Then I heard it. A crash! I knew exactly what had happened. I didn't want to look.
And there it was. I had an unexpected before and after to share with you.
Before.....
And after.....
Need a closer look.....
What happened? The nail came out of the door. Note to self, use a screw next time.
It could have been worse. It looks like it slid straight down the door and most of the broken ornaments are on the bottom and the side that probably hit the doorknob.
Imagine if it had fallen forward when it hit the floor.
It can be fixed.
Megan, we'll need to schedule another craft day.
And that's a good thing!
oh i could feel that!! :(
ReplyDeleteoh NO!!!!!!!! i am so sad for you! i know how much work goes into those- ouch. so so sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Sad sad day!
ReplyDeleteOh, so sad! I'm sorry that happened to you...but maybe the thought of another craft day is cheering??
ReplyDeleteWhat a pitty !!
ReplyDeleteIt was soooo wonderfull!
But crafters always have wonderful new ideas, don´t we?
Dearest greetings from Lehrte near Hannover in Germany

Oh No! I'm glad that it can be fixed...If it makes you feel better we had our entire 13 foot Christmas tree fall over this year! :)
ReplyDeleteI must say that you're taking it very well. If it was here my cats would be learning a few new words.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna cry! This wreath is one of my favorites!!! I'm so sorry.

Oh my. I lost one of mine at a show. The wind took it over and all I could think was, "My vintage babies!" So sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! That's so sad
ReplyDeleteSo glad that all the ornaments didn't break, and it is fixable, plenty of time before next Christmas. Maybe use a cup hook instead of regular screw.
ReplyDeleteHope to see it back up in about 350 more days.
The close ups made me wince! So sorry it happened, but I love your attitude Sharon! You'll fix it up. Love that old door.
ReplyDeleteAh, mannnn!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a bummer! And it made it through all the holidays too! I thought you were going to say the whole door crashed forward smashing everything. Whew.
ReplyDeleteuh oh! :( that's sad! It is/was so pretty. Good luck repairing it.
ReplyDeleteso sorry!

I have often wondered about these beautiful ball wreaths for this very reason. I thought it I ever made one, I would use the unbreakable kind. But then they would not be vintage!
ReplyDeleteI think I would have cried right then and there! All your hard work! It's gorgeous, and I'm sure that with a little TLC you two will have it looking as good as new!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I guess you have plenty of time between now and next season! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteOuch -- I think I heard that here in Oregon. Happy to know it can be repaired and I love that door!
ReplyDeletePS I'm going to try your chalk paint recipe!
Oh no! I'm glad it can be fixed.
ReplyDeleteSharon, thank you so much for stopping by and giving me all of those extremely useful tips. I made the necessary changes. Thanks for helping me find my way :)
The good news is you enjoyed it for the holidays though!
ReplyDeleteGail
Oh, no! It was SO pretty! I'm sad for you. :(
ReplyDeleteOH NO for sure . those thigs use to make me sick but then I realize there is more things important that our breakable treasures. It comes with age LOL
ReplyDeleteI am sure you can fix it up
Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry!But the positive side is that it didn't happen until after Christmas!
Too bad...it was so pretty!

Oh, ouch, that's not good at all. It was fabulous. So I'm making mine from plastic, shatterproof ornaments. It'll be outside and at least 4 feet across at the peak of the house, so if it falls it'll be game over too.
