They say to always expect the unexpected, but this one I didn't expect....
Most everyone knows I have been busy trying to get things at the farmhouse back in order, two weeks ago this cabinet was one of my projects. Saturday while passing through I happened to look at my supposedly clean and organized hutch,and noticed some red sticky stuff on my dresser scarf, upon further investigation I found shattered glass on both shelves along with this red gooey stuff.
~Story~
A Canadian friend, who knew how much I love Anne Of Green Gables, sent me a bottle of raspberry cordial. I had had it for a couple of years, and was just keeping it as a souvenir. Upon my investigation I discovered that it had exploded into a thousand pieces, I mean literally a thousand pieces.
There was slivers of glass everywhere in the cabinet, on both shelves, the cordial had drained outside on the buffet server, down the back of it and had ran along the baseboard on my new floors. It was a mess to say the least. It took me 2 hours to find all that glass, and clean this mess up. Besides the raspberry cordial, not a dish nor glass was broken.

What I don't understand is how this bottle sat in this cabinet for three years, and withstood packing and unpacking and then just decided to explode. What I am thankful for is that it didn't explode in my hands while I was unpacking it and placing it in the cabinet. ~smile~
"There, there, sweetie everything is going to be just fine, Mama has you all cleaned and ready, now doesn't that feel better?"
From now own, I will drink the juice, and put colored water in the bottles. LOL.
Note# Thank you so much to all who visited my Notecard Party post. I am looking forward to getting to know my new friends.
Enjoy your day.
