Romance and holiday lighting

First, I’d like to say that your reaction to yesterday’s post surprised the heck out of me. I had no idea when I wrote the story about the strange-but-true Christmas tree whether or not it would look CRAZY to others.

My husband does some really sweet things sometimes and he didn't seem too surprised when I told him I’d written about the tree and the few photos I’d posted. He was surprised, however, that most people found it romantic. You see, he doesn’t even know he’s being romantic. He just knew I wanted a tree.

Which makes it even better, of course.

A few people have written asking me where I purchased the lights that I posted [here]. I’m also including a few more photos of them.

I bought these beautiful light strings online from Smith & Hawken more than 5 years ago. I bought the string of large globes first and the following year, I purchased the smaller strand. Smith & Hawken doesn’t sell either of these anymore, and in fact their website is not even available, which surprised me. I did find some interesting Smith & Hawken light sets on Ebay, however. So if you’re really interested in finding them, you could check there.

I love white lights. Especially when they’re rather unique.

I love having you visit, too. What kind of holiday lighting do you prefer?

Until tomorrow, my friends . . .
