#feztival of trees

[johnthestitcher]

FEZtival of Trees sponsored by the Melha Shriners of West Springfield, MA. Fundraiser/raffle. I am next to the 'Tool Tree' made with a 6-foot step ladder and decorated with tools. Bf is in front of a Santa inflatable decked out with beachwear. There are 40 differently themed trees this year; Bf & I usually put our raffle tickets in ones that have free booze with them (I don't need a tree full of toys).

Elizabeth I  from  Fancy Gloss  via  November’s Polish Pickup.    This is a thermal.  Top right  pic  is  the warm mode, a burnt orange with brown flakies  (indoors at the local Feztival of Trees) , on the right  you can see “cold mode”, dark brown with auburn flakies  (out on the street doing Christmas errands).  Bottom pic  is the polish moving between shades  (in my bathroom).   You’ve seen the warm mode in photos  on my previous post about the  Cargo palette.

So,  I enjoyed this polish.  I like  Elizabeth I and it’s a  great seasonal color. 

But I just learned  thermal polishes have about a 12 month shelf life before they get stuck in one mode or the other.  So I need to make sure my thermals are stored correctly.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Dozens of dazzling Christmas trees decked out with holiday season ornaments are attracting a crowd at the Melha Shrine Center in Springfield.

It’s the seventh annual “Feztival” of trees.

Sixty-three trees to be exact that the public can enjoy through December 2. The money raised from visitors helps support the projects that the Shriners sustain in western Massachusetts.

“The money we raise here goes to the Melha Shriners to continue the good work that we do, to support Shiners Hospital in Springfield,” Bill Faust told 22News.

And on the final day of “Feztival,” December 2, the Melha Shriners will raffle off each of the 63 decorated Christmas trees.
