hayfever

it's flower's in the house monday again over at small but charming.  instead of flowers, i have hayfever.  i've never had hayfever before and i hope i never have it again.  i can't even look at a flower, tree or shrub without sneezing.  so while there is a riot going on outside there are no flowers inside.  but i do have these 2 fake topiaries.  i get a few questions about them now and again so this is a good time to answer.  i got these about 4 years ago at pottery barn.  i walked in the store to look at linens and 10 minutes later i walked out with these.  i had never seen them in a catalog or in the store since.  they were pricey, i think $75 each but i loved them.  they are really well made and it appears to be freeze dried moss and real sticks that make up the base.
