One of these really cute handcrafted berets looks like a toadstool, and I am guessing that is where Etsy user Tiny Toadstool got the name.
At $128 each, these berets are not cheap, but they are works of art with amazing intricate detail. The berets look like they come from a fairytale, and the sets with a hat and matching gloves really are too whimsical for words.
