The Pair Tree - everything was hung in pairs (but just one pair of scissors hee hee)
Trigonom-e-tree - card shapes decorated by the little ones at nursery
Local Dignitrees - this was the Parish Councils entry with plenty of photos
Knitivitry - this lady knits such gorgeous little ornaments every year
As you know I stitch ornaments for my tree every year and a few of my stitching friends very kindly send ornaments too. You can see them in my recent posts - thanks everyone.
This year my tree was Winter Wonderland and I really am delighted in how it looked amongst all the other amazing trees in church with lights everywhere. The smell in church is amazing as all 60 trees are real - all in all a wondrous Christmas sight.

The money raised this year is going to church funds with 20% being donated to Nuneaton's main hospice - Mary Ann Evans. Huge cheers for everyone involved - thinking cps on for 2018 !
They all look fabulous Clare
ReplyDeleteA great selection of trees, Clare. I wish our church did something like this.
ReplyDeleteThe church looks magnificent, so bright and colourful. Lots of great ideas again this year.
ReplyDeleteTea Tree - not the oil but teacups and teapots?
I love Julie's idea! The trees look so beautiful Clare. Thanks for sharing your photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone - there is always a Tea Tree full of cups, teabags, spoons, little sugar packets - very clever. It is done by the village social group. It is getting harder and harder to think of new themes as the festival has been going over 8 years - the dentist always does 'dentistry' full of mini toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and cut outs of teeth hee hee
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the photos. Your tree does look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful idea for a church festival and look forward to next year's theme.
