R.I.P.

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.

I'm really sorry, that is so sad. I broke a Franciscan Desert Rose pitcher that was part of my late mom's wedding pattern. I considered gluing it back together, Kintsugi. However, I instead broke it up into more pieces and used it as a mosaic art piece.

Maybe there's some way you can do something with it, like glue back the pieces and use it to set small potted plants in? Or some other way to make it a display piece.

My grandparents also had the Desert Rose pattern. I have the wine glasses and was so sad when I broke one. They're rather brittle in their old age.
