Bonus -- Window Surprise

But while working on a project for the Antique Mall tonight, lo and behold, on someone's Flickr account, I found this:

 

It's not a great picture of the window -- but it is a photographic record of our Christmas kitchen window!!  We thought it'd never been seen again!  This was Christmas 2011, and you can read our blog here for more about it.

Yay!!
