Ok…so maybe it isn’t trash per se…but over at Nettleton Hollow they are offering up three ’seconds’ of their sandblasted manzanita branches for $43.50. While I was unwilling to pay $60 for three of the branches when I visited the site a few months back, somehow, $43.50 didn’t seem like it was that bad for branches that, according to the site, have fewer lateral branches than the regulars.
So without further ado…I give to you our guestbook wish tree…(although the vessel itself may change to something a bit more galvanized pail-like.)
Turns out our kitty, JP, thinks it was a good deal too.
mmmmmm…manzanita…yummmmm

Cool branches! Adorable kitty. Awesome floor!
i’ve seen something like this at a restaurant before, except there the whole branch is painted coral. it’s really gorgeous.
Love the branches..
Kitty is TOO CUTE.
Thanks…JP is currently lounging on the sofa taking full advantage of her newfound celeb status 
Miss Corn, would you mind letting us know how tall those branches are? I’m using manzanita for my centerpieces and am wondering what size to order. I know the website says 18″ - 24″, but that’s a pretty big range!
CUTE KITTY!!
Hi sloe-eyed,
I measured the three pieces this morning. They are 22, 23 and 24 inches respectively. I measured them with a straight edge and marked the tallest point as they were standing upright. Measuring them by contour would probably create a longer measurement. Also, in the vessle, they ’slouch’ a bit because they don’t stand directly upwards, so if you were to use these in an arrangement, they wouldn’t stand 22 - 24 inches from the table.
Hopefully that made sense.

Not a cat lover, but that one is mighty cute!!!
