Got the phone call from my hubby that a shelf of my pottery had come down while he was out. All gone! Cream of my pottery collection. Needless to say I was really upset. Years of thrift finds! Darling daughter to the rescue! My seven year old has made it her mission to fix all of my pieces. You can see the results of her work with the last Weller picture. My seven year old is not only working on her problem solving skills, but developing a love of old pottery as well. (silver lining) RIP cherished collection...

   Oh no! I would be upset if my Fenton all broke! Will you be replacing it all?

   I would love to but this was two good decades of thrifting... I have been so intrigued by everyones Fenton collections that I might start something new. Although I don't think that I can get pottery out of my blood.

   Think of all the collectors in Minot, ND or Joplin, MO. We are custodians of these treasures...for a while. Enjoy them, share them while you can!

   I understand, Ive lost three pieces of carnival glass, one to the wind, one to slippery hands, and one to my dogs tail.... upsets me every time I think about it

   It is terrible to lose a collection you have put together over the years . I kind of think like you; I don't think that I would be able to start over collecting the same thing again. You are blessed to have a daughter that wants to put everything back together for you ! Priceless ! I have d daughter(grown), who has always been involved with me and my collecting, following me to flea markets and yardsales, and has a great appreciation for collecting. Looks like your daughter will follow in your footsteps to ! Thanks for sharing, and good luck in the future !

   Thrift Gypsy, my daughter is priceless. My son, who is four, has contributed to quite a bit of breakage, so I love him the same but keep him away from my collecting at the moment.
   I seem to have moved to glass, scandinavian pottery, and 50/60s barware. Not planned, just happened.

    That sounds good.... I usually keep my collecting to unbreakables as much as possible, due to the fact that I am kind of clumsy ! lol. Good luck with your future collecting. T.G.

    Ugh Amber! : ( sorry about all of these. So glad you are still happily collecting : )

    If I think about specific pieces, it still makes me sad. However, it kind of broke me (no pun intended) out of a collecting rut and moved me on to new things, including our Scandinavian glass!
    But yes it does stink...

    You have a fantastic outlook!
    
    My youngest son grabbed a low shelf of art glass, destroying three pieces-- two modern and a large piece of Kralik.
    
    We kept the pieces in a bag for over a year and then threw it out. I had forgotten about it until I saw this post!
