Teresa Barrosso’s most Canadian possession, which sits in her Vanier living room, is also, hands down, her favourite possession. It’s a burl-covered top of a 200-foot B.C. spruce that was felled on the 40-acre hobby farm in Hudson’s Hope, in northern B.C., where she and her family once rehabilitated injured wildlife. When she saw the burl, she fell in love with it, refusing to leave it behind: “I was, like, ‘This is coming with me!’” she said.
