Covered Bridge Ornament
- 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.
