Just before Christmas a new antique store opened downtown.
I spied this beautiful pitcher and thought it would be lovely filled with roses:).
Last weekend hubby and I were perusing the treasures in this shop and the pitcher was still there. With a little coaxing hubby agreed to buy the pitcher for me. (Just so you understand, we are following the Dave Ramsey financial program thus limiting extra spending. OK, let me give you a visual-remember the old Godzilla movies were the monster and Godzilla battle-well let's just say this is the case of shopoholic (me) vs. Dave Ramsey. Needless to say Dave Ramey is winning and it's not pretty:).
I was very excited at this little extravagance which I knew had not made hubby too happy but he agreed nonetheless.
Let's get real here (yes this is the shopoholic talking). How can anyone pass up such a beautiful sparkling crystal treasure when it was priced at a mere $28!
Look at the beautiful detail!
I could hardly wait to arrange a bouquet of roses in it!
This was truly a piece of art,
until...
the unthinkable happened.
Early the next morning hubby was getting a coffee cup from the cabinet.
Yup, you know what's coming.
He accidentally hit the pitcher with the cup resulting in a huge crack all the way around it!
The crack is not too evident in the pics but needless to say the pitcher will only be holding silk flowers as it can no longer hold liquids.
Well, that's what I was going to use it for anyway, right?
I paid a visit to our local silk flower shop and found some pretty pink roses.
I placed the rose filled pitcher on the music cabinet in the dining room along with some of my porcelains also bedecked in pink roses.
It's funny, when hubby bought the pitcher he did it out of kindness.
When he broke the pitcher he was crushed.
I told him he was only upset because the crack had ruined the pitcher.
