Here is a quick video snippet of Swirly Shirley’s wreath entry to the 2022 Maryland Festival of Trees #FOTMD #PaperFlowers #ChristmasWreath

“I’m Dreaming of a PINK Christmas” 😊 Introducing Swirly Shirley’s entry to the 2022 Maryland Festival of Trees! Our lovely shabby-chic inspired design features a gorgeous variety of pink & white hand-crafted Swirly Shirley paper flowers. Delicate origami Lilies and Kusudama blossoms, set with pearl & faux gem centers, are showcased on the entry. Snow white Hydrangea blossoms and delicate Daisies nestled among the evergreen branches, are accented by elegant rose gold, sparkling silver, and champagne glitter ornaments. Gracefully-draped garland, cinnamon-spiced pinecones, dainty sprigs of pink Amaranthus, and softly-glowing holiday lights complete the unique design, with sparkling stars and fluffy snowball ornaments adding a whimsical touch! Swirly Shirley is very pleased and proud to be a part of this traditional annual event that brings such joy to the public with this holiday fundraiser that benefits the deserving kids at #KennedyKrieger [Ribbons are given to winners of each category by the Judging Panel, and the trees and wreaths are auctioned off as a fundraising event.] MD Festival of Trees runs Friday 11/25 - Sunday 11/27, so come on out and see Swirly Shirley’s one-of-a-kind tree and wreath! #FOTMD
