Trendy toadstool trivet

When I was a kid, I remember seeing the odd mushroom-themed interior design decorative piece. Usually they were in the kitchen and I recall mushroom-shaped salt and pepper shakers, metal canisters with images of mushrooms, and little mushroom knick-knacks and wall decorations. The colors of the mushrooms were usually warm browns, oranges, yellows and greens, and fit in perfectly with the dark brown/avocado green/harvest gold late 60's-70's kitchen colors.

This heavy ceramic and cast iron trivet I found at Goodwill has a muted blue tint on the iron, but would otherwise fit nicely in a 70's vintage kitchen. There are only two ways it could be better: if there was a brown owl nibbling at one of the 'shrooms and the back had a Home Interiors sticker.

Speaking of Home Interiors and owls, I wonder if my mother still has these two hanging around in a box somewhere? They used to sit on the end table next to the couch.
