Makes me think of old fashioned Christmas tree lights ... :o)

There are lots of this type to be had. They belong to a group called Encilandra. I had several of them at one time but only this one now.

You're right Shirley, I wondered what they reminded me of.

So am I :)
but our lights had big bulbs that you had to screw in, and big shades on them too. I've still got the shades lol :D

Do you use them each Christmas, Hywel?

I've only got the shades, but not the lights.
I put them in a row along the mantlepiece ... they have nursery rhyme pictures on them in all different colours :)
(I'm silly and sentimantal lol)

So, what are you going to do with them Hywel?

31 Aug, 2016

 

I put them on the mantlepiece every year at Christmas time :)
I don't believe in throwing things away for no reason.
