WW: Christmas Tree at Night of a Thousand Candles

Christmas Tree at Night of a Thousand Candles


"Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall."
- Larry Wilde

If you are anywhere near Brookgreen Gardens (just south of Myrtle Beach, SC) next weekend, you must attend their last Nights of a Thousand Candles event of the 2012 holiday season. The 5,500 hand-lit candles and countless lights are spectacularly sparkly.

    That is amazing! I can't imagine how long that must've taken to string all of those lights!

    Sounds like a really neat festival. One of these days I will find myself on the East Coast.

    I think naked trees wrapped in tiny lights like this is really beautiful. In downtown Knoxville, they have many like this, except they used blue lights and that's nice, too. I snapped a few pictures, but they didn't turn out the best. Yours is a great photo!

    That is so beautiful! I love that quote - our Christmas tree is about a foot tall, but I'm sure it seems bigger to Baby Braddy!

    OMG…that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I can never get enough Christmas lights, but that tree just might do the trick. Wish we had time to make the trip to SC from VA. Since we can't, thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!

One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
