The Everson Museum Festival of Trees

Every year the Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY holds a fundraiser called "The Festival Trees".

This cute display was by the entrance....

You can view and purchase all of the trees and holiday decorations which are displayed throughout the museum among the art work.

I donated the white tree with hand painted checked ornaments and was happy to see that it sold during the Gala Event the first night!

This tree was made from clear soda and water bottles...

...and the same artist designed this one with green soda bottles:

One of my favorite displays was this simple, elegant branch....

...and this cute Olaf tree!

The tree was made with a chain...

...and a cute idea to back the cookie cutters with a variety of decorative papers:

This unique tree was made from bicycle chains:

The same artist created they wreath from a tire:

This shard tree was made from broken dishes:

Local high school students made "Scrap Art Trees":

This tree was loaded with little sweaters....

...and a cute title:

There were many traditional trees, too:

This was the second tree I donated this year, a simple tree with 2 cardinals, reminding us of those we miss during the holidays:

This annual event is always something I look forward to and all year think about ideas on how I will decorate a tree for next year!
