Here are some treasures we picked up from Moon Marble Company this weekend. I really enjoyed this little shop in Bonner Springs, KS. Everything from Mr. Bacon's board game to yoyos.

And I have long had a fascination with marbles. I collected them as a kid. Then during the flood in CR a few years back I spent one sunny spring afternoon in the coffee shop with Bob going through a large bin one marble at a time picking out our favorites. I have absolutely no bad memories pertaining to marbles, and if I do I don't want to be reminded of them.

Marbles are so simply decadent in my mind. A small ball of gorgeous glass, sure maybe used for a game (which is decadent enough), but usually not used for anything but being a bit of glamor in a jar.

We even got to watch a guy named Ernie make a big marble and a tiny marble. I would like to get one of those works of art some day, for now $40 marbles seem a bit too decadent. However, we did get a small hand made one for only 33 cents. You can feel where it was attached to the rod!
