Window Ornaments

 

Today the February Sun drew my attention to another kind of "bling". I have two window ornaments made of horseshoe nails and glass. One (above) hangs in my study, and the other (below) in my bedroom. (Not easy to tell from the photos, but the one below is smaller, only about 1/3 of the size of the one above.)

I've been racking my brain to remember their history, but the details aren't really clear in my my memory any more. I think that both may have been bought on some family holiday trip in the south of Sweden in my early teens or so - and that orginally, one was kept by us/me while the other was given to my p. grandmother. One reason why the details are blurred in my memory now is probably that later on, my parents moved to live in my dad's childhood home - and I seem have memories of both ornaments from different windows over time. The only thing I'm sure about now is that at least since 2014, they have both been residing with me!
