I threw the papers out on Monday and never recovered the earrings-saddened me.Anjela's Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209844678269049392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-1062238916037389192009-01-15T09:33:00.000-05:002009-01-15T09:33:00.000-05:00materfamilias: I broke a beloved china dish with i...materfamilias: I broke a beloved china dish with images from Babar on it. When two artisans were building a pique-assiette table for the back yard, they incorporated the pieces and called the table "A Home for Babar".Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-53238673223171695642009-01-14T21:56:00.000-05:002009-01-14T21:56:00.000-05:00You describe very well the various stages one must...You describe very well the various stages one must pass through to reconcile oneself to the loss of a special object or garment -- it takes a surprising amount of time. But I absolutely agree that using these items is still worth the risk, much better than putting them away and keeping them safe. I recently broke the lid of a perfect little one-cup Wedgewood teapot whimsically decorated with elephants -- I loved it, and I'm so sad it's now missing a lid, but I enjoyed it so much for all those cups of tea, so many small moments of pleasure.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-27304041796576060752009-01-14T17:30:00.000-05:002009-01-14T17:30:00.000-05:00bonnie-ann: Your family story touched me.

I have a friend whose philosophy of life is summed up by her motto, "Use the good china every day."<BR/>Theft is another level of loss, scarier because someone is in your home. Cybill wrote a great post about this last year- the theft of jewelry she had not worn enough.<BR/>Wendy: Aaargh, I hope so too.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-36621417493990996312009-01-14T15:07:00.000-05:002009-01-14T15:07:00.000-05:00I wish that you find your scarf too.

It can be stuck together again sometimes, but not well enough to be used for the original purpose.<BR/><BR/>I still love to collect and use my nice pieces so I have to accept the possibility they may get damaged or broken in the process.<BR/><BR/>The Buddhists have a concept where they think of the bowl as already broken, as it will be someday. Nothing lasts, nothing stays the same.<BR/><BR/>Hope your scarf turns up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-32197045731371865162009-01-14T11:24:00.000-05:002009-01-14T11:24:00.000-05:00Although I'm not familiar with Tintin, I bet it's ...Although I'm not familiar with Tintin, I bet it's a cute scarf. Here's hoping it turns up.<BR/><BR/>We all have our "ones that got away." Mine include a couple of beautiful silver handcrafted bracelets (lost due to inadequate toggle clasps) and a favorite watch (left at the gym). Such is life, I guess.NancyDaQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609215745927535353noreply@blogger.com
