Try Michaels and Target. I had a few people who have found them thier. I know another who searched online and found how to make her own.

Good Luck!!
 
Here is another idea for a booking tree... take the foam that you use for artificial flowers, and use plastic envelope picks (I got them at a party store for 10 cents each, and then use to put your specials in and dates you want to book. I have some different vaces, and some pink artifical carnations I may add to it as well. Inexpensive.
 
I found some of the "photo holders" last year at a dollar tree where I live and they are flowers...I was going to use them in my DD room but they just never got put in there and are still on my scrapbooking counter so I think I will use them for this...since they are flower and that is very spring...I'm excited about this idea because I have been using the eggs for March but wasn't sure what I was going to do for my shows after Easter...I bought these flower photo holders last year around this time so you might be able to find them again this year too.

FINALLY - I found an adorable "booking tree" frame - in the shape of a flower at TARGET this week (in the picture frame section) for $9.99. Hopefully - this will help those who are "on the hunt."

I am going to Target next week I will have to look.

I bought a cute pot and some of that floral styrofoam. Bed, Bath & Beyond has some pic frames on sticks like flowers that I thought about putting in it to make a flower bouquet with but I am afraid they are not big enough.

I will have to check this one out and see which I like best. They are both the same price.
