Good thing I've Grown to Love Old, Broken Things

Yesterday, Corey at Tongue in Cheek posted about loving an antique broken inkwell.  I commented saying that old broken things were growing on me.

Today, V. was washing the cup (1855) he bought me at the brocante this summer and was so afraid of breaking it, that he broke it.


I've asked him to glue it back together and it will take a place of prominence on the kitchen shelf.

Amen,

Stella

POOOOR Vlad! I feel bad for both of you, but he must REALLY have been speechless... It looks gluable and you will think of all the "Mariage et freres" tea that you enjoyed drinking out of it every time you see it in your kitchen.

It is gluable but there are tiny pieces missing. I feel that I have not been a good steward of this treasure...
