Today, I broke my mother's Tiffany lamp from the 1920's. Practically crying, I raced onto the computer to try to find one to order before she comes back in three weeks. The lamp is worth over twelve thousand dollars, and the only way I'm getting one is if I lived 90 years ago. FML

Clarification: I broke the lamp by complete accident. I was vaccuming my living room and I caught the edge of the vaccuum on the end of the coffee table, and the light went crashing to the ground. I did tell my mom, and she was initially upset, but the lamp itself didn't have any sentimental value, making the situation a bit better. It was a vintage lamp she got at an auction in France. Thank you for your concerns and comments, haha, I've learned my lesson.

uh, having lived 90 years ago from 2009, one would have been living in 1919, and therefore, (as also being alive today) would have also lived in 1920. ;D

Jesus Christ. I really feel bad for you. Check eBay. Good lord. It's okay boo... Maybe if you glue it you can buy some more time.

Why don't you search for spell check?

Why not ask a glass artist in your area to repair it? Make sure you have a look at other work they've done to see if they are skilled enough, as tiffany's work tends to be fiddly...not all people that make stained glass windows will be familiar with copper-foil techniques.
