my teacup collection is all smashed...









we thought our roof had been fixed. we paid a guy to do it.
but we just had a big downpour, and the water has leaked into our wall, softened the plaster, and the screws that were holding in the brackets that secured the teacups to the wall just fell out... and my beautiful, priceless collection is no more.

i am sitting here just crying and crying, and sajee is collecting the pieces and putting them in a box...

oh sweetie, that's terrible. :(

[dear-prudence.livejournal.com]

i can't stop crying...

[johnnypurple.livejournal.com]

aww. *hugs*

Will you keep the pieces? Are any mendable?

[dear-prudence.livejournal.com]

sajee is putting the pieces in a box.
i can't think about fixing them now. it's too horrible. pieces that were priceless are now totally worthless. and you can't drink out of them when they're mended...

[lizbee.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry.

[suburbannoir.livejournal.com]

Oh that is awful. I would be devastated too.

[syriane.livejournal.com]

How horrible, I'm so sorry for your lovely cups! *hugs*
But fortunately neither one of you were standing under the shelves when they came down.

Oh, darling. R and I are both so upset for you. :(

How awful.

I'm glad Sajee's collecting the pieces - you probably don't even want to think about it right now, but something beautiful might be able to be made from the devastation.

[elvenjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh sweetie! I'm so, so, so sorry.

[sizeoftheocean.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweetie, that's horrible. Big big hugs

[lalumena.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am so very sorry. That's just so sad. :(

[stephiepenguin.livejournal.com]

*big hugs*

i'm so sorry :o(

[furies.livejournal.com]

oh, that is awful and fully deserving of tears.

perhaps you could make a mosaic out of the bits, later?

but. i know it's not the same at all.

sending peaceful thoughts your way.

[kitchit.livejournal.com]

Oh my Gosh! I am so sorry, that is horrible. I would be crying too. I thought maybe you could make a mosaic out of the pieces too to commemorate the collection. How horrible!

[metal-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh god, that's terrible. D: It's like losing artwork - just irreplaceable. I hope yr doing ok, considering. :(

[tracer123.livejournal.com]

Well, fuck.

[porcelaines.livejournal.com]

oh holy fuck.
I'm tearing up just looking at the photos! You loved those cups so much.
*hugs*

[wastxd-symphony.livejournal.com]

That's awful! But I'm sure that you'll get a new collection up and running very shortly, and that you will cherish it even more than this one!

[nixwilliams.livejournal.com]

oh my god, i am so, so sorry. that is so horrible.

*HUGS*

[daniel-bethany.livejournal.com]

all i can do is offer you a hug. *hug*

[nalathilion.livejournal.com]

Oh my ... I'm so sorry.

[suspicion-bells.livejournal.com]

Oh no sweetie :(( I got teary just looking at the pics so I can't even imagine how you must be feeling :( Sending lots of love and snuggles your way! xox

[luminous-lu.livejournal.com]

Gosh, that makes me wish I lived in your area. I'm a restorer, I could probably put together and fix most of them. :( I know it probably wouldn't be a big satisfaction anyway, though. :(

I wish I could help you, sweetie. I am SO so sorry.

[notcharming.livejournal.com]

oh hon! i'm so sorry to see this...

((big hugs)) to you!

[thethirdbar.livejournal.com]

oh, that is so sad, i'm so sorry. :( *hugs*

[weaverandom.livejournal.com]

Oh God. I'm so sorry for your collection - it was so beautiful!

I want to say something comforting but I don't know what.

*offers e-hugs, useless as they are*

[danniiboy.livejournal.com]

:.(

I just invented a smiley for "tear running down face" in your honour.

I hope you were insured.

Also, Sark is unimpressed. He will find that contractor and he will make him bleed. Lots. While an drinking expensive red.

[twocheeseplease.livejournal.com]

Oh sweetie that's just devastating. I'm so sorry...

[emiv.livejournal.com]

*big hugs*

[spillingvelvet.livejournal.com]

oh my sweet darling, i am so so sorry.

[shadowkitten87.livejournal.com]

Oh god, how absolutely terrible. Once you can think again, I'd think about suing. That collection was worth so much money! You don't even need to sue for money though, just if you win the supposed roof repairman has to sit on your kitchen floor with super glue until all the pieces are restored to your satisfaction. And if he wants to drink tea he has to drink it out of his cupped hands. And no tasty baked treats, either!

*hugs*

[queen-of-chai.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry, that is heartbreaking.

[cesario.livejournal.com]

*appalled*

I can't even imagine what you're feeling. I'm so, so sorry.

[fairyspell.livejournal.com]

*Gasp!* OMG!

I am so sorry to know this has happened to you. Definately a situation worthy of many tears! *hugs SO tight*

[skadi.livejournal.com]

That is heart breaking. I am so, so sorry.


This might be totally inappropriate, but I'll offer anyway: if you want me to find you a tea cup from somewhere in the Chicago area, I would do so and send you it. And maybe a few other friends could do that or something like that. And you'd have a jump start on reforming your collection. I don't know.

But that might be too much to think about right now. So let me just repeat: I'm so sorry!

[autumnjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh, hon, that's awful! I'm so very sorry!
*HUGS*

[shehasathree]

oh, i'm so sorry.
*enormous littleperson hugs*

[solidblossom.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry :(

[innocent-alice.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry to hear that. ): Definitely take the time to have a good cry. And then track down that repair guy!

[glittery-girl.livejournal.com]

Oh my god Essie, I'm tearing up just looking at them. How awful, I can't imagine how upset you must be. *hugs*
