birthday tree

A few weeks ago I picked up a copy of Better Homes and Gardens May issue.  On page 78 there was a photo of a child’s playroom with a crazy beautiful tree toy on a shelf.  It looked like a tree that needed to be in our family room, but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it was.  So, I took a photo of the magazine page, posted it to flickr, and asked the internet to help me.

It worked!  It’s called a Totem Tree by Kids On Roof.  I decided to treat myself to one for my birthday and it came today, a day late, but that’s fun because it stretched the celebrating out a bit.

The boys and I put it together tonight while Barry took pictures of us with the new lens he got me for my camera.

Now, doesn’t it look like it should have been there all along?

voila!

  1. How where you able to buy from this site? I can’t get it to work for me USA not an option..sigh

  2. Cindy-
    If you google totem tree you’ll find all sorts of US dealers. Amazon had it as did many toy stores. I just searched until I found the cheapest place, which I think was a museum store.
    Good luck!

  3. That definitely looks like it belongs in your house! In fact it looks like you could have designed it. It love the books the kids are making too!
