My Sister Clootie Tree

A fiber friend of mine is creating a Clootie Tree-- a wish tree, and I thought it was such a great idea that I'd do one in my yard, also... a sister tree to Aileen's in Scotland.  I am making ribbons for hers, and she is making ribbons for mine.  My Clootie Tree will be in my front yard, near a sidewalk.  I'm hoping that pedestrians will catch the idea and make ribbons for it, also.

If you'd like to make a ribbon, please email me!

A Wish Tree is an individual tree, usually distinguished by species, position or appearance, which is used as an object of wishes and offerings. Such trees are identified as possessing a special religious or spiritual value. By tradition, believers make votive offerings in order to gain fulfillment of a wish.
