I'm sure many of you are getting your fall decorating done, I hope to finish this weekend.
See this little cutie right here? The one on the left? Bless it's little p-picking heart, it ended up broken a while back. I didn't think at the time to take pictures of all the broken shards of glass, just wanted to get it cleaned up before Mr. P or Miss Scooter stepped on any of it. We're not sure how it happened, just one of those things. ;-
I love the shape and texture, kind of reminds me up a crown sitting on top of a pedestal.
Having forgotten about it until now, I checked my supply of goodies to see if I had any thing to fit the base. I found a fish bowl shaped glass jar. Yah!
Using what I had on hand....
I sparingly put some around the inside edges. Again, no pictures. I'm talented, but hanging on to the camera, glue and not making a mess? hmmmm I think we're better off not having those pictures. lol
I gently put the glass on top, jiggled it around for a bit, pulled it off and set it back down to lock the two together.
Voila' ! And it's whole again.
Back to it's home in the living room. :-)) Thankfully, no one was hurt or injured in the little "oops", and the little glass jar became one with it's base. ;-))
Until next time...

How fantastic that you could fix it! It is so pretty...I hate when things get broke...I know it happens, but I just hate it!!
Hi Lynne! You are absolutely the smartest one! This is such a pretty piece and I love the entire vignette here! I see those cute little doggies!

Thats such a unique piece.. so happy you were able to make it work for you again.. very creative of you..~!
Great idea. I have a base & top left after the jar cracked about 3 yrs. ago and have used the base for candles off and on - need to get that fish bowl out. :-D
Sweet friend, would you please come to my house.....you're a miracle worker!. Great job!
How wonderful! I love it when I can rescue a broken item... yours is just perfect.
Warm blessings,

Wow, lucky girl to have something on hand to fit! It's a cute little gem for sure. Hope life is smiling on you today.
Glad you could restore it back to a beauty! I have something broken I need to try to find a way to fix it too!
Neat job!
