my grandparents sent me a care package with tea bowls and money! the tea bowl that survived the trip is the prettiest thing! (ye gods I hope they weren't too expensive. but USPS Priority Mail comes with insurance, so I have asked grandparents if they want me to take photos of the shards to prove the thing broke in transit so they can put in an insurance claim.) I will a photo tomorrow when there is light!

(and money!)

ETA: my tea bowl! (pictures of broken one not enclosed, though I did take them.)

Any chance you can repurpose the pieces for some kind of art project? A mosaic, perhaps?

[alexseanchai]

I do not know. Or rather, I'm sure I could, it would just involve supplies and time that I don't have. That is a very good thought, though, thanks.

Care packages are awesome.

[alexseanchai]

yes

[redsixwing]

Yay for care packages and beautiful things!

[alexseanchai]

Yay indeed!

Oh, wow. That's gorgeous. *^^* Definitely a shame about the other one; I hope your grandparents get their reimbursement without a hassle if they opt to go that route.

[alexseanchai]

Yes nod! Grandma thinks it is unlikely that they will, since the box was not damaged (and also doesn't say "Fragile" anywhere on it), but she's going to try anyway.

So pretty! I hope you can get the broken one replaced (or at least your grandparents get compensation).

Yay money-containing care packages!

[alexseanchai]

Yes nod!

[alexseanchai]
