And now for a behind-the-scenes ceramic animal tale. While we were working on this project…
…this happened:
I’m not quite ready to write the full story yet, so here’s John’s illustration of how the mishap unfolded:
Unfortunately, my favorite oversized ceramic dog — a HomeGoods find from three years ago that only cost $29 — lost his face. As one well-known blogger put it: it sucked, and then I cried.
There’s a little candle-lit vigil happening. Goodbye, Mr. Ceramic Dog — you were a perfect pet who never left a mess. And then this happened.
I might attempt to glue the pieces back together, though some fragments are tiny. For now I’ve been shaking, wiping tears, and whispering “why?”
Only kidding — I’ll survive.
