The Globe Shelf

Pick a globe. Shake it. Step inside.

 

  1. A snowy Swedish farmhouse at night with lit windows, and someone walking up the road, from a postcard painted about 1900.
  2. A pixel-art snowy mountain at night with a village hut, pine trees and a bell tower. A puffin flies by and drops a present.
  3. A snowy market square at dusk with a tall turning candle pyramid, striped stall roofs, a glowing paper star and a half-timbered town hall.
  4. A tiny village made of clay with a red cottage, a stacked green clay tree with a glowing star, and a snowman, under a thumbprint moon.
  5. A black-ink etching of a foggy London court at night with a church tower and a gas lamp. Only a few things are coloured by hand.
  6. A city block cut from flat coloured paper at night, with a theatre marquee, lit square windows and dot snow.
  7. A crooked cartoon toy workshop on a snowy hill with a smoking chimney, and a wooden toy soldier marching and playing a drum.
  8. A 1959 living room with a silver aluminium tree lit by a turning colour wheel, glass ornaments and wrapped presents.
  9. Advent window 1Opens December 1 at 6 pm.
