An Anniversary Present

So my very lovely mother-in-law got us this stained glass window as a wedding anniversary present. It's stayed with the in-laws until just recently when we finally had a chance to bring it to our new apartment.

 I've always admired stained glass, but I have a whole new appreciation for the art now.






It's vibrant hues change colors depending on the light outside. It's enchanting.

Originally, I thought I might hang it on a wall. Now that I've seen it on the windowsill, I don't think I can bring myself to move it. It simply comes alive with light streaming through it.

Stained glass, m'dears: it speaks to me.

  1. There is a whole Victorian home of stained glass pieces in the Outer Banks that I'm dying to revisit, it had the exact same effect on me!
