    I have never seen anything like that. Amazing. They must be glorious at night.
    The practical part of me thinks they must be bears to install but worth it.
    Thank you so much for stopping by.

    Hello Merisi! I've been so busy, it took a few days to make it over here to visit. That was funny that you posted a photo of the tinsel, just after I'd mentioned it. Yes, that's exactly the type of tinsel I was thinking about! Lametta is the name in Austria...how interesting that the same tinsel is used all over the world. Is it still popular there? It is not commonly used anymore in the US. The photos on your blog are lovely!
