Can you stand it?
My friend Jenn,
also my business partner
as many of you know....
is about to become
famous with this unreal snowglobe
she made for me.
Is this cute or WHAT?
She made two different versions
in old vintage gumball machines
and this one came home with me!
Isn't it amazing?
It knocked my socks off....literally!
"Thanks for the gumball!"
(Does anyone out there remember
that old commercial too?)
LOL
Oops. I am dating myself.
Oh my goodness....sooooo cute! I can see why it knocked your socks off!
ReplyDeleteIt truly is magical! Just perfect for the holidays! Happy holidays!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog on the sidebar of SSS. What a beautiful home you have created. and I love the gift your friend gave you. I also liked seeing the plaid lunch boxes -I had one of those -wish I still had and I got a kick out of the commercial.-I remember it :-)" Buy more gumballs" Thanks for the delightful post.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the cutest snowglobe I've ever seen.

How cute is that, Alison!
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful! As I sit here at the computer everyday I see the gumball machine from my inlaw's old grocery store. I believe it will become a snow globe soon. Great idea - thanks for sharing. Sally
ReplyDeleteDarling! Lucky you! {I want one!}
ReplyDelete:)Heidi
That is so sweet! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteHow cute I want a gumball machine now!!! I love the deer where did you find it he is too cute
ReplyDeleteVery clever. Why can't I ever think of things like this??? The possibilities are ENDLESS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea--so cute!! (BTW, I had that bottom lunch box as a child...) :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is so creative. I don't remember that commercial.
ReplyDeletesoooooo cute. and now you've got me wondering how one's socks are LITERALLY KNOCKED OFF cuz that is a funny image you created right there! hA!

Wow! 1972! The commercial looks like it was made in the '50's! I don't remember the commercial, but that was the year I graduated from high school, so I'm sure I had many more important things to think about! Ha!
ReplyDeleteThe gum all snow globe is wonderful!! I'm not too good at reading lips, but I think the reindeer is saying "please, let me out!"
I love it. How "out of the box thinking" is that?! I just saw a great little red gumball machine at the antique mall...may have to go back and snatch it up! Really, really love yours!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just watched the video...I acutally had the Mickey Mouse gumball machine...I still remember pulling the lever! Thank you for sharing that and for the walk down memory lane. I think we are the same "date" lol
ReplyDeleteIt knocked my socks off too. LOVE it! Love the little reindeer and bottle brush trees. Oh,so cute!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to have such creative FRIENDS!! Very cool snow globe.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes i do remember that commercial. My sister and i say that line all the time to each other...."Thanks for the gum ball popeye!"
xxo-j
Alison, this is the cutest idea I've seen in a long time. How original! Knocked my socks off too. Looks perfect sitting beside your plaid lunch boxes. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays! ~ Sarah
That is the neatest thing I have seen in a long time, I would bring it home too!!!! Love it! What a great friend and partner. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteWow, I Looooove that! It is adorable. What a great, one of a kind snow globe! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteJulie
I think this is right up there with the best globe ever! How creative! I'll be on the hunt for a gum ball machine now. Love the lunch boxes too. Have a great holiday season, Laura
ReplyDeleteI have one of those vintage gumball machines in red. It never occurred to me to turn it into a snow globe. My use for it is very uncreative - it's sits on our kitchen counter and is full of gumballs. Go figure........
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I in love! I have a red one right now! I wonder if I can do this?! hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteOh my!! I love your new gift; what a wonderful and creative friend! And, that commercial made my day. I remember that one... the 70's were the best times ever!
