’s first ‘big boy room,’ as we transition him out of the nursery to make room for his sibling arriving spring 2017!

  323. Favorite Things (it might become my favorite thing)! Can’t wait to visit his shop next time I’m in the area.

  324. I just love that buffalo! I wish the bunny came in a larger size because my last name is Rabbitt

  325. Favorite things is my favorite! My four year olds favorite things are all pictured – dinos, rockets, boats and books! Love it.

  326. Hi Erin!

    I love the buffalo print and would LOVE to give that to my dad for Christmas.

    I have a blog post idea for you! The best paint colors for dimly lit rooms (such as north facing rooms, rooms without a lot of natural night in general, and basement rooms.)

    I painted my bedroom Pink Damask by BM and it really didn’t do me any favors…I need help!

    Thanks!

  327. I have bought Felix Doolitle gifts many times and I adore his stationary! I am in LOVE with the goldfish bowl!! Although, I know my husband , an avid fly fisherman would adore the rainbow trout. I’ll have to make the selfish vote and hope I am the lucky winner of the Goldfish Bowl : )

  328. The buffalo! My husband and I often remind each other to engage challenges like the buffalo. Unlike cattle who run away from the storm and thus get stuck in the torment longer, buffalo run straight into it, engaging the struggle upfront and finding peace quickly. “Be the buffalo!”

  330. The Tree. My husband and I were married in front a beautiful tree on the Georgia coast. Trees have become a part of our life together.

  333. Hey Erin,

    I would love to win the Straw Hat piece for my mudroom. It needs some love! Also – love your blog, your book and your life – thanks for being such a happy point in my day!

    Tamara

  334. I would adore the Favorite Things. It would be just perfect in my 14 month old son’s room!!
    He loves dinosaurs and books!

  338. The hat picture. My parents always wear hats and have nails above the coat hooks for their hats. When they go for walks, they each pick their hat. (My mom reads the blog but I don’t know if she reads the comments, if so – Hi Mom! That print reminds me of you :)

  341. Love his art! Hard to choose a favorite: the goldfish bowl? the buffalo? Have his zebra calling cards, thanks to your mention years ago on the blog. Only problem: they’re almost too precious to give away!

  342. Thank you for introducing me to this incredible artist and his beautiful artwork! I found several perfect gifts for my husband, mom and best friend on his website.

    I would love to win the Retro Typewriter; his art evokes fun and artistry and such talent!

  343. These are all amazing! I have two liftle boys and all of these would be amazing for their playroom or bedrooms. I’m partial the buffalo right now- it would be just perfect form my little guys. Really hoping you pick me!!! And the stationary, and gift tags are also perfection. Thank you for sharing. Fingers crossed for an early Christmas gift- pretty please!!!

  344. Wow! I love them all SO much! We are renovating our basement and the Favorite Things print would be PERFECT for the new playspace. So very cute. Thanks for the opportunity!

  345. Hi! Did you see your book displayed on Fixer Upper last night? I was psyched for you! I love the painting of the tree.I love trees. Arbor day holds a special place in my heart because Jordan Marsh use to give out saplings on Arbor Day. My Dad and I would plant them. BUT honestly any print would do, they are awesome!

  350. I would love the tree print! It is beautiful and reminds me of the trees at my childhood home north of Boston

  351. I would choose the ‘Favorite Things’ print for my sons room- because, from the dinosaurs, to the rocket ship, to the books, it is truly full of his favorite things!

    All the best!

  353. I love the berry bear! My daughter has a thing for bears so that would be perfect for us! Love everything!

  354. I love the cheetah! (And the buffalo, and so many of these amazing prints.) But that singular cheetah is my favorite. :)

  355. Wow!!! I love these sweet and sophisticated pieces. The first one (with dinosaur and other toys) or the buffalo would be so sweet framed in my son’s nursery. I’m from a family of all women and have been having a lot of fun preparing for his arrival in March. Snips and snails and puppy dog tails :)

  357. I have been looking at his work almost once a week since I saw Henry’s’ cute bookplate. The English oak is so striking as probably my favorite. I ordered the calandra for my grandma and was so amazed at the pictures when it arrived. I hope someday he makes larger prints of the American landscapes!

  362. These are all so incredible – love his work!!! The giraffe is so special – had stamps with this design and would love to have this larger version for Grace’s room!!! Thanks for everything you share!!!!

  363. The green tree is simply wonderful! So much detail & shading for a monochromatic masterpiece!

  366. Thank you for this opportunity Erin, I love Straw Hat and would be thrilled to win one.

  368. Enchanting talent.. I would love the buffalo. I lived in Wyoming for a while and those beasts have my heart!

  370. I adore Felix’s work! Have been a fan since I received the most lovely note from a friend a few years ago on his paper; I still use it as a bookmark today. I am drawn to the fern – the detail is incredible! And there’s always a place for a little green in any room…

  372. I just love The buffalo..my youngest son ( of 5 ) has just left to work on a buffalo ranch in Montana..this would make me happy to walk by every day and see.

  375. Love Felix Doolittle! I’m feeling the English Oak today, but I’m sure it will change tomorrow – how can you choose?!

  376. I would love the tree! Such a beautiful print and I am very involved in tree preservation in our community!

  387. The English Oak Tree has so much quiet grace and beauty. I would frame and hang it in my Mom’s room — though she’s now living with Alzheimer’s, I think it would bring back happy memories of the trees she loved in the backyard of her former home where she lived for 50 years.
    Thanks for the opportunity, Erin ;-)

  391. The Buffalo. Absolutely the Buffalo! In love! Thank you for introducing me to this fabulous artist!

  396. Drooling over the retro typewriter print. Thanks for posting his art, always great to know where to find great artwork!

  399. I would choose the darling bench with the books on it. As a high school reading teacher and an avid reader, I would love to frame this and hang it in my classroom. I’m always trying to make my room look less institutional and more inviting. Thank you for introducing me to his work and to the shop The Paper Mouse.

  401. I am a forest bather so I love the tree. Being out in nature makes me so happy. When it is winter in New York seeing pictures of beautiful green trees helps me make it to the spring.

  402. The detail in these drawings is divine. I love the trees, especially at this time of year when all (or most)of the trees have dropped their leaves , and it’s dark in the late afternoon. The picture is light and happy, and it’s been a tough fall – no pun intended. Great stuff!

  403. Am I too late? I love these Felix Doolittle prints!! I’d choose the tree; hope I win! Thanks.

  404. The English Oak… It would be a perfect addition in my cabin, near tree line, at 10,000 feet in Colorado. I miss the big, beautiful oaks trees in New England.

  406. I am amazed at his talent. I really like to see the detail in the animals. I am drawn to the buffalo.

  411. This whole collection is absolutely gorgeous- such great inspiration thank you for sharing! I think I would like the oak! I grew up around large oak trees and it just makes me think of home :). Happy holidays!

  413. They are all so gorgeous. The trout would perfect for my son. The tree, the cheetah, the buffalo and the ostrich are cool too!
