forest's fungi

homes and habitats

June 30th, 2010

this past weekend we went hiking at one of our favorite places, .  the brush is so thick and the floors of the forest are covered in moss, this park reminds me of northern california.  we were hunting for chantrelle mushrooms and found a bunch of beautiful other mushrooms. 

are there any mushroom experts out there that know what any of these are?

homegrown wedding

instant inspiration

June 25th, 2010

i just went to one of the sweetest weddings ever!  everything was home grown, handmade, and locally sourced.

click to see the lovely flowers from their wedding

sharing some details……

i smitten over these flower garlands that were handmade by the bride’s mom.

mandy spent a year making these glasses for each guest to take with them.  they are made from wine bottles which have been cut and sanded.

reuseable napkins were made from fabric, the locally made cheeses were yummy!

these sweet hand painted numbers were tied to local milk jugs and marked each table.

i love the cupcake holder that was made from reclaimed wood and tin platters.

welcome bags for each guest were hand painted and included handmade items such as ‘love butter’ made by mandy.
