Ceramic Tree

I'm on a hunt for this...



Well not EXACTLY this, but a little similar. You may think, eeeewwww, why would she want something like that?" As a matter of fact, I am looking for a tree like this one, that is solid white with colored bulbs or birds, and a yellow-goldish colored star at the top. Why? Oh, you guys know me, "Mrs. Old-fashioned, nostalgic, full of memories momma's" grandmother used to house one in her den every Christmas, and I am dying to have one JUST like it! That little old tree that used to sit on a round table in front of my grandparent's sliding-glass door kept me company every Christmas Eve as I slept on the couch waiting for Santa. I can still hear the clock ticking, the gas stove in the bedroom and see the fogged up window with the security light shining through it as I am lying there on the couch, unable to fall asleep and staring at that tree! I want! I want! I want!!! hehe So, I am on the lookout. If any one can help locate someone who makes them, I would be very appreciative! Oh, and it just occured to me that I now have a one year old and that I must get some colored C9 bulbs for my tree this year....it is a must! I love memories! Next on my list: bubble lights to keep my Radkos company.

When my grandmother passed away, there were 2 things I wanted...her tea pitcher and her ceramic christmas tree, which I display proudly every year!

I understand the longing :) The big, old-fashioned bulbs in my grandmother's trees outside (I really can't find them like this anymore) still hold fond memories that make me feel warm and fuzzy :)
