Or is it? Looks quite different from usual stained glass.
It's tinted / coloured, anyway...

So, I had a lot of fun with this week's theme. Just walking down the alley behind my work I found all kinds of blue things. It was very hard to decide what to add to the group. I also realized I like old stuff.

I found this antique window latch about 20 years ago for about a dollar at a yard sale. I've been waiting for just the right place to use it. My husband is in the process of building a potting shed (or, garden cottage) for me from salvaged materials, including old, shabby chic windows. This antique bronze latch fit just perfectly into this new-old space. I can't wait til it's finished.
