We've been housesitting for some friends for nearly three years while they serve a mission, and most of our belongings are in boxes. I looked into one box the other day, and this is what I found.
My favorite dishes are in pieces. My red bowl is broken to bits. I guess someone must have dropped the box at some point in our move. I loved those dishes. And especially that red bowl.
Make it a Wonderful Day!
Oh, they were lovely as dishes! But I'm confident you'll make something terrific out of them as a mosaic, too; the colors are so rich.
ReplyDeleteOh, man. What a shame, but you have the right out-look. Lemonade from lemons.
ReplyDeleteGreat colours together! That purple plate looks as if it is still in one piece... To break? or not to break? :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, so true. I see 'lemonade' in the near future.
ReplyDeleteOh what a shame! The red bowl would have been so lovely. I've done mosiacs before, once, and it's so much fun. You could make something very lovely with those colours. And you could still see them every day, just in a different way.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad about your dishes! But what a wonderful inspiration for a mosaic. From seeing pictures of your work, I can't wait to see what fabulous mosaics you come up with!
ReplyDeleteOh, man. How disappointing, Stephanie. I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteI guarantee you-- it was a guy that did it! They just slam and throw boxes around without even a thought as to what might be inside them. Grrr. A man was helping us at our last yard sale and he picked up and moved a box and dropped it down from about 2 feet up. I heard the pottery inside crack instantly but he never gave it a thought, even as I was carrying the broken items to the trash, right past him. Men. Grrr!
I like how you'll made lemonade though- you're a smart cookie!
You're in good company :0 http://www.joyshope.com/2010/02/unexpected.html
