What fabulous globe creations! So many people I know are into globes and maps, and with the holidays coming up these would make terrific gifts. Great finds as always, Grace!
Oh and thanks so much for your great response to my email about those chairs. I can’t wait to spend some time this weekend giving them a little love (after checking to make sure they’re not a hot item on eBay, of course

Wow your Blog is has everything it in I love! I stumbled upon it while doing a search query for an article I’m writing on Vintage Planters. I’m bookmarking this and checking back often. Love it!
You have a good site, i enjoyed my stay!
I made a lamp exactly like that a few years ago… Seeing this pic brings me back good memories. I might just start making them again
Very exceptional pieces of information. Very nice webpage though. I applaud
I love this site, so thank you
I stumbled on your blog – I love the chalkboard globe idea. now I need to go out and find a globe!
If you can only get your hand on one globe, but you want to try the idea globe and one of the other ideas, you could make a paper mache mould of the globe and paint that with the chalkboard paint, then use the actual mappy globe pieces for another project.
@Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?
