mushroom garland

 










An Aladdin's cave.
Some fossicked champagne corks.
Pausing for a second..."who drank these bubbles, what were they celebrating...love perhaps?"
Lashings of paint; first the white, then the cherry red.
Catching my breath at her nimbleness with a brush...when did she grow so much?
Sleepy baby boy and stolen time alone on the grass just my girl and me.
Many tiny spots. Much fantastical story making.
Loops of twine.
A perfect hanging place.

    This is a fabulous idea - so simple, but so beautiful! I don't think I have commented before, but I have been reading your blog [and previous one too] for a long time. Your space is a source of inspiration for me and a reminder to take it slow and really notice my ever growing baby, every day. Thankyou Steph!

    I love this...such an adorable idea.
    I am thinking of what else a champagne cork looks like...and how many bottles I will have to drink to have enough for a garland!

    So cute! Such a good idea. I have to put it on my to-do list. I knew those champagne corks would come in handy one day (might need a few more, though).

    I love your mushrooms! What a great way to use corks - I can see that we're going to need to drink some Champagne, just so that I can make some too.
