Modish Trendwatch: Mushrooms!

The first trendwatch find are cuter than cute, kitschy fungi for a fun guy, mushrooms!  Gone are the days of polymer clay mushrooms hanging off hemp macramé chokers, this season's mushrooms are bright and cheery, Japanese inspired and even handy to have in your home.  Take a peek!

Those are all so cute! I don't know who first started the idea that icky mushrooms could become darling and even huggable, but it works!

For Christmas, I made my brother a stuffed Goomba, which is a mushroom character from all the Super Mario games: http://fluffyland.com/blog/?p=68
