Stained Glass Window

A few years ago my mother-in-law took up stained glass as a hobby. When we moved into the house she generously offered to make us a stained glass piece for our upstairs window. After picking out a pattern and selecting the glass (wow, who knew there were so many different kinds?!), she went to work...and boy did she work!

This week she and my father-in-law came over to install the window. When I came home and saw it, it literally took my breath away. It is amazing! And, let me tell you, this was no small undertaking. The window is about 5 1/2' by 3'. It is a remarkable gift.

I am in LOVE with the finished product! It's gorgeous and, as a practical matter, provides us with some much needed privacy (this window is in Mr. Mel's closet).
