Halloween Ghost New Bonsai Nursery in Melbourne!

My wife and I were shopping for new pillows yesterday and came across a new Bonsai Nursery here in Melbourne. Surprisingly, it was a local furniture store called Harvey Norman's. They only stock one bonsai, but it is such a gorgeous tree! The price tag on this was AUS$185.

cheers,

Shane

P.S. Sorry 'bout the quality of the photo - it was taken from a mobile phone, and IR'd to the laptop.
P.P.S. The gag is - this tree is plastic. Now imagine who would buy such an item and have a good laugh.

Oh, I don't know, I think it's kinda cool. But does it have fiber optic lights?

There are worse accessories sold at furniture stores. Do you have those wooden cutouts of "butlers" that hold their arm out with a tray? How about leather covered giraffes? Or a big fake gold wall fountain with plastic foliage? Fake "books" that are actually boxes to stash things in?

Maybe they have more good taste in the furniture stores of Oz.
