Hi to all. Just wanted to show my (as I have before) light sets I found in the attic. My friend Patti and I went to our favorite Christmas show at a primitive house and barn every year and drooled until a bib was needed. The owner had a sweet four foot tall sparse tree (we both purchased) and on it were these lights. Big ass bulbs on a little ass tree. Made no sense until we saw it and promptly found the store and purchased all they had left. At that time, stores were our source, not internet.
I have three boxes never used and one extra. Faceted glass iridescent bulbs that sparkle beautifully. I don't have a tree except for my short and sparse few, not sure what to do. I don't need additional frustration right now and stringing lights has never been pleasant. Aren't they beautiful?
Rachel's house is the 420 which had the most votes, although I would have liked a color. But after manipulating in Paint, I saw what the problem with that would be. Most all of the samplers with a house had the house color repeated elsewhere, border, motif. This would be all alone, a house that doesn't fit into the neighborhood. I am pleased with your choice of 420 but I plan to use something else for the door rather than the dull brown.
Packing today after bill pay and trying to console Carole with thoughts of being able to ride in a car, return to her home, and I am hoping .... we can bring her home for Christmas day. Getting her in and out of the car will be difficult, but we'll manage.
Have a good day folks.

Hi Marly: Oh my they are really bright, we bought lites and they are dull dull dull, I hope you post photos of your tree.
Nice work on Rachel, it looks like you are closing in on the finish.
Merry Christmas
Catherine
Ok...fess up....where, exactly, on Amazon did you find the lights with the brown cord???? I looked and looked and looked last year when my little kitchen tree lights went out after many years of faithful service. And I love the other lights....Wish one could get THOSE somewhere these days too! Yup...420 was the right choice. ~Robin~ Good thoughts go with you on the "journey."
Good thoughts and prayers for Carole.
Love your Christmas bulbs and Rachel will be beautiful when finished!
Take care and hope Carole will be home for Christmas.
Sending lots of prayers and love your way,Truus from Holland
Praying that Carole will be home for Christmas. Hugs coming your way, Marly. Take care.
Cool beans on finding the lights! I hadn't noticed that usually the house color is repeated elsewhere. But I guess it makes sense now that I think of it. Samplers usually seem to be either subdued all over, or colorful all over, rarely spots of color here and there. Of course some of those subdued ones could be aged/faded to those colors.
Good luck to Carole on the surgery. Yes, I too think it would help her if she'd consider what she WILL be able to do again, rather than stuck in bed in a facility, nice as it may be.
Love the lights! Are they still available? I'd like to get some. Good luck to Carol! She's so lucky to have you looking out for her!
Marly, the glass lights are beautiful. Obviously, it’s probably too late to find a tree for this year, but next year a slim tree with just the lights on it, would be so pretty.
I hope all goes well with Carole’s surgery and that she can be home for Christmas Day. Here we have transport services for people in wheelchairs and it’s relatively inexpensive and much safer than trying to move them. Maybe something to look into.
Thinking of you, Carole and your family. Cherie in WI
The lights are beautiful. Continued prayers for you, Carole and family.
Best Wishes for Carol and your trip. Hope all home soon.
