I love doing themed trees and villages...
Normally these houses would be seen with my three foot tall tinsel silver tree--but Paris this year made me a little maudlin--and I couldn't bear to bring out the tree, opting instead for resin trees I found at an after-Christmas sale at Kohl's one year. I'll try to get a shot later with all this lit, including Karl Fey's blue castle--they're making battery operated LEDs now on ultra-thin wire and I was able to discreetly thread them unseen through a lower window. I highly recommend these lights if you have a space without a plug. The lamppost was found at Home Depot for a song and lights as well. By the way, the blue castle by Fey is a repro--albeit in a custom color scheme I wanted--of a very early 30's putz. I've pulled out another pix for you to see from the archives and posted it as well.
