This is a long overdue post regarding the resolution of my Great Sink Disaster of 2010.
You may remember this summer, while innocently brushing my teeth, I knocked a cup out of the medicine cabinet, which proceeded to shatter my bathroom sink. Only me. So I whined and wrung my hands and wept. You know, real productive coping methods.
A dear online friend has a real life friend who works for American Standard, the plumbing fixture company. AND SHE ARRANGED FOR ME TO GET AN ENTIRELY NEW SINK FOR FREE!!!
I even got to pick it out!
My beautiful new sink arrived several weeks ago and my friend Peter installed it.
Ta da:
Thank you Nora at American Standard and thank you American Standard (linked here; in business for over 130 years!) for your marvelous, generous gift. At a tough point in my life, people who don’t even know me made this wonderful gesture. I cannot say enough good things about Nora and the people she works for. I am so, so grateful.

I hadn't known about your sink (and at first I thought you meant the glass shattered in your sink). Well, well, American Standard pulls through! This is so awesome. It's a pretty sink, too! I'm happy for you. (And I forgive the pun.)
Hi Kathy!! Yep, it was my SINK that broke, not the $2 Pfaltzgraff tea cup. I'm surprised I am not still standing there with my jaw hanging open. I mean, who knew a sink could break?! Unless you took a sledgehammer to it.
It was an incredible goodwill gesture that I will always be grateful for, facilitated by our very own Publicist for Pricilla.
Well that just makes me a big ole fan of American Standard! Such generosity in these tough times is rare. Marie, this is due to your spirit shining through your writing to all of us out here. What goes around comes around. And, the sink looks lovely.
Yeah!
I love terrible puns...
I am way too familiar with really productive coping skills...
But I am absolutely in awe of the generosity of strangers.
Fabulous tale and the sink is gorgeous!
Your new sink is beautiful. I have heard good things about American Standard products.
