I really love bottle brush trees. The good old ones. I try to find them whenever I can.
This season it seems I am obsessed with all kinds of trees. Here are just a few to enjoy.
This fabric panel I got at Ikea is so realistic looking. It's beautiful.
These little "tomato cages" make a nice simple tree. I don't know what their real purpose in life was but as soon as I saw them I saw a tree. There are 5 stacked up here but I will separate them and I made a star for each one.
I remember these little trees from my childhood and I have always liked them. I also have Gurley candles for all the holidays. They are easy to find at antique shows and shops.
A friend gave me a tree similiar to this a few years ago. I made up quite a few for our bazaar. The spool trunks go well with the button and lace decorations.
Book pages over craft store cones. They looked a little plain until I figured out a star for the top. I bought a star punch and that did the trick.
Last year these were in the christmas department at work. They look more like the real thing than the cheap ones in the village section. I bought all of ours and as I went to stores in Pendleton and Wood Village I got all they had too. We never get in enough of the good things so if you see something you like, snatch it up.
And finally my funnel trees. I first saw this idea two years ago so my hunt for funnels was on. Last year I had two sitting on my counter during the holiday. Mom and I have been collecting funnels so we can both have some of these unusual trees.
