Christmas Trees at Teacup Lane

Family Room

Our Christmas trees are all decorated here at Teacup Lane.  

All our gifts are wrapped except for the ones being shipped (love shopping on-line).

If you remember in the past two years we gave our large Christmas tree to one of our nieces and bought some cheap slim trees at Target.  The large tree was getting too heavy for us to drag up out of our basement.  

Our old large tree had red berry lights with white lights which we just loved.  This year we found red and white berry LED lights at Target so we bought two strands each for our Christmas tree in the family room.

Mantel in Family Room

The mantel is still a work in progress here in this photo but it shows the two new stuffed snowmen I bought at our local Christmas craft fair this year. 

Family Room

I've been experimenting with our Canon cameras ~ trying to learn the features to take better decent photos in low light.  


Living Room

We put colored lights on our Christmas tree in our living room.  

I love colored lights because it brings back memories of my childhood Christmas trees.  

Family Room

Our fire is all aglow in our fireplace and nicely shows off our mantel all finished with red and white candy cane lights and white garland trim.  

Next to the windows is a snowman tree topper that I placed in some fake greenery.  

All the way to the right is a vintage lighted Santa figure.

This weekend I will be busy baking our Christmas cookies.

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you enjoyed viewing our Christmas trees.

  10. Incredible post..I appreciate to you for this colourful post...led lights for surface use are available in white to allow for the most visibility, a necessary attribute for providing the brightest light to dark and unlit areas.
