Decorating disaster SAVED!

Long time no hear from my blog!

I love to decorate my house in things as old as you can find them. Things "as old as dirt" my family likes to say =0)
Right now I love old windows.
As many of you may remember, I moved to Georgia after living in Arizona for almost 20 years. Well, old stuff in Az is way more expensive then old stuff in Ga. (yeah for Ga! And ME!) Anyway, my hubby took me to one of the biggest flea markets I have ever seen. And at this flea market there are rows and rows of old windows. I looked through about 50 windows, lots of them had broken glass some most of the glass was gone...of course as things normally go I found the 2 I liked at the end of the row. They were perfect! They had all their glass AND they were only $10 each!!!! We loaded them up and took them to their new home.

This is what I did with them. They are on each side of our TV in our, vaulted ceiling, living room.
One early morning I hear a really, really loud crash! One of my wonderful windows had fallen. 4 of  the glass pieces made it out of the 6. I decided to salvage the window and hang it back up.

Men use duck tape...
I use twine (or jute which ever one you choose to call it). The crazy thing is, I had to put this stinker of a window back up twice! It seems to like jumping off my wall. I hope it stays up this time!

I hung old door knobs in the frame and I am going to hang photo's from them. (far lower right corner is the beginning of what it may look like)  =0)
