Near the end of last year, our great granddaughter started talking about
"talking mushrooms." She told her mummy and Santa Claus that she wanted mushrooms for Christmas. None of us—she absolutely stumped Santa—could figure out what she meant. My granddaughter asked the teachers at her daycare/pre-school if they had read a story or mentioned talking mushrooms at all to Caroline. They said, "No."
Then one day while they were eating breakfast out at a restaurant, a little boy heard her talking about talking mushrooms and said he loved them too, more than the current "hero" to that age group. So he grabbed Caroline's hand and off they went in the restaurant, their own little world.
So I went online and googled talking mushrooms and came up with a book and the old Mario-type movies of talking mushrooms. We asked her if this was what she was talking about but she said no. I bought the book to the tune of $25 and sent it to her and she loved it anyway, but in her 2 year-old mind she couldn't explain exactly what she meant.
Then one day at Michaels they had some candy called talking mushrooms so I bought that for her and she was fine—candy cures everything, ya know. But we've never been able to figure out what exactly talking mushrooms are. So if anyone out there knows, we'd be grateful for the information. We're still stymied.

Isn't this exquisite? I don't think I'd like to clean it but it is beautiful.
See, flowers can make anything look gorgeous.
While it looks like it's crumbling, it still has a lot of character with its verdigris shutters.
Just beautiful plates.
Even grunge can look pretty if done correctly. ;-)
I like the red and white checks on this chair.
Those verdigris shutters again on a different house, but notice the gorgeous roses also.
I cant quite figure this out except that it's a kitchen somewhere but the banner looks like a medieval joust is about to take place.
I love this little vignette of pink and white striped candles, roses, pink ribbon and pink candy.
Such a pretty solitary place to sit, shaded with an arbor and clematis.
I believe this is a section of a store with all that stuff around but it is none-the-less gorgeous. I see some things I'd like for my home.
How cute are these red and white checked shoes!!
Regular old jars done up pretty for a party. Take a hint for your next party.
Just because I love roses...
I like what they've done with the lawn chairs but the setting is quite striking also.
