I think it so marvelous that Mrs. Shady took her time to glue all the pieces back together to turn it into something even more beautiful. I can imagine it would make for a great conversation starter and good laugh. Yes, you are very right. Imperfections themselves are very often the things that bring out true beauty in something. Thank you for sharing such a nice story of yours. <br />I hope that this new week is just marvelous for you and Mrs. Shady, and I would love to see that beautiful urn!<br />Lucy in the Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12151981955331505365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492995932622127142.post-31447103257234282482014-02-02T04:05:37.360+10:002014-02-02T04:05:37.360+10:00aaah you just look so lovely and beautiful. your h...aaah you just look so lovely and beautiful. your hair is perfection! and i adore the vanity set!<br />love and kiss,maryMonsterchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418938515760517614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492995932622127142.post-83087014288851955552014-02-02T01:02:25.398+10:002014-02-02T01:02:25.398+10:00Hello, dear Lucy!

In your various OOTD posts I have seen you wearing a variety of colors and they all work for you, including this lovely pink/grey combo. <br /><br />It was nice to view your latest haul, particularly the ornate hand held mirror. I like what you wrote about it, observing that the broken glass makes it even more beautiful. I couldn't agree more. I have my own story in that regard. A few years ago, Mrs. Shady and I purchased a very large ceramic urn with distressed/antiqued finish. On the day we brought it home in the car, my macho brother-in-law was with us and asserted that we didn't need a dolly to transport the heavy urn into the house. He insisted on carrying it himself. Using a bear hug he lifted the urn out of the trunk, climbed the stairs, entered the house and began to cross through to the room where we wanted to display the urn. Before he could reach the designated spot he lost his grip and dropped the urn and it shattered into a dozen pieces! Over the next couple of weeks, Mrs. Shady set about gluing the pieces of the urn together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Lo and behold, when she had completed the tedious task, we found ourselves owning an urn that was much more beautiful to look at than it would have been unbroken! It's proven to be a conversation starter whenever we have guests in the house and everyone laughs when we tell the story behind it. <br /><br />The lesson is that some broken things can be repaired good as new. Those that cannot be repaired can be displayed in such a way that people only see the unbroken side. Still others are pleasing to the eye in spite of or because of their imperfection.<br /><br />Lucy, I want to thank you for demonstrating your friendship and support by visiting my blog. In doing so, you let me know that my blog, my interests and my life as just as important to you as yours are to me. I am proud to have you as a friend and it's always a pleasure to come here and support your blog. Thank you very much for reciprocating.<br /><br />I wish you a happy Sunday and a wonderful week ahead, dear friend!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492995932622127142.post-18469263861007821162014-02-01T15:50:40.946+10:002014-02-01T15:50:40.946+10:00Hi again Abigail, thank you very much for so kindl...Hi again Abigail, thank you very much for so kindly nominating me for the Liebster Blog Award!

Thank you very much, I'm glad you think that it suits me. I always seem to have trouble finding lipstick colours that I feel suit me, so most of the time I don't wear any at all. But I think I found my new staple colour. Hahaha I'm over the heat - bring Autumn on I say! <br /><br />What a neat idea to carry one around with you. Very handy. I should be doing that - there have been times when I've had to put hems up with safety pins when I'm out!Lucy in the Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12151981955331505365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492995932622127142.post-28974552248570944542014-02-01T15:42:27.414+10:002014-02-01T15:42:27.414+10:00Thanks!
