Web site of the week

http://www.FloatAbout.com

The snow globe's spiritual cousin has its own Web site! Keep up with the floating-pens market -- the vacation collectable was created by Eskesen of Denmark in 1946, and it's various styles have been promoted in the newsletter, Float About. Content ranges from reviews of new products, including Puerto Rican frogs, South Carolina peaches, Ohio State Reformatory, and Mr. Peanut to reports from Floatie scouts worldwide! There really is a Web site for everything -- and we obsessive collectors are glad!
