I don’t know what happened to
this penguin’s toes or when it happened, but it looks like both feet are broken.
I never noticed anything wrong until I saw the photo blown up. These glass
ornaments have a tendency to shatter spontaneously, I think from the pressure
built up in the glass when it’s blown into shape. Maybe it was broken when I
bought it and didn’t notice because it’s so small. Either way, it’s not broken
enough to leave it off the tree this year. This ornament is involved in another
mystery. I don’t know how much I paid for it. There was a gigantic receipt from
Bronner’s with all 40 ornaments and several other Christmas things I bought. I
have lots of other receipts from the same trip, because I had to file a
business expense report, but I don’t know what happened to the one from
Bronner’s.
