Cool Snow Globes

Enjoy glistening mornings before the world awakens. Our crystal trees in snow evoke that gentle peacefulness. Stay quiet and listen.

Two exquisite tree swallows take flight over a spray of spring blossoms showered in a silvery mist.

Hummingbirds are some of the smallest birds in the world. They weigh less than 1/2 oz, fly incredibly fast, upside-down and backwards, and have some of the most gorgeous iridescent plumage in the bird world. So, we dedicate this globe to all the amazing flying wonders that are hummingbirds.

Our globe is a tribute to the many amazing musicians who have contributed to this musical genre. Jazz originated in the early 20th Century and had its roots in African American musical traditions. National Jazz Day is celebrated every April 30th, and is also the birthday of jazz musician Louis Armstrong, once of the most influential figures in jazz history.

A crystal giraffe, a zebra and a leopard, pay tribute to the disappearing animals of the wild.

A portion of sales will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund as part of our Globes for Good Program.

"Just living is not enough", said the Butterfly.  "One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” Hans Christian Anderson.   We marvel at the exquisite yet endangered Monarch Butterfly. Plant milkweed, it’s what they love.

Celebrate the grandest season, Autumn.  A bower of brightly colored trees aside a winding stream. You cross a small stone bridge, leaves crinkle under your feet. The beauty of the season is evoked with brilliant colored leaves falling. Autumn is in the air and your senses. Scarlet colors swirl all around. 

Part of the Zen collection, our Bonsai is a welcome tool for quiet contemplation. A lone tree grows in humble repose, shaped by the weather at its sea-side perch. A symbol and reflection of the world in which it lives, none could be more perfect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "scatter joy," which is what our cherry blossoms do, as they fall and scatter in the tiny world of our butterfly.

Our sleek sloop conjures up a brisk sail on aqua seas.  Or perhaps a foray into the America's cup?  Interesting factoid: the earliest representation of a ship under sail dates from between 5000-5500 BCE and was found on a painted disc in Kuwait.

Everyone knows that a freshly raked pile of leaves is the ultimate playground. Perfect memories are made with the warm sun shining down and the brisk wind stirring color all around. Autumn Pals features a Jack Russell Terrier and Golden Retriever ready to dive headlong into the mix. Best friends at play on an autumn afternoon. What could be better?

Spend a quiet blissful moment watching the pink cherry blossoms fall and drift onto a footbridge.  Around a small pond, Spring works her magic.  Nature blossoms everywhere in over abundance. Spring lingers in the beauty of cherry blossomed trees.

The snap of a twig underfoot alerts the deer to your presence. You still your heart and watch as steam rises from the doe’s breath. Eyes meet. A quiet moment shared in perfect stillness. The fawn resumes drinking from the stream, relaxed and refreshed. Venture now as they do, back into the day, senses heightened and aware.

Who doesn't stop transfixed, when seeing the exquisite red of a cardinal, against the stark white snow of winter...

The cardinal is often referred to in folklore as connected with the number 12.  It can be seen during twelve months of the year, and it's eggs hatch in twelve days.  Stories say that if a cardinal flies into your life, good luck will follow within twelve days, twelve weeks, twelve months or at twelve noon or midnight ... or maybe the twelve days of Christmas?
