Anyroad.... someone who shall remain nameless sat the light on the lounge in his office (you guessing who that someone is now......) well we have 5 cats...one of them wanted to aww check out the new light....there was a computer monitor on the floor beside the lounge....cat jumped, light slipped.....SMASH was all i heard. Then all the neighbours heard was my high pitched shriek followed by a fair amount of cussing (yes yes i cussed big time, cmon you would have too).
So...we order a new dome...wrong one is ordered, it goes back, we order another, the right one this time....lalalala,6 months goes by and gee that light is still not up yet!
To the rescue comes Corey, my niece Beckas boyfriend. 2 weeks ago the light FINALLY went up.
Picture me HAPPY DANCING like a complete tool all over the place.
Here's my beautiful light...oh how i love it.
Well...i did love it. I'm starting to think i just wasn't meant to have this light.
Once it was up, Corey and Shane decided it needed tightening on the bottom.....so Corey starts to turn the bottom piece...that's when i heard it...CRACK...and Shane yelled STOP and i just stood there in total disbelief.....(then i cussed some more).
You know when something happens and you just think WHERES THE HIDDEN CAMERA? AM I BEIN PUNK'D?? Because this just CANT BE HAPPENING !!!!
But it did. Look and see.
Are you sitting there cussing with me?
Every time i walk into the front room i wanna cry. I know we are going to have to remove the dome and order another one because every time the light goes on, the crack gets worse.
So you see now why it's my nightmare? LOL. I gotta laugh or I'll scream.
*** Ok so next week i am DEFINITELY having a GIVEAWAY of the PINK kind. make sure you pop back and spread the word too !
Have a gorgeous and fantastic weekend! I'm off to Rick Rutherford's shop tomorrow to talk with him about my Christmas line.
Love Shann xxoo

I truly understand your frustration, but just go ahead and order a new dome and be done with it, sweetpea. Then all the frustrations will be gone and you'll have a fantastic light! I love loooove, LOVE it by the way, chick! I'd be thrilled to have such a light. Just beautiful.

Ok breathe and order a new bottom bowl... they are so delicate these lights! But it is pretty!! Hugs
Oh Shannon that is a nightmare.
Hope it all works out in the end as it is a pretty light

Ohhhhppps!
I recall the time the kitty wreaked it.
Now this! Yikes!
Shann, I would have cracked it too!!! Especially since the light is so gorgeous.
Hope you are having fun up at Rick's store.
~S~
Better to laugh about it than go nuts. Just order another and things will be good again. Take care Carol
Oh Poo Shannon! That is just sad! I know how you feel, I have a six month old puppy who takes and sees if he can get his teeth on anything pretty I make or have! Hang in there! Suzie
heya lovely....
all I could think was nnooooooooooooooooo... but ya know something? once I had a few sips of coffee (to calm my nerves I had a thought...kindly note it IS 8.30AM on a Sunday so I'm impressed LOL)the crack makes in not perfect and well gives it some character.... sometimes in lifes little cracks and imperfections... its still beautiful!!! and has character...
luv ya hun
Vic xxxx
Oh yeah I would have been cussing too ! It really is a beautiful light and when all is well you can laugh , until then keep on cussing !
It just wasnt meant to be, it looks so gorgeous though!! Will you order another dome ( and do it up yourself )..?
OH Dear!!!!
I hate to say it Shannon but I had a little giggle when reading this post!!!! I was thinking 'NO! this can't be happening'. I would have been upset too. It still looks nice with the crack. It looks fragile, so be extra careful with the next one.
