Toadstool Trend
I found this cute little toadstool outside of our tent last summer when we were camping in Alaska. Can’t you just imagine a little gnome taking a nap underneath it? I think it is pretty much the cutest fungus ever. It puts the yucky late blight that always shows up on my tomatoes to shame.
Lately I’ve been noticing toadstools popping up everywhere…and not just in lawns. When we were in the Bay Area last month, I found toadstool tea towels, stationary, even pencil holders! And Etsy is full of cute toadstool stuff. Here are a few of my favorites:
Adorable tea towels from Atomic Garden in Oakland, California.
Toadstool pencil bag and stationary from Atomic Garden.
Wool felt toy from Little Seedlings and a mini ceramic mushroom for terrariums and containers by Mudpuppy.
Woodland mushroom stationary at Flora Grubb Gardens in San Francisco.
A very cute shirt from Dame Star Baby…if only I were a little bit smaller!
I’m actually in the process of making my son two art smocks with mushrooms on the pockets….we both love mushroom art! And mushrooms for that matter.

Kim–I love sauteed mushrooms on a burger (even better with caramelized onions). Yum!
Sarah–If you ever have a chance to visit Flora Grubbs. GO! It is so great and really easy to get to on the light rail if you don’t have a car.
