Besides shopping for clothes for a business trip to Las Vegas, creating a little art and cleaning up tiny liquor bottles, we pulled out another box from the basement and headed for the stained glass repair shop. The glass is something John purchased about in Gaitlenburg, TN (another 30 years ago!). It didn't have a frame or way to hang it. The repair shop confirmed what the seller had told John when he bought it. It's about 130 years old, from England and came from a big shipment of stained glass pieces that were shipped to the US after being salvaged from a big demolition. We hung it in the kitchen window...it's almost the perfect size. The hanging glass piece next to it is also an antique that was hanging in our old house. Funny how finally getting it hung makes me feel like we're really moved in now. Our old house had many more places to hang things, nooks and crannies, but it still looks good in our new kitchen. Labor day is really going to be a day of rest now!
