Tree Lust

I'm the most acquisitive person I know. I could collect stuff till the end of time. Really, I think I could pile up a bunch of just about anything, given enough time and money. Except maybe baseball cards and Civil War memorabilia ... those strike me as the dullest things imaginable.

I think my tablescapes need a little something to make them look like landscapes.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. I've never seen anything like these before, and if I ever come across them I'll think of this blog :)

I have that problem too. I can't stop collecting things. My house is just full of cool stuff. I'm a lot like a squirrel.

Thanks for commenting on Nick Haus! I look forward to seeing what you have to say. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking Anonymous comments -- too much spam, too much vituperative. Come out from behind the curtain, ye nasty Anonymous! Everyone else, please, I love to hear from you.
