I have been lusting over Cocoon Couture's Enchanted Forest Tree for months. It's so darn sweet and I'd love to put it in my daughter's nursery. It would fit right in with all the other birds and owls she has and adores.
The tree is made from environmentally friendly plywood and it's finished with non-toxic varnish. The leaf designs are silk screened (and inspired by vintage wallpaper).
So what's the problem? It costs about $500! Five hundred. There's no way I could ever spend that much on such a frivilous thing. I'll bet Suri Cruise has one in her room—heck, she probably has a whole forest.
It does look like something that some creative type could probably make on their own—but sculpting wood is not one of my talents. My poor baby will have to grow up with only the real trees outside her window to gaze upon. Still, I have the page bookmarked and I gaze at it longingly every so often, in the hope that it will go on extreme sale. Or in the event that I win the lottery.
What would you buy for your baby if you had oodles of money?

Everything, lol. All the little things I see while out shopping that I know my child (and me) hae no use for but t's so cute I just "haaaaaave" to have it. I would have her room redone and buy the rest of the matching furniture that goes with her lifetime crib.
Id go ape pretty much....
College
A luxury playhouse. Actually they would have a whole town of playhouses, a couple of houses, a school, a general store, a firehouse, etc.
A college fund...
Then new cloth diapers....
A decent, devoted father figure - oh and a college fund
I would buy a house to give them decent sized rooms to live in!
A house to call our own, a decent car to drive him around in (you know, one that doesn't leak on the seats when its raining, starts all the time including the winter months, and doesnt moan and clack down the street), a college fund, higher life insurance, and anything else he wanted..... LOL, I guess I went overboard!
Money no object? I'd start with a house with more than four rooms in it, then segue right to the Sinking Pirate Ship play structure I once saw that cost $138,000. It was awesome.
Ginormous college fund, dental insurance and plane tickets to see her grandparents frequently (even though that means I have to spend time with the inlaws).
A new, bigger bedroom! Can I buy a second for our 2nd child that we will TTC soon? And funds for both of them to attend the awesome Christian school here and college as well. Oh, can I change my bigger bedroom to a new house with FLAT land? I get so tired of living on the side of a hill.
