Whew! Was 2009 supposed to go that fast? I introduced lighted ceramic Christmas trees to
Dark Horse Store on Etsy in mid-November and everything is a blur from there!!! Many, many thanks to all of our new customers that shopped with us for the season and I am thrilled that you all loved the classic ceramic trees that I lovingly created. I personally have very fond memories of the classic ceramic Christmas trees that were around back in the day and so I set out to create a miniaturized version that anyone could enjoy - I think it worked out very well although I worked around the clock (no kidding) to make all of the trees that we sent out in time for Christmas. A few pictures below just to give you a glimpse. Over 40 little lights on each tree, powered by a 5 watt night-light type bulb.
Here's a sneak peek for 2010 ---- I just couldn't resist creating even larger trees for this year :) Soooo, watch in the next month or maybe two...I am creating new ceramic trees that will stand over 1 foot tall, include a wonderful base adorned with holly, and, well.... you will just have to tune back in to find out, but I promise you will see some beautiful, classic ceramic trees made from vintage molds, but updated for a "green" approach ;)
Here are some single trees that I created to give everyone a good selection to choose from:
