I'm not sure where to begin??? Mommy butterfingers here dropped Tess's "Baby's First Christmas" ornament - a little mini snowglobe. Poor Tess is heartbroken :(

NPR did a story on a guy in Minnesota who fixes snowglobes a year or two ago. I have no idea why I remember this. Perhaps you could do a search on their site?

Good luck!

The whole little glass globe shattered :( I did get a response from a website in CA. Looks like $30 to fix - I'm going to search Ebay to see if I can find an identical "1998 1st Baby" ornament LOL.

Oh no I am so sorry. I am glad you found one in CA, but I sure hope you find it for less. I don't know how to fix the globe part unless you could substitute it with another one and epoxy it. Or custom make your own out of modeling clay and attatch the globe. I have seen them at Franklins in years past, not been there in a long time though.
