Mushroom love

As I was browsing blogs and Flickr tonight I came across a couple fun mushroom items...

Gnome Sweet Gnome by Lucky Nielson.

I couldn't copy the next picture probably because it is for sale through their Etsy shop:

The second one is a nice way to add a bit of mushroom decoration to your house.

Lookie lookie!!!

I got a great package from Jenny!! Check it out:

Everything was wrapped so pretty in pattern paper, but I tore thru it opening things before I even thought about taking pictures.  I am a little embarrassed that I never thought to wrap up my packages, but I plan on in the future.  It really makes it more special.  The mushroom is so neat - looks like it's base is a nut (is that right Jenny?).. and OMG the bottle of buttons is great.. this is the second package to include a neat bottle of buttons - I think I will keep them as decor!! The bunny figurine is so cute and will go great with my Easter decorations I am putting up in my house.  She even included a cute little bookmark that I will put to good use and some cute little stickers I will have to fight my daughter for :-)  I hope you like the package I sent you as much as I have enjoyed the one you sent!! Thanks for yet another awesome swap for the month!!

March Mushrooms & More...

I got my package yesterday from Sherry. Look what fun was in store for me!!!
OOH! Some pretty blue tissue paper wrapping all these:
I got two felt mushrooms, eight paper mushrooms, mushroom tags, a momma chicken and chick cleverly hiding an Easter egg and two energy bars!! Woo hoo!!
Here's a closeup of her felt and paper mushrooms...aren't they cute!! I love them!! And the crafty paper ones are awesome too!! I should scrapbook all my ornament pics...what I sent, what I recieved. Hey Val, maybe next year we could continue on with a scrapbook-a-long of all our ornie pics. :) And here's a closeup of the one I made for Sherry out of copper wire, faceted glass opal beads and teal seed beads.Thank you Sherry!! It was such a fun package, I love it all!! My toddler just LOVES the chicken with her egg too! :)

Mushrooms, Clovers and Chickens, Oh My!

Packages in my mailbox two days in a row! Yep, I call that spoiled!

Yesterday, a package arrived from Valerie, our fearless host of this fabulous swap! Just look at the goodies that were inside!

Is this not the cutest bouquet of mushrooms you ever saw?

And just in time for Saint Patrick's Day, this fabulous crocheted clover chain! Do you see what my chickens are wearing? Real, live Mardi Gras beads!

"Woohoo! Show us your beaks?"

Knowing my obsession with chickens, Valerie made this adorable chicken ornament. I am going to have the cutest dang Christmas tree in North Carolina by the time this swap ends!

Wasnna see my mushroom bouquet again?

Who knew a fungi bouquet could make me smile so much?

This beautiful doily is destined for a spot underneath one of my many chicken collectibles!

This bookmark cracked me up! In case your eyes are as bad as mine, it says...

"There are bold mushroom hunters

And there are old mushroom hunters....

But there are no bold, old mushroom hunters..."

One more look at these cuties! Thanks so much Valerie! This is so much fun!
