Crash! There goes yet another one.

Decorating the tree went as it has in the past few years. One of the large vintage glass ornaments fell off the tree and broke beyond repair. Will they outlive me?
For the six word challenge.

A terrific story, which your photo tells so well,but a very sad occurence!

[Corinne C]

Oh no, this is frustrating but it's also the opportunity to renew your stash of ornaments :-)

[Kathy A]

That's sad, I hope you have plenty more

[Kathy]

@grammyn I know. I think the ones that have broken are the thinnest and biggest ones. I don't even know how I knocked this one off. Thank you Katy.
@corinnec It is frustrating. Hard to find these old ornaments. They're pricy on eBay and I don't go to thrift stores enough to find them. I guess others have thrown them away or broken a lot of them.
@kjarn Less than a dozen of this kind. I have some smaller ones, but not really as pretty and delicate.😔

[Pyrrhula]

Be careful with the cleaniing . So sorry it`s broken.

[Susan Wakely]

Such a shame to read and see this sad story. I guess with each passing year they become more fragile.

[Shutterbug]

That is too bad. It looks like it was very pretty. Maybe put some fluffy towels around until the tree is fully decorated.

[Dawn]

Such a pity , starting to look lovely

[Taffy]

Oh no!

[Wylie]

Always a little sad to lose a glass one - I don't know that I've got any left at all!

[PhotoCrazy]

Oh no!

[Call me Joe]

😢🥺❤️

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great storytelling image. I hope it wasn't a cherished ornament.

[Margaret Brown]

It’s always sad when you loose yet another one!

[Granagringa]

Such a good point of view. And the darkness adds so much for the mood and story.

[haskar]

That's sad.

I guess "Another one bites the dust!" would be one word short! :- )

@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry. Cleaned up safely.
@wakelys They must get more fragile. Thanks Sue
@shutterbug49 Thanks Debbie. A good suggestion.
@Dawn Thanks Dawn.
@taffy Yup! Another Christmas with one less old ornament.
@pusspup I still have some glass ornaments but few from that era.
@photographycrazy Oh yes!
@joemuli Thank you.
@mccarth1 Thank you Kerri. It was cherished because it was either my parents' or grandparents' ornament and made of fine glass that was translucent, allowing light to shine through it. And I can't find replacements.
@craftymeg Yes it's disappointing. Thank you.
@granagringa Thank you.
@haskar It is sad. A piece of my past is gone, like so many others. Thank you.
@thewatersphotos Harsh, Gary! But funny.

[Mary Siegle]

Oh, dear. I hope it wasn’t one of your very favorites. I know how delicate those old glass ones are.
