| Just Plain Folk has plastic trees that look pretty good, $9 for the small ones, $15 for the larger ones. The small ones are fine.

| First off George, I have been an admirer of your layout and site for many years!
Second - those trees look good!
Third - HELP! I've been trying to Google Just Plain Folk, and have ended up with 15,000,000 sites than aren't even close! | |

| I have had the best luck with artificial pine/spruces from Hobby Lobby. They are only available during the pre-Christmas season. The best come in two sizes: 12" and 15". Cost is $5.99 and $9.99, less on sale prices.
Although the trees have some gold glitter on them, much of it can be rubbed off or weathered [outside or with green paint].
Hobby Lobby also will have [on clearance] trees similiar to the ones shown in Dawinter's third picture for as little as $.1.25.
Just Plain Folks has some wonderful artificial trees and shrubs [although more expensive than the above].
