Like so many couples, initials or names carved in a tree have proclaimed an enduring love for all the world to see. Often, these testimonials were encased in a carved heart on a tree in a public park or in someone's back yard. Usually forgotten, a visit back to the tree rekindled thoughts of a romance as simple and pure as the day it was carved. Now, carving your message on someone else's tree can result in a hefty fine.
These were my thoughts as I carved my name above my wife's on our family land. I realized not everyone was fortunate enough to own their own trees and therefore could not legally proclaim their love in one of the most basic and romantic fashions. I took a picture of the heart on the tree, framed it, gave it to my wife and before I knew it, I was filling orders for family and friends. More importantly, we had a unique gift option for a seemingly unending barrage of wedding, engagement, graduation, and birthday announcements. How many candlesticks and fondue sets do people really need?
As we developed this idea, the frames became nicer, the pictures became clearer, and we were able to put multiple hearts on trees to ensure a continued supply of carvings without running out of trees. In addition to the popular hearts, we added a cake for birthdays, a house for housewarmings or weddings, and a design resembling a headstone to memorialize deceased loved ones.
Now we have a web site to promote Trees Be Mine and we have the same level of attention to detail and pride in our creation that we did from the beginning. We also wanted to provide these carvings at a price that won't break the bank. Each carving is guaranteed. If you are unhappy with your carving for any reason, simply return it to us within 30 days and we will refund your money including shipping. In addition, our lines of communication are always open via e-mail and we welcome your thoughts and suggestions. It is our desire to provide a one of a kind product that is distinctive and timeless. We do our carving on the weekends so please allow 2-3 weeks for your order to be carved and shipped.
