This week, I’m sharing two photos because I couldn’t make a decision. Both of these are “borrowed” with permission. I love these charming windows with the flower pots sitting outside them. I wish I had a window at my house where I could do this.
The second window serves as background for this laden table. The whole picture reminds me so very much of my mom’s and grandmother’s tables on baking days — especially around the holidays. Every time I look at this picture, I am transported to some of the happiest memories of my childhood and adolescence.
One other thing that ties these two pics together is the curtains at the windows. Did you notice that they are of exactly the same material and with very similar patters embroidered into them? I love them.
Be sure to leave a link to your windows in the comment section. I am really enjoying seeing all of your interesting takes on this theme. Hope you’re enjoying it as much.

I love your lace curtains and baking, perfect! I wonder what you will think of this one 🙂

Oh, that is amazing, Gilly! And definitely, please DON’T start posting “conventional” windows. It would take so much of the fun out of it. Thank you.
Hi there Sandra
I wish my windowsills were wider too ! Ginger cookies in kit form ??? Two very homely windows 🙂
Uh… mine is a bit different this week modern with a twist 🙂 will post tomorrow !
Great. I’m looking forward to it.

Here’s my entry for this week’s windows. http://goomfh.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/thursdays-windows-week-5/ I hope you like it! 🙂
Oh, yes I do like it. And I love those handles on the doors and windows in your photos. I noticed the one in last week’s photo as well. They are such an interesting shape compared to the ones here in the States.
Thank you so much Sandra. As I’ve mentioned before windows and doors are very dear to me as subjects of photography. There’s something quite mysterious about them. And every little detail – such as the handles – counts….

Hi Sandra – Here’s my Window of the Week: http://newpillowbook.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/thursdays-windows-ramparts/. I’m sure the people who built it didn’t think of it as a window – they probably had some technical military term for it – but today, that’s what it is.
Neat. And I’d call it a window. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Oh, and Sandra, those lace curtains in your two windows are beatiful!!
Um. “Beautiful.” Not beatiful. Sometimes my fingers type too fast for my brain.
No problem. I hadn’t noticed the missing letter.
Sandra, I received your message and am glad to repost my window. It was taken at a restaurant called La Caille in Sandy Utah as we were driving home from vacation two years ago. I can’t wait to go back there when the weather will, hopefully, be better. http://photovignettes.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/photo-challenge-thursdays-windows-week-5/
Thanks, Paul. It looks like this one posted just fine. I do love that window!

Hi Sandra again ! My Thursdays Windows are here 🙂
http://poppytump.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/thursdays-windows-5/
Now these are some SERIOUS window pictures! Thanks for sharing.
Great shot, by the way.
Ah you have made me think . Maybe a little Stark and Dark 😉
Next week … a lighter touch … 🙂 x
I hope I didn’t cause any confusion. I just meant that you had done a great job of getting so many different kinds of windows into one photo.

Lovely windows Sandra! The curtains are so similar that I would have thought it was an inside and outside view of the same window, until reading your description. 🙂 Here’s mine for this week: http://wp.me/pT3BE-wp
Oh, this is soooooooo pretty, Sharon! Thanks for sharing it.
I got your message and here is my re-post for this week.

Thanks, Dana. I don’t know what’s wrong. I think your pingback is the only thing that came through the first time, and the comment section still says there are 26 comments, but it’s showing only 23. I am getting the notifications on my little symbol at the top of the page, so I’m seeing all the pictures, but unfortunately, some of the regular readers don’t see them all when they go to the post to read it. I can’t imagine what’s wrong, but I’ll try to keep track and make sure everything gets on there.
