Snowglobes

Not sure what the fascination is …
maybe the tiny make believe world?
– I know there is something about the total tackiness; for example, I wasn’t going to settle for anything other than a pope snowglobe when I was in Rome. The tackier the better.
— even Martha Stewart has attempted to elevate the snowglobe
— see if you think she succeeded, below. Maybe it’s just the utter wastefulness of time spent on something so totally without any redeeming value

Yep, I found the Pope in a snowglobe purchased in Rome in a cathedral gift shop.
