This tree is set up in no time. I took some white or cream, mercury glass and silver ornaments from my old tree to add to my own handmade lace ornaments. The lace stands out well and I enjoy remembering making the lace.
This pencil pine was the perfect tree for the antique tree stand I found at a flea market in Germany when on vacation a year ago.
I do miss my big tree but am glad that I have a tree that is set up in about an hour instead of two days. As I write to you, I am looking at the glowing lights in my tree this evening which make my lace really stand out and am happy with the changes this year.
I find the words of Norman Vincent Peale ring true...
"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful."

You tree looks very nice. The lace really does show up on the black tree. I remember thinking WHAT when you said you wanted a black tree. It is really nice. That tree stand
is so pretty too.
Love you, Mom
Your tree is very pretty and I really love that antique tree stand. You are very talented and patient to be able to make lace, I've never tried because when I've watched it being done it's obvious that it takes a long time and a great deal of skill. So I shall just admiore yours:)
That lace piece is wonderful!
I've never heard of a pencil pine tree or a black tree, but it really works for the lace which is beautiful. I've never tried making lace is it difficult? That tree stand is amazing. I've doing a smaller tree too, but not that small. The big tree was just getting to be too much for me. Another great idea from you. Thanks.
Your lace ornaments are truly beautiful.
Prachtige boom en versiering Heidi. Die standaard past er perfect bij.
Lieve groet
"....everything is softer and more beautiful"... particurlarly in your home, Heidi !
I have a small tree as well Heidi and I love it. It is so much easier to put up and take down. Since I live in a tiny home, I have to save space where I can! I love your tree and lace. Very pretty!!
Your lace ornaments are amazing - I've never seen anything like them! You should set up an etsy shop and sell some of your gorgeous handiwork. :-)
And that tree stand is honestly the prettiest tree stand I've ever seen. You'd never see something like that in the US. Merry Christmas to you and Jos!
The tree - the stand - the lace ornaments - gorgeous!
