I'm awarding myself a medal for accomplishing something today I fretted about for weeks -- personally transporting a fragile, four-foot tall glass artwork from a NYC gallery to my Long Island home. In the rain no less. I used a U-Haul cargo van, plenty of muscle and extremely careful attention.
Nothing focuses the mind more intensely than the prospect of a six-figure loss happening faster than you can say, "Oops." 🙂

OMG, I would have had a heart attack! I'm so glad it made it in one piece, Ally. I can't wait to see it installed in your home (I hope you will share that with us). Gorgeous piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It, and other art I collect, are destined for my future playhouse (which will be separate from my home).
DeleteSo glad you got this fabulous work of art home in one piece, Ally. I'm not sure I could have coped with the suspense! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was as bad as an Alfred Hitchcock movie!
DeleteWhew! I was thinking about you today. So glad both you and the art made it back home in one piece. It's stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sweetie. :)
DeleteWhat a thrill ride that must have been! You've never backed down from a challenge.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's me. :)
DeletePhew Ally, glad you got it to it's destination safe and sound. You sure do deserve a medal for getting it there intact.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was sweating!
DeleteOooh that would be a nail biter lol
ReplyDeleteGlad it all worked out!
