Crafting Time at the BSH begins

Now that Fall is here and garden chores are few and far between the time has come to begin crafting for the Christmas Decorations at the BSH. The idea was proposed that each board member create and decorate a Christmas tree for somewhere in the house. 

This idea is to build a "Mrs. Mary" themed tree. Fine ladies hats and hat boxes, matching ladies shoes, top hats and a hat box for Dr. Thomas Lyles Davis, passports, globes, cameras, etc. all reflect an image of Mrs. Mary as a glamourous world traveler. 

 Plastic containers will form the top of a collection of chiffon hats. Cardboard will provide the brims.

 Small party favor shoes will be spray painted to match the hats and form little ensembles.

 Here is a sneak peek at how these hats are going to look.

 Here is the beginning stages of several different hats. The tall containers with the thinner brims will be gentlemen's top hats.

 Here is a close up - I think these are going to be superb.

 A small fortune has been purchased at various times from our neighboring hobby and craft store.

 Some teacher friends have also donated supplies such as ribbons and laces. There are plenty of possibilities of beautiful things to come. We will keep you posted.
