Ode to the Broken Globes! 117/365

Tonight's inspiration came from my husband's Fab Four childhood birthday cake decorations which have held up pretty well the past thirty years.  Some epoxy was needed here and there but I wanted to incorporate my new globe that my friend, Lynn got me, as the audience of broken globes had their moment.  For the record, I didn't break this one, it came that way which makes it special.


"If you've ever had your globe broken, this one's for you! "



What are some of your favorite Beatles songs? It's hard to name just one.

Closer: 92/365

"I feel like we are really starting to break down some walls in our relationship."


I'm sad to report that the fourth snow globe so far has broken.  The lovely blue globe above was gifted to me from Heather during our stay at the hospital.  I was careful to pack it in the suitcase carefully, but as I had a "helper" unload, the breaking accidently occurred.  

I made the mistake of throwing away my first broken snow globe, but for now I keep them all wrapped in plastic bags with their shards of glass since that is part of the fragile beauty.  As a tribute and apology for Heather, I added the lovely hair clip she made me.

This photo reminds me of this Pixar clip I discovered a few years ago with my kids, called "Knick Knack."  It also proves that plastic globes are more durable but it's the glass that I'm in love with.
