The elegant simplicity of this garland really appealed to me.  The pine looks realistic and is lovely when strung on the banister, the pine cones add just the right touch of the outdoors brought inside, and the gold ornaments add a welcome sparkle.   I was worried that the glitter would be tacky, but, though it does get everywhere when the garland is being handled, it actually catches the light from the built-in lights in a way that rather wonderfully enhances the magic of the garland.  A great purchase all around!
