Until recently, I had not heard of the World Tree of Hope in San Francisco City Hall.
People “from world leaders to school children” have contributed their wishes for a better world via paper cranes that now decorate the tree.
You can make a wish for free and be part of this lovely project.
I would love to make a miniature version of this to adorn with the wishes of (or my good wishes for) my friends and loved ones. I could also see myself having all wishes written on candy, to be eaten up in good cheer during a holiday gathering!
Here are some past World Trees of Hope…

Oh my…you are onto something. What an incredible idea!
Yes, I’ve grown very attached to the idea of making my own next year! I’ll put out a call for wishes here in blogland so those of you who are awesome enough to read and comment get to be part of the project!
This is lovely! Mixing it up with sweets, eating and good cheer… well, I don’t know if there’s anything in the world that can’t be improved with sweets, eating and good cheer!
I think next year I’m going to make a mini version, which will include the good wishes of/for my friends far away. You shall be represented! I’ll make an ornament of your favorite crazy creature to write the wish on. 😉
How lovely! What a great idea to have such a tree! I may have to do something of the sort next year as well.
I’m considering one of those mini evergreen trees as a table centerpiece for this purpose…I hope my friends and loved ones are into the idea so the tree can get nice and full!
I can’t wait to get the children in the bed so I can read your guest post! You’ve been such an instirapion during the ups and downs of my querying. Thanks for updating us on your hubby! Glad things are getting back to normal for you all. Have a great evening! Tory
