For a couple of weeks each year, Green Hills parish gets into entrepreneurial mode as thousands of palm crosses are made and sold to (church) schools and other parishes throughout Australia ready for Palm Sunday Services. We raise a few thousand dollars this way; all very nice.
Working bees to strip the fronds from the palm branches and then cut the strips into lengths are always social occasions...
Then most parishioners take bags of cut strips home and then start folding...
One of my bundles...
And Easter approaching means a change of display in the hutch here at our place...
Blue Willow, out! ( for a while it's back in the cupboard not literally 'out'! 😉)
The boxes of stored Easter items...
And now already for Easter...the little wooden Easter banner is still to be put up, but I need DH's help with that.
Many of the items were from Easter Swaps I joined in previous years...and a win a few years ago in an Easter Raffle at Sunday Stitchers...all lovely memories and loved items. Children who visit love it! ( so do I! Lol)

Those crosses look lovely, must have taken a bit to get them so perfect! Your Easter goodies look lovely!
I love your Easter display. It's fun to change things up and have something seasonal is festive. You have quite a collection of cute Easter bunnies for the occasion!
Palm Sunday is one of my favorite celebrations in our church.
The Tridium always fills me with hope.
God bless.
There'll soon be little girls itching to get their hands on your lovely Easter rabbit collection Maria. Your hutch looks lovely. I always enjoy seeing your Palm Sunday post, and everyone gathered to make crosses.
I remember that you have posted before about how your church parishioners gather to make the crosses from palms. Your Easter display is lovely.
xx, Carol
