Collection Challenge #80 - Mushrooms

Heather from Heather Donohue Crafts asked to see my collection of mushrooms.  At first I did not think I had much a collection in this category, but after I looked around a bit I realized I had a few mushrooms sprouting here and there and enough to do a post.

This is my favorite all time mushroom and it also falls into the honeycomb paper category.  It lives in my living room in a corner cabinet next to a party favor swan and my collection of cream ware. The mushroom is marked Denmark.

This trio of mushrooms lives in my cabinet of curiosities.  They do sprout up everywhere.  Usually I group collections, but these mushrooms have a mind of their own and sprout up willy nilly.

This was my best estate sale find ever on mushrooms.  They are spun cotton and I found a gazillion of them.  They are marked "Made in Germany East" on the paper tag.

Napping wooden gnomes with mushrooms.

Made by a local crafter, these mushrooms add some whimsy to a plant in my living room.

Teeny tiny mushrooms.

Handmade felted and paper clay  mushrooms decorate a mobile in my studio.

Being a crafter of course I have a tin of mushroom to put to use. Note the little mushroom tag on the outside of the tin, so I can tell the contents.

Mushrooms have turned up in my crafting this holiday season.  These are little glass ones on clips that I decorated with a spun snowman. The mushrooms were estate sale found.

Mushrooms sprouting up left and right. In my head a collection must have at least three, so I definitely surpassed that mark.  Good challenge Heather.

If you have an idea for a future challenge, please leave me a comment and finish the sentence "Show me your collection of ____".  I will see what I can do.

P.S. I was going to do a collection challenge on vintage Thanksgiving since it would have been so timely...but realized I did that last year!

I feel like I'm sitting here going through a good book with my coffee
:D
Amazing collection of mushrooms. I keep waiting for Alice in Wonderland to pop out somewhere!
Love that tin full of tiny mushrooms. Well, they're all cute actually LOL.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh I love mushrooms and you have quite a lovely collection. I have made some out of felt and painted on white dots on red felt with a pencil eraser end and then sprinkled glitter on the dots, they were so cute.

I have a feather tree that comes out at Christmas. It's filled with toadstools and mini elves. Last year, Josie helped me make tiny toadstools with acorns. Your collection is just wonderful.

#80 - WOWZA!! Love the color of those spun cotton ones. They are just made for little vintage knomes.

Great mushroom collection! I found a box full of ceramic ones at an estate sale, they were an ugly brown so I painted them red and added white polka dots and they sold instantly. They are so hot right now! Thanks for sharing.

I can hardly believe it's been 80 weeks since you did Scottish Terriers - I bet you have some new Scotties since then - I do!!

Oh yes, you do have quite the mushroom collection. They really do just sneak up on you, don't they. Collections, I mean.
Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving.

I love toadstools so incredibly fairy like? Even when found in the grass it is an aha moment. You have a wonderful collection....Have a Happy Thanksgiving....still coughing in Kansas....Renee

There's just something about shrooms, especially the polka dot ones, that add the perfect touch of whimsy to any room! Gosh, I can't believe you're on collection #80. Do you have any vintage deers? And have you featured any Santas? Those are my requests!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Carol

I love your 'shrooms! I've never seen a honeycomb one until I saw yours-- great find!
I smiled when I saw the gnome napping... sooo sweet!
I didn't realize that I have a 'shroom collection. I've got three on my tree this year... yes, my Christmas tree is up already. I like coming home to Christmas after thanksgiving!
Hugs,
Jill
