Empty and Forlorn Feeling Heavy Glass Washington Monument Globe WISC a woven raffia handle

a woven raffia handle

Though tightly cropped

but it remains in great structural shape and I think all the more beautiful for the wear

telling me that whoever made this broom took great care with its making

in which he wears a cap with chin strap that makes him look a little like a bell hop

Empty and Forlorn Feeling Heavy Glass Washington Monument Globe WISC a woven raffia handleKind of silly, but also kind of poignant, and I can't help but to gather little things that feel as if they encapsulate the current moment when I come across them.

No snow, no liquid, just obelisk, with some chippy paint around the base. 4" t, 2 9 16" d at
