When I was a child my aunt used to tell me little stories about fairies and their little lives. According to her, the toadstool or mushroom was an important piece of their lives.
In the picture I have above is a perfect example of a toadstool table and little stools ready made for the fairies. The large on in the middle was mostly flat so it could be used as a table to eat at while the little rounded toadstools were the perfect size for stools to sit on.
Have you ever noticed how closely their houses look like a fat toadstool? I was taught to leave the toadstools alone and not destroy them. If you did you would destroy a little piece of the fairies life.

Those are cute toadstools. Do you know the story of the two young girls who made a fake fairy picture and passed it off for real?

@celticeagle I have heard the story. It was rather creative of those girls. I wonder what ever happened to them.

Your aunt was right... I once made a fairy garden and would visit with them often.

@FibroGoddess I love fairy gardens. I spent many happy hours at my aunts knees listening to her stories.
