When Andrew and I were Christmas shopping a few weeks ago he asked me what I'd like for Christmas, and the conversation went something like this: I said, "Just pick something out--I'm sure I'll like anything you get for me." I could tell my response made him a little agitated. He said, "well, I just don't know what to get for you. You like things that are chipped and broken, and I don't know how to pick those things out." I had to think for a second . . . chipped I know I like, broken was the part I had to think about. In any case, I told him not to worry about the chipped and broken stuff and that I'd be happy with something that wasn't chipped or broken. He always gives me thoughtful gifts that I love. Later when we got home I looked around to see what I could find that was chipped
and broken. A lot as it turns out. Then when I got to my mom's and looked around there, I knew for sure it just runs in the family. A few missing seashells, a broken frame, a chipped table, a chipped headboard--all perfect and beautiful to my mom and to me. In the recent issue of
Victoria, I remember
Corey saying something like if she sees 4 urns at a flea market and one has a crack in it, she'll buy the cracked one. We would too.
