Holiday Knick Knackery, Part One

The mushroom- guy ornament, made in Germany, was purchased at Yulefest in Seattle a few years back. The four other similar ones with ladybugs on them are from our recent trip to Mexico where there were a few little shops opening for the season selling only holiday decorations.  There are two knitting mushrooms, one I ordered online, the other I found at the local thriftstore, the very day after I had seen the exact one in the Hearthsong catalog and had set my mind on ordering it someday.  The three attached calico softie ones I purchased at a local holiday craft fair 7 or 8 years ago, at the same fair that I sold the wool felt ornament mushrooms and hearts that I made.  The six red and four brown wooden mushrooms up front are painted wooden drawer knobs (idea blatantly swiped from here).  So, there you have it, my own little fairie ring.
