My beautiful blue broom

October 13, 2019 5:06 PM

I remember seeing for a sale a beautiful broom online many years ago. It was a vivid trap or aquamarine color. It was very pretty, so pretty that the person who posted the link claimed they had painted their kitchen a complementary color in order to display it publicly. I can’t find anything similar for sale online (or not for sale), just cheap plastic stuff. Did I imagine this broom or did it really exist?

It looks like this company will make a custom broom in any color you want, including teal. (Obviously, I appreciate a nice broom.)

Best answer: Sweep Dreams brooms - no longer for sale in the USA, according to the MadMats site. (Linking to whisk version for the vivd blue color; broom link in red; Amazon example in green, also listed as unavailable).
