DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am looking to find white bulbs for ceramic Christmas trees. Thank you.—No name, no town.

ANSWER: Vintage ceramic Christmas trees are still quite popular, though the accessories can be difficult to track down. Usually there is a lamp kit set up on the inside of the tree then the bulbs, which are plastic light bulb shaped pins, are inserted into holes in the tree, allowing the light to shine through the plastic pin bulbs. These trees come in different sizes or may even be homemade, but generally require the same size replacement bulb. These ceramic tree replacement bulbs are available from a brand called Darice through Walmart.com or from the Vermont Country Store (they have a widely distributed catalog around the holiday season), you can make a purchase on their website or request a catalog.

If anyone has these bulbs available locally, please write in to Sun Spots.
