Christmas Print

A couple of weeks ago I was taken by a print in Hobby Lobby. Now, usually, decorating pieces don't do great things for me, but this was different. I thought it was a beautiful Christmas print and the framing was just as beautiful. It was half price. Mike came to look at it and he agreed, so we bought it and agreed to give it to each other for our birthdays.

We brought it home and hung it up on the stone chimney. The size is perfect. However - this is a dark room, and the beauty was lost in the dimness. There really wasn't any other wall where it would look right. So Mike looked into those little lamps that hang over a picture. On eBay they were about $60. More than the picture itself! He checked at lighting places here in town. They'd have to order them. He called Home Depot. $15. Getting more in what we wanted to spend. So he tried Lowe's - $15 there also, but they had several on clearance - for $1.65! Not bad!

I tried to take a photo of the print and the Christmas tree together, but it didn't turn out nearly as well as the photo of just the print. But I'll post this one also.

Hi, Looks like a nice tree , and the print is beautiful , But I think you need a mantle below the print with some decoration on each side would set it all off. That's a lovely rock fireplace you have. Merry Christmas with Blessings.
