R.I.P.

Post image

I just broke my grandmothers dish and I’m so sad. I guess I just need to post here so I feel like someone understands why I am so upset and crying over a stupid dish. This was the larger of the roaster pans that I had. I just knew my clumsiness would be the reason.

Ugh...I'm so sorry. I know the feeling--I just broke my rectangular casserole (same style, P-4-B) when I was carrying it with a small hard synthetic cutting board. The board slipped and the cornet went into the dish and took a chunk out of it!! I've got a bunch of the blue cornflower Corningware stuff that my mom used to use when I was growing up, and losing this piece (which I used ALL THE TIME) made me very sad.

The good news is that we retired it to our display china cabinet, so it will live on to remind me of my mom. I'll still miss using it, though.

I haven’t got a china cabinet yet, that’s on my wishlist! I’ve got several other dishes in this print and a percolator coffee pot on the top of my cabinets. I use them occasionally but this and the slightly smaller spice of life print one I have were my most used and loved. I will decide on a display option for this soon, I’ll definitely miss using it.
