Dress Rehearsal for Trees

A few of us got together and decorated two trees for local non-profit fund raisers. I was hoping to win the larger of the two, but I didn't.

Decorations on the the larger, pre-lit 3 foot tree, include:
two sizes of pine cones, artificial berries, cinnamon sticks tied with a red bow, birds' nests, cardinals, multicolored sparrows, mittens, red berry wreath at the top, and three Christmas books tied with a ribbon. The skirt will be a white cloud thingy.
Its name is, Heaven and Nature Sing.










The smaller, 18 inch tree, without lights, includes:
Canadian hemlock cones, dried white Chinese lanterns, lots of wired artificial berries, cardinals, birds' nests, a red ribbon garland, some holiday notecards and a date planner tied with a ribbon. The base is wrapped in red plaid fabric.
It's name is, "Silent Night" - unless we change it.

P.S. We love glue guns. Next year - seashells.
