The stained glass window depicts St. John the Divine and was created by the Tiffany Studios. It was installed in the church in 1896. Proceeds from the sale of a Tiffany stained glass window will be used to repair a church's leaking roof so it can continue to host a winter shelter for people who need a place to sleep and a warm meal. Members of First Baptist Church in Brattleboro, Vermont, voted by...

Mercury glass, always popular during the holidays, is becoming a year-round decoration. Surrounded by leaves, bittersweet and pumpkins, the silvered glass looks timeless and elegant for Thanksgiving. Mercury glass is a misnomer, because it doesn't contain the toxic substance. It's a clear glass blown into double-walled shapes, then coated on the inside, through a hole in the bottom, with a formula...
