My youngest received this darling backpack from our neighbors (Thanks Michele!) for her 2nd birthday. I couldn't have been more pleased as I'm going through a bit of a mushroom/fairy/gnome phase right now. My phase, however, is NOTHING compared to the obsession I found on this blog. So flippin' cute! I looked over every picture, clicked every link, and read each post. I'll definitely head back there on days when I need a little cute fix. And, YES I will be making the toadstool doorstop.
The mushroom section in my Golden Treasury of Natural History caught my eye. It explains why fairies and mushrooms go together and the whole fairy ring thing. It says:
Long ago people thought that the rings formed by the fairy ring mushroom were actually made by fairies. Scientists know no that the mycelium of this plant spreads underground in all directions to form the circle. Another name for this small mushroom is "Scotch Bonnet."
How cool is that? I won this vintage kettle cloth recently on ebay. Think it is destine to become a sewing machine cozy. I also purchased this photograph on etsy. Whew.
What are you into these days? Do tell!
