Lin and Michael’s Photos

We bought some glass fishing balls in Japan many years ago.  The balls are used for fishing floats. They came with some netting so you could hang them.   We made a blue one into a hanging lamp and had it hanging in our living room window for a number of years.  Now we have a red one and a blue one hanging from our deck.  The nets are getting old and one finally broke about a month ago.  We have been trying to find some new ones but didn’t have any luck.  So when we got off the boat in St Michaels we noticed two men making some nets.  This gentleman started making nets when he was 15 years old and he is now 85 years old.  We told him what we were looking for and ended up buying a shopping bag made out of netting and another net.  Then he told us that he had just gotten an email from someone asking if they could make a net for some glass fishing balls.  It’s a small world.    I promised to email him a picture of the ball in the net.  He said if it didn’t work he could make one bigger or smaller.
