My son's globe has been broken since he was a little boy, but he kept it just the same. I can't wait to fix it for him for he is now in college and still loves the snow globe and what it means to him. Thanks for your blog. PS I love your pictures of your kitties!! Alison

Thank you so very much for your extremely kind words =D I cannot tell you how much that means to me. You have truly encouraged me and I am really grateful! I hope that your daughter enjoys the collection you will have for her. There is just something surreal about snowglobes. When life gets crazy as it does for everyone, looking into a snowglobe triggers the imagination of the "ideal world" and brings the "kid" out of us. Thank you again for your wonderful comment Kristy. Please let me know how your daughter likes her snowglobes =D I look forward to hearing back from you. Alison Kristy,

In all of the chaos in the US and in the world right now, it is very refreshing to hear and see websites like this and someone who sounds and seems very sweet. My daughter loves snow globes, and I am trying to start her a nice collection. Thanks for the info--and a breath of fresh air! Kristy Allison,

I took your advice and sent my snowglobe to Mr. Heibel, and I got it back a few days ago, and he did a fantastic job! I was so nervous about sending it away to someone, but I had no other choice. I got it back within 2-3 weeks or so, and it looks better than I hoped it would. For anyone who needs to get a snowglobe repaired in someway, I totally recommend him. My snowglobe was in perfect working condition, but the water had begun to turn cloudy. Now the inside is crystal clear, and it has new fresh snow inside, and lots of it. It looks beautiful. Thanks sooooo much for posting this article!! Camille Alison,

I completely understand your hesitation on mailing it. If it comes to that, just try to look at it as though you are ordering one online and they are just shipping it to you. I do hope that you can find someone in your area, but if not, I hope you have peace about shipping it. Just know that Mr. Heibel has been doing this for years and he seems to have a lot of happy customers. Make sure to ship it through a company that you feel more comfortable with... no offense to the PO, but I would probably trust in this case a FexEx or UPS, etc. Take a picture of it before you send it and it wouldn't hurt to get insurance on it. Please let me know how it turns out. I wish the best! Alison Camille,

I have a Vintage Christmas Snowglobe, thats rather large, and I loove, and I have been trying to find someone who can replace the water inside, as its starting to get cloudy. I live in Illinois, and not surprisingly, I havent been able to find anyone in this state that can do this! I might have to send it to Mr. Heibel if I can't find anyone local. I'm just leery about having to mail it to someone. But I don't know what other option I have..... Camille Thanks for posting this article.

I am sorry to say that I have not heard of anyone repairing snowglobes in New England. I am not sure of what the shipping costs would be to send it to Dick Heibel in MN, but apparently he has quite the reputable company. If you can swing it for the shipping, I would definitely send it his way. Give him a call, maybe he knows of someone near you. Let me know if you do find someone in New England and I will post their info here so others can utilize that. Thank you again Alice for your comment and good luck on your search. Sincerely, Alison (Truthoughts) Alice,
