Winner of "MOST CREATIVE" award
Friends Helping Friends
This year, the JSFC and the ObiObi Japanese craft and volunteer group are sponsoring a decorated tree to benefit Greenwich Historical Society / Festival of Tabletop Trees. Members of the ObiObi group volunteered their creative talents over many weeks to make dozens of handmade ornaments. Each one is upcycled from beautiful kimono obis for a fabulous Japanese themed holiday tree. Thank you to all the volunteers.
Come view our one-of-a kind obi-inspired tree as well as many others in different themes. The trees may be viewed by the public for free in the Greenwich Historical Society’s Museum lobby: December 6 -8 (noon – 4pm) and December 9 (11-7pm), 2023. Bids and purchases benefit the GHS museum. Admission to the galleries and tours are also free on Wednesday.
The JSFC tree, titled "Japanese Holiday", won the award for "MOST CREATIVE" tree! Congratulations to the ObiObi volunteers!
