Funky Fungi


Today Sarah and I met up with Janelle and her daughter Rachael at the Inglewood Artisans Market.   There were loads of gorgeous crafty items for sale. My favourite purchase was this trio of Mushrooms from Funky Fungi. I can just picture them at Easter time with eggs around them. I will set them up for an Easter Egg Hunt with my little niece and nephews!  

I  am between magazine projects at the moment, so had some time to make something for myself! I made up this monchromatic quilted handbag that was inspired by one I spied in this book.  

Have a great weekend!

Oh!! Love that bag...I am a black and white girl!! It is really sad but I only buy black, white and red clothes! It makes shopping so much easier!!! Cathyx

Christy said...

Those mushrooms are the cutest!Happy valentine's!

Suzanne said...

Love the mushrooms. You would not believe it Shakira just put some of them outside for the fairies to visit tonight.
They do sparkle if they get wet overnight. I usually sneak out and put fairy dust on them while she is asleep.
I must check out those markets.

Natasha said...

Love the bag. The black and white is really effective and will go with everything you are wearing. Now I have another Japanese book on my wish list!

Stephanie said...

GORGEOUS bag. Love the black white combination and mostly I love the shape! I seem to make bags for everyone else but me. That needs to change.

Anne Heidi said...

The mushrooms are just supercool! Love the bag- doesn't it feel good to make something just for fun...?

Tracy said...

Hi, Lisa! LOVE those fungi...such fun! I'd like groups of those, like fairy rings... :o) Your bag is wonderful--love the monochromatic look. Hope you & yours are having a wonderful Valentine's weekend! May it be rosy with love and fun! It's sooo cold here, we're not venturing out--LOL! We'll make a special dinner, a little wine, a film cozy a home...After a busy week, it's treats I think! :o) ((HUGS))

Renee said...

I love your magic mushrooms. Make sure they are not placed in a circle, we don't want the nephew and niece to disappear into the fairy world.

Love Renee

That's a great bag!

Jenny said...

That bag is just lovely and that magazine too looks like a special one!Great that you have made something for yourself.

janis said...

The mushrooms are SO cute! I can't decide if they are ceramic or lacquered? Looks like elves should be hiding behind them. Maybe they are!

And the bag -- I love it! I like black/white. Very classy.

I'm glad I caught up to your blog. I'll be back often. :)

Cascade Lily said...

Jackie said...

I am a bag-girl, lovely bag,and the kids sure love those cute mushroom.

Julz said...

Gorgeous bag, so cute mushrooms, love finding quirky things like that. Hugs Jx

silverpebble said...

That bag is really lovely - it reminds me of one Lucy Locket made for Dot for school. I can certainly imagine some pixies under those toadstools. I've got a couple here actually and one is even small enough to sit underneath, although she can't quite crawl yet.

Such lovely things in your previous posts - that oblong cushion with some AB magic is especially beautiful.

Hope it's not too hot there at the moment

I love your version of the handbag. I have one made up but it doesn't have handles on it yet!@!!!

Jelly Wares said...

The bag looks great and I love those mushies too... They sure will look great at easter time with little eggs scattered around underneath them..

Take Care
Jodie :)

Janellybelly said...

Rach & I had such a lovely morning with you both :) will have to take a camera with us next time. The new bag looks amazing.

raining sheep said...

That handbag is to die for. My favorite color as well... it has black! Cute fungi, those would be so cute nestled amongst some flowers like nasturtiums inside a flower bed.

Katherine said...

Great bag, Lisa! Glad you got some time in to make something for yourself.

zoesquid said...

Great bag. Congrats on making something for yourself for a change!

Knit and Sew City Girl said...

Great bag! I also like your idea of using the mushroom for your Easter Egg hunt. We may be having an Egg hunt this Easter too.

Those mushrooms are such a great score! Looking forward to seeing how you put them to use at Easter!
Cheers,

Thimbleanna said...

Those mushrooms are adorable. They need a little gnome to go with them LOL. Love your new bag!

The Vintage Rose said...

What gorgeous mushrooms AND bag!

Shannon said...

Your Funky Fungi are so happy looking - I wonder how they would look in my snow covered yard? :)
And the bag is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Heleen said...

the mushrooms are lovely!! so is your bag.

Net said...

Those fungi are fantastic! I love the idea of having Easter eggs around them.

The Blonde Duck said...

Love the bag!

Rachael Rabbit said...

My I haven't even begun to think about Easter this year - I think it might come and go without me noticing ;-) Are the fungi pottery? I'm dying to know what they are made out of - they look fabulous. An amazingly green lawn you have too!

Camera Girl said...

Cute mushrooms!

Sherrin said...

I really like your bag! Great shape. :o)

Sarah said...

I've seen some of those mushrooms at another market and got talking to the person selling them. Apparently they're quite easy to make, you just make a mould for the cap, pour wet cement in and stick some PVC pipe in for the stem then paint it when it's dry.

Good idea to use them for easter!

Hoppo Bumpo said...

Those toadstools are magical. Little kids will have the best fun having an Easter Egg hunt round those!

Your bag is lovely. I think black and white always looks very elegant.

wow power leveling said...

Why was there no follow on bankruptcy then? The bailout of AIG FP went to (wow power leveling) hedge funds that bound credit swaps on Lehman failing or others betting on rating (wow power leveling) declines. AIG has drained over 100 billion from the government. Which had to go to (wow power leveling) those who bet on failures and downgrades. Many of whom (power leveling)were hedge funds. I-banks that had offsetting swaps needed the money from the AIG bailout or they would have been caught. Its an (wow powerleveling) insiders game and it takes just a little bit too much time for most people to think (wow gold) through where the AIG 100 billion bailout money went to, hedge funds and players, many of whom hire from the top ranks of DOJ, Fed, Treasury, etc. ZHANG XIAO CHEN
