| A new way to think globally: The latest spin on antique and modern globes
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- There's a galaxy of globes out there. Celestial globes map stars and constellations. Lunar globes depict the craters, seas and mountain ranges of Earth's moon. Terrestrial globes, the most common type, represent the world's continents, countries and cities. All show places in small spheres, making them feel within reach.
"Globes symbolize possibilities," said Andy Newcom, Hallmark's home decor expert, who accessorizes his Kansas City house with globes. "They signify seeing new places and things and meeting new people."
Newcom likes how globes look grouped together on a shelf or table. Their round shape unifies a collection, even though their styles and sizes may vary wildly.
Replogle, one of two American globe manufacturers, makes more than 120 models.

Owner startles would-be burglar; suspect caught
Something drew Randy Kesselring back to his shop on Grand River in Redford long after his Wednesday business hours. He intended to catch up on some paperwork. But Kesselring ended up interrupting a burglary at his business, American Coin, about 12:30 a.m. Thursday, and witnesses at an all-night diner across the street detained a 32-year-old Redford man who now faces a charge of breaking and entering. .
Meneghini Antique Refrigerators
Although they may have an antique appearance, there is nothing old fashioned about the Meneghini refrigerators. The fridges are produced by Robeys out of materials that range from aged cherry wood to Lebanese cedar and mahogany, with solid brass handles that are sturdy and timelessly beautiful. On top of the stunning finishes, or rather within them, lie ultra-modern interiors, with natural lighting, glass shelves and even appliances (optional), including coffee makers, microwaves, ice makers and even ovens. Appliancist has some apparently exclusive photos of one of the newer models. We don't have an exact price on these units, especially since there is a lot of customization involved, but don't be surprised to see them at upwards of £20,000.
