I like the way you coordinated even the colors of the tops of the fence posts.<br /><br />Just so you know...American's often mislabel these as "Windmills" or "carousels" because they turn. Dig a little deeper and you will find that these originate in the Ore Mountains of Saxony, Germany and are known as <b>Weihnachts Pyramiden</b> in German, or <b>Christmas Pyramids</b>. They can also be referred to as Candle pyramids as well. They typically come natural or hand-painted in colors. Only a handful of makers in the Erzgebirge region (Ore Mountains) still produce these.<br /><br />These original German versions are much more refined that the Asian product that you started with. KWO, Ulbricht, Blank, Flath all still produce these, but the most well known maker is Ringo Mueller who appeared on the Martha Stewart Christmas special a few years ago.<br /><br />Check these to see more: <b><a href="http://www.theframeworkshop.com/store.cfm?SubCatID=7&view=140" rel="nofollow">German Christmas Pyramids</a></b><br /><br />Enjoyed your blog and your creative endeavor!
