Covered Bridge Ornament
by Old World Christmas

From Old World Christmas. Covered Bridges recall simpler times and small towns where everyone knew their neighbors. Nicknamed "kissing bridges," reasons are varied as to why they were covered - perhaps to preserve the truss structure, to prevent oxen from balking when crossing water, or protect travelers during storms. This little barn-red glass Covered Bridge ornament is beautifully glittered and painted to look like a winter snowstorm just passed over the small town where it resides, and it is a great reminder of home for those who grew up in small towns.
