What clinched it is that with the leaning the leaded window has started to warp and unless I rescue it, it will shattered from the stress. I am terribly sentimental about my old bit and pieces and to me this window was a treasure when I found it and still is... so I will have to find another spot I can enjoy it for the rest of my years. Also I definitely need some kind of work area there to replace it. I have two old picnic benches out behind the barn.. I'm thinking I may be able to upcyclethose. Also there is part of an old bed if I remember right...and a big iron angel that never fits anywhere. I'm sure I'll find something to inspire me....
The round thing on the bottom shelf is an old brass baptismal font. I used it for water for the birds but it corroded in the bottom.. It too needs to find another use as I can't bear to discard it....

The window is a true treasure. I'm glad you're saving it. It is so lovely.
Thank goodness you took the words out of my mouth--SAVE THE WINDOW!!
Glad you are saving the window - I would be refinishing it and it would have a place of honour in my house. It also occurred to me when I saw this photo how perfect it would be as a 'focal' in a crazy quilt piece!!
Your poor bench reminds me of a lot of old barns and farm buildings I see around here. But for sure the window needs a new home where you can enjoy it.
