Mary's Gone Wild - Tree House Art

Folk artist Mary has created a childhood wonderland along the Carolina Coast. Her site boasts thousands of trinkets formed into multiple tree houses. Mary has a folk art studio in the back, and her work is seen around the world. Go for the antiques, stay for the wonderland. Mary doesn't charge admission, but sends any and all donations to feed the children.
