Went Junking!

Hey everyone! I hit a flea market Saturday morning, temps were in the low 60's and it was beautiful out!
I didn't get much but just had to have this string of fun lights!
I love the colored tinsel around the bulbs! I don't know how old they are but the bulbs aren't the standard push-in type we all know, they actually have two prongs that get pushed into the holder! I got this string, and a plain string with the same bulbs (for replacements!) for $1.

I really thought the colors would be fun for my Halloween tree! Of course the wire is green, not white, and I'm sure you know how hard it is to add a string of lights after the tree is set up... But, I'm enjoying them!

Have a happy day:@)

    I love your lights just full of cuteness!! :))

    When all the Halloween stuff goes on sale after the holiday, I am going to buy some things to make a HALLOWEEN TREE for next year. Thanks to you for the cute inspiration. I saw one today that is cute, too..small tree branches, sprayed black with orange lights and cute little decorations....

    A Halloween tree? Okay? I am sensing a takeover in decorating. I see Easter egg trees, Christmas trees and now Halloween trees already.
    What next? Valentine tree, Thanksgiving tree. Oh I get the feeling you are already planning those too.
    What fun.

    I love your Halloween tree. I think I might have to find one also and do it up for the grandchildren. Your lights are perfect and you are right, the tinsel adds movement and color. Char
