Christmas 2003

Christmas 2003 was a good year for decorations!

This is a view of the living room from the entryway showing the garland around the vaulted area.  It was Radko Italian angels with balls and drops by Radko as well.Looking from just in front of the mantle to the dining room and the floozy trees which are all Radko Italian ladies.Looking from our entry way down the mantle.  This was all Nativity pieces.  On the mantle are the Radko porcelain Nativity pieces.

 

The Asian tree with a fisheye lens.  It has 1200 amber and red lights on it with a number of small lanterns placed over some of the lights.  This tree has a mixed variety of ornaments on it.This is the bubble tree in the entryway.  The center is filled with water that changes colors.  The ornaments are all Radko Italian animals.Our craft area.  In the back is the Hanukah bush with mostly Radko's on it and a few generic pieces.  The garland going into the craft area had a very nice Mexican tin Nativity set on it.

 

The main tree as photographed by the professionals at night.My version of the main tree with the surrounding garlands.An arrangement that I did this year that I really liked.  It is especially nice at night as the greenery is glittered.
