Sparkle and Shine in Manitowoc, Wisconsin

 Greetings Blog Friends,

A few nights ago, Denis and I took a drive to the shore of Lake Michigan to the city of Manitowoc, to take in the sights of Evergleams on Eighth.  It was a clear day and a mild evening (about 40 degrees), perfect for a walk on downtown streets.  On display in storefront windows, we found many examples of Evergleam aluminum Christmas trees.  These trees were made in Manitowoc in the 1950s and 1960s.  Our favorite was one decorated with vintage ornaments.  Some of the store windows were beautifully decorated, too. 

 

We have decided that we, too, want one of these unique trees in our own home.  We already have the vintage ornaments, now we just need a silver tree to hang them on!  We'll be on the hunt this coming year for a tree and color wheel.

Merry Christmas!
