I have 2 small trees which are superfluous to our needs, and 2 strings of lights. Each tree has a little angel, you are welcome to have those too, if you like.

Trees:
Each tree is about 30cm wide and 47cm tall.

The lights:
I'm not sure of their length, but the one is very long and can be used inside and outdoors.

The other is shorter and can only be used inside.

Some of the bulbs are not working, I don't think they're broken - just loose and need tightening.

I have taken them on my kitchen bench to give you some perspective.

Collection is from Red Beach.
Let me know what you would like.
Merry Christmas
