A Photo a Week Challenge: Delicate
Delicate beadwork and fragile flowers.
Honestly? We don’t have a lot of “delicate” here. What we have is carefully placed where it can’t be knocked over by a clumsy human or enthusiastic dog.
In this house, if it can be broken, it has already been broken.
It’s why, though I love them, I shiver at the idea of a kitten. Dogs, at least, mostly hang with the floor. But cats leap and climb curtains. I don’t think this house would survive that.
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t survive it either.
Since moving to the little flat, there are really only the window ledges for pretty things (okay, I could put things on the shelves, but that’s book space!). I still manage to break stuff though…

That’s what photos are for, a reminder of things once here.

Yes, but I loved that little vase. It was a beauty. And I was the one that killed it.

Don’t blame yourself. I don’t know about you but I’m running out of room for things. Unfortunately, some things get broken. At least you still have a photo of it.

I know. If I could throw away books, I would. But I can’t. Books have to be passed on, except no one wants them.

I can’t throw away any books either. There may come a day when people wish they had them. I have most of the classics.

Lovely photos. I’m sorry you lost your pretty vase. We have a dog that we’ve had to bar from the hardwood floors (we are planning on selling the house soon or he would be allowed), and that also keeps him away from some of the more delicate trinkets on display in the living room. Don’t feel to bad for him. We spend most of our time in the basement family room, which is his domain. 🙂 Thanks for joining the challenge!
