It’s Thursday afternoon and we have gathered together in the Church to decorate our WI Christmas tree for the Festival this weekend. Our tree is a most attractive and well-shaped four-foot tree, with roots, standing in its own pot, in the far left-hand corner of the St. Mary’s. It’s a cold corner but, undaunted by this fact and warmed by the fellowship of our WI companions, plus warm overcoats, we get down to the task of dressing our tree with Caroline’s white tree lights and our amazing collection of beautifully made, glittering and beribboned salt dough angels, Christmas trees, stars, snowmen, deer and parcels.
In less than two hours our work is done and we are gazing at our gloriously dressed and decorated Christmas tree and feeling rather pleased with our efforts, thankful to all those members who produced our salt dough figures.
Well done Ladies. Let’s see what ideas we can come up with for next year’s tree dressing Festival for it seems highly likely that there will be another opportunity for the creative spirit to fly high in 2015.
We had great fun with our tree dressing and here’s a few photos from Chris Schafe’s camera for you to see for yourselves….
