Glass Jars & Earthquakes

One big glass jar has broken and thank goodness it wasn't my button jar ( I wouldn't have coped). Imagine trying to pick up buttons all coated in broken glass........It was my lace jar which I've had it for years. It's only an old gherkin jar, it fell from my sewing table when the aftershocks struck. I found the jar when I got home along with my Christmas tree which was down too. Lucky it wasn't my sewing machines sitting rather close to the edge of the table! Pretty rumbly now, a bit of rocking and rolling going on here. It will probably continue through the night.......

Actually there's not much lace in this jar....
Why do I call it a lace jar?
