Amazing quote you've come up with ... Leonard Cohen's "There's a crack in everything - that's where the light comes in" ... so true. While I didn't know about Kentsugi - beautiful when it's done like this ... we used to mend everything possible, and I'm still pretty careful with things ... fascinating to know I can mend with gold!

Once we repaired everything possible rather than buy new, or had to as during wartime there weren't the goods available to replace them.
