Yep, we were lucky to find such a shapely tree. I'm not a friend of overdone decoration, and prefer home-made strings like these. Although next year we might try to decorate a nostalgy tree, with the glass bubbles from Mum's childhood, for a change.

If you want it, I can photocopy a few of the recipes for you. They're mostly in German, so you would understand. Or I could try to scan them in and send you as an e-mail attachment, that might work even better.
