You Break It, You Can’t Buy It

I broke only two things in nine years of drapery installation. One was a candle, and the other was a 12″ solid turquoise kachina doll hand carved by a dead artist. (he was still alive when he………c’mon, you know what I mean!) Naturally,  I was hanging a decorative thingamajigger (AS A FAVOR) above a fireplace mantle when I completely shattered it. There is a bright side though; When I offered to pay for it, the homeowner said “You can’t……..it was priceless.” Thank goodness for that!
