[info] Okay, so there’s a lot of stories in this bucket…
Story #1: VanGogh dishes. Does anyone really ever use those tiny little coffee cups and saucers that come with china sets? That’s a coffee tease! I decided to take the 8 cups and saucers and make them into mosaic tiles. Why? I was going through my divorce and he had given me these dishes as a Christmas gift. I threw them at the bricks on the side of the house to break them. It’s a good anger release, but also just a lot of fun to do. What? My therapist said it’s only unhealthy if you break stuff you still need of plan to replace. I didn’t need or want these.
Story #2: My favorite plate. The green plate is part of my new (used) mismatched dishes. I had two, this one broke in the microwave. I guess it’s not microwave safe?? The one green one I have left? I keep it at the bottom of the dish stack and only use it myself. LOL!
Story #3: The cat did it. There are some glass vases in here from just a few months ago. My friend was housesitting while I was on vacation and my cat took down the fireplace mantel, which was full of glass vases. Sorry Christina! She got stuck cleaning up the mess.
There’s more stories, but those are the three best. I’m just never going to get around to making anything out of this, so I passed it on to someone that would.
