mushroom love

cori kindred back again! there's something about the happy little mini-umbrella shape of mushrooms that i just adore. it doesn't hurt that i live in the lush northwest, where mushrooms are popping up nearly year-round (and where a cute little umbrella would definitely come in handy today!).

here are some of my favorite mushrooms:

everything lyndie dourthe creates is pretty much magic. her fascinating use of textiles and paper immediately draw me in to her world, and these fabric mushrooms are no exception.

speaking of magical, hello enchanting little mushroom house! i've yet to find one like this in the mossy forests of oregon, but i'll keep looking...

you can always make your own mushrooms out of recycled paper ~ sounds like the perfect rainy-day project!.

mushrooms and polaroids are one of my favorite pairings. my boyfriend and i found this one at the hoyt arboretum here in portland. isn't it lovely?

tiny mushrooms in thimble planters? how sweet is that!

these gorgeous little champignons were hiding in a vintage french dictionary i found at a book sale. everything is prettier in french!

salvaged leather mushrooms ~ so gorgeous! and i love any project that uses scraps that would otherwise be thrown out.

i love mushrooms so much i even made some to sell! so until this grey rain turns into some spring sunshine, i'll hide out under my virtual collection of little mother nature-made (and home-made) umbrellas.
