Finally, An Old Window!

Oh, how I've been hankering after one of these...

A friend of ours lives in an old farmhouse and has a slew of old sash windows. I asked him a few years ago if I could have some since they were just laying in one of the farm's outbuildings. He said sure!! Well, every once in a while I ask Larry to make sure he brings one or two home...it's never happened. He keeps saying to me, "What the h*@# do you want that for? More junk?" Men just don't get it...or I should say he doesn't get me.

The other day, he surprised me and came home with this!!!

Isn't she a beauty!?!

Sure, it's covered in cobwebs and filth, but what can you expect from sitting in a barn for years? (Oh and ignore the date & time on the pictures. Somehow my camera settings changed to include that, and it is working on two years ago! lol)

 I am pretty sure I'll be removing the hardware...or maybe antiquing it...

 The back shows the glass is all one piece. It is frosted and I'm still figuring out if I want to keep it or not. I will be using this in my garden, probably near the bird garden.

And then, I'm thinking that some of the French graphics from The Graphics Fairy would look phenomenal on this in a few of the diamonds! 

So, when the weather dries up a bit and I finish cleaning this beauty, I will start painting. And hopefully soon I will have the finished product to show off you.
