Recently I have received several requests for information on my go-to Waldorf related resources. The information I am presenting here will also be available on my Blogs I Stalk section under the subheading Waldorf. I will continue to add to it there so be sure to check back every so often. If there is a resource that I missed, please link it up in the comments. I am also always looking for cool Waldorf shops on Etsy so if you have a favorite, please share in the comments as well.
