Just a short time before our daughter got married, my husband was over at a friend's house shooting the breeze. Our friend has a large outbuilding and in it was this pretty thing. Why was it just collecting dust in this building? My husband asked if we might borrow it for our daughter's wedding reception. R. said, you can borrow it provided you don't bring it back. Now this opaque glass window was going to be thrown out when R. eyed it, rescued it and built the frame you see. I think at one time, they had used it as a room divider. We don't know all of the history, but we will find out. For now, it was from an old church in the area that was being renovated or torn down. When I find out the particulars, I will let you know. Rumor has it, that George Washington had worshiped in the church, but in this area of the country, Ole Georgie Boy got around. We don't know fact from fiction, really, when it comes to our first President. So from church, to R.'s home to outbuilding to our family room, this much is true. This Christmas, we will gaze upon The Pretty Thing and have a sense of peace and joy at our Saviour's birth.
