I’ve had this old wooden stirrup on my table for many, many years. It belonged to my great grandfather. I found it in his old barn more than 30 years ago. I cleaned it up and have used it ever since on my table for a napkin holder.  This surely is a piece of “salvaged grace” in my house (and my heart) and wanted to share with you.

Submitted by Renae Heustess (my second mom and a soon to be grandmother). I grew up with Renae’s daughter, Brooke, who is welcoming her first child, Dylan Scott Bauer to the world in April. Exciting times!
