i was so sad when i broke my favorite olive oil cruet, but my husband didn’t see it as something that needed to be replaced. he put the pieces back together using the japanese art of kintsugi — repairing what’s broken and making the cracks part of its beauty. i love the meaning behind it: the things that have been broken aren’t necessarily less beautiful or less worthy. sometimes, the marks they carry are what make them more meaningful. now every time i reach for it, i’ll see the little golden cracks and think about how something i loved was worth putting back together. 🤍 maybe that’s the beauty of kintsugi — not pretending something was never broken, but honoring the story of how it was repaired. ✨ the kintsugi repair kit set we used is now linked on my amazon storefront #kintsugi #slowliving #MindfulLiving #simpleliving #homedecor
