I’ve noticed that developers are fond of ribbons. They lean strongly toward pink, orange and yellow and the fabric choices tend toward vinyl. It occurred to me that most trees look better in something a bit softer and more natural. Hence the Long Lake Imperiled Forest Ribbon Campaign.
I’ve started things off with a delicate soft yellow number that drapes beautifully and accentuates Molly’s leggy beauty. I’ve also included a note from Molly (our Douglas fir model) to the developer and potential homeowners. I invite anyone interested to send along a ribbon and note for some of the hundreds of trees living in the Imperilled Forest. For those who live nearby, I encourage you to come on down, take a tour, and tie your own ribbon. (The Imperiled Forest is across from Rutherford Mall. You’ll know it from the Seven Valley’s Development sign at the entrance.)
Ribbons can be sent to: #808-680 Clarkson St., New Westminster, BC, Canada, V3M 6X9
All contestants in Project Runway are cordially invited to send tree fashions (I love you, Austin!), as are knitters who like trees (I’m talking about all ya’ll at Knittaplease!)
Dear developer…
See, now isn’t that much more attractive than the pink plastic variety?
If you want to send along a ribbon on this magnificent fellow’s behalf, it will need to be many feet long!
