Legend has it that the evil spirit is attracted to these colorful balls, pulled inside, and trapped within the glass web, protecting the home from harm. It is said on Cape Cod that fishermen have used these mesmerizing balls in their nets to ward off evil spirits on the high seas. Made in three different sizes, these are hollow glass balls with glass inclusions (webs) made inside the balls. Legend has it that these webs will attract and hold all unwanted thoughts and spirits.

Build A Strong Local Economy:
Local merchants are your friends and neighbors and when you shop locally, your dollar is more likely to stay in our community. Local, independent businesses assist the community through a “multiplier effect”: one dollar spent at a locally owned business will return five times that amount within the community through city taxes, employees’ wages, and purchase of materials and supplies at other independent businesses.
