Somewhere, somehow I started a small collection of bottle brush trees, "aren't they sweet?" "look they're featured in Mary Englelbreit's Home Companion" "don't they look cute in a group?" ....and so it began.....
" look I found one on ebay
"look I found one at the flea",
" oh my found this one at good will", "hey there's wreaths too?",
"wow I bought 12 today","I can stop really, I can go a whole week without searching for them",
"gosh I better get another tote for them"
"I spent the whole day today looking for bottle brush trees on ebay, forgot to take a shower, feed the kids, get them dressed",
"Holy crap I have how many?"
" I know I can get in and out of the flea before work, I'm only looking for trees",
" What I have how many?"
"I'll do anything just get me another tree", "I need another tote!"
......get the picture? I guess what they say is true...sometime it only takes one...

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post!! I love all of your trees. While I was reading your post I was thinking "that sounds a lot like me" (not for trees but for other vintage goodness!) There is something about the thrill of the hunt.

Very brave of you to admit to such a serious addiction! You've got a great collection. I've only got a few, which were bought when they were very cheap. Love the bottlebrush wreath too. I've got several of those, and it's an addiction in the making for me!
ReplyDeleteHappy VCM!

Hi Beth, I too am a bottle brush tree addict! You just cannot have too many of these little treasures! Yours are wonderful! Bisous... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteFor some reason this has become the year that I am crazy over bottle brush trees. It all started with a little pink one that I bought at Hobby Lobby and then another at a little antique shop, then another, and another....well, you know. Then I graduated to bottle brush wreaths.....somebody help me!
ReplyDeleteI love your collection. Mine will never get that big....you hear me....never!

I ;have the same addiction. They are irresistable. You have a great collection. I only have a few real vintage ones. the rest are new made to look old. It gets harder to come by them I find.
