I love yours! My BF would also approve; he’s a big Trek fan.
All those Patricia Breen numbers are well over $200.
I grabbed the ladder (its legs are green, anyway), stuck it in the living room near the bay windows, draped it w/a string of white LED lights with faceted “strawberry” covers, managed to put up the little pressed tin angel, then put some of our figurines on it. I’ll post a pic if my honey’s phone email ever sends it.
That sounds charming as hell, actually. Good for you for finding ways to make the home festive.
And yikes… $200 is a lot. Not sure I’d buy one for that price, I’d be freaked out the cats would knock the tree over and it would die the death of shatterings.
I wouldn’t spend that on a tree topper even were I obscenely rich.
Were I rich, I’d consider paying more than $30-$35 (that’s what ours cost), but only for one exactly like our now-retired 1970s one. It looked like these:
The 70s thin pressed tin angel is silver, bright gold, and psychedelic pink and blue. She dances whenever the heat comes on, turning this way and that. She did that on our actual tree two yrs ago, and I hated to put her away. Instead I put her up on the wire baker’s rack in the kitchen, where she dances whenever the heat comes on, turning this way and that
The Anubis statue was a gift from our IRL pal Keith.
The weeping angel from Doctor Who is my BF’s.
The Godzilla-esque chap on the L came directly from Japan, where a friend bought it for my BF. He wondered if it came from a movie or tv show, and Little Audrey said there was no info with it where she bought it. Lo and behold, the first Ultra Man episode either of us had watched since the 70s - on yout00b - featured the very same beastie as the villain!
ETA:
You can tell we’ve got a green porch light bulb if you look at the window, next to Anubis It’s staying on all day b/c Christmas.
