Ione's Stained Glass Christmas Tree Lamp
Made by hand in Lindsborg, Kansas · for sale for the first and last time
A little church window in the shape of a Christmas tree.
For 39 Decembers, Ione Lindahl made these little glass trees only to give away – to her mother, her neighbors, her church. Half of Lindsborg has one glowing in the front window. Now she is closing her workshop, and her final batch is the only time they will ever be sold.
“Switch it on, and the whole window turns into Christmas.”

“It never felt right to put a price on them. But I can’t give away four hundred trees – and I want every one of them to end up in a window where somebody really loves it.”
— Ione Lindahl, 68
What arrives at your door

- Wrapped and packed by Ione’s grandchildren Annika and Soren, so every pane arrives safely
What makes it a Window Tree
No. 01
Built like a church window
Small diamond-shaped panes, each framed by a dark lead line – the same look as the stained glass windows in old country churches.
No. 02
Every color glows on its own
Ruby red, emerald, mint, honey amber, gold and a little sky blue. When the light is on, each pane shines in its own color.
No. 03
Four tiers, one golden star
The tree rises in four layered tiers with pointed tips like real fir branches, crowned by a faceted five-pointed star.
No. 04
The holly base
A dark, carved-look trunk and round base wrapped in holly leaves and red berries. It keeps the little tree steady on any sill or shelf.
No. 05
Colored light on the wall
The warm LED inside throws little patches of red, green and gold onto the table and the wall around it, like sunlight through a chapel window.
No. 06
Small enough for anywhere
At just over 7 inches tall, it fits on a windowsill, a nightstand, a mantel or a bookshelf – wherever a little Christmas is missing.
How to set it up
- Unwrap it carefully and give the panes a quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
- Find its spot. In Lindsborg it goes in the front window, where the whole street can see it. A mantel, a nightstand or a bookshelf works just as well.
- Plug the USB cable into any USB wall plug, a power bank or a computer.
- Dim the room and watch the colors land on the wall. That’s the moment people write to Ione about.

Made by hand in Lindsborg
Ione Lindahl opened her little workshop above the old hardware store on Main Street on December 5, 1987. That same month, she made her first glass tree for her mother’s front window – and the neighbors came knocking. Ever since, she has made about forty trees every December and given every single one away. Each tree is cut, foiled, soldered and checked by hand, one at a time. Arthritis in both hands means this is her last Christmas at the bench. The workshop closes on December 5, 2026. Annika and Soren will keep shipping after that, until the last tree is gone.

“What makes a church window special isn’t the glass alone. It’s the dark lines between the colors – they make every piece glow on its own. Ione’s little trees have exactly that. You see it the moment the light goes on.”
Gunnar Esping, retired church window restorer, 34 years restoring stained glass across Kansas and Nebraska

Questions people ask Annika
How big is it really?
About 7.1 inches tall and 4.3 inches wide at the bottom tier – roughly the height of two coffee mugs stacked. Small enough for a windowsill, big enough to fill a dark corner with color.
Is it bright enough to light a room?
It isn’t a reading lamp. It’s a mood light: soft, warm and colorful. In a dim room in the evening, it’s the coziest thing in the house.
Can I use it after Christmas?
Many people do. A lot of families keep it on the nightstand as a night light well into January.
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Orders ship within 1–2 business days. Annika and Soren pack every tree themselves.

A note from Ione:
For 39 Decembers I made these little glass trees only to give away. The first one went into my mother's front window in 1987, and half of Lindsborg has one in the window now. My hands are getting too stiff for the fine work, and on December 5, exactly 39 years after I first opened my workshop, I close it for good. These 357 trees are the last I will ever make, and the first I have ever sold.
Annika and Soren will keep shipping after December 5, until the very last one is gone.
When they're gone, they're gone.
