Get clocked!

I don't know why, but there have been lots of fabulous clocks at the thrift store the last couple of visits. I tried to be strong, but ultimately couldn't resist...

This resin beauty is filled with quartz. It was large, heavy and had a rustic elegance. Rustic elegance? I'm not sure how else to describe it. If I had a mantle I would have bought it. Or if it had been cheaper, I would have bought it for a future, as-yet-unowned mantle.

On another trip, I spotted second smaller version (only filled with shell) and I would have snapped that one up, but the top was broken. What is this phenomenon? I've never quite seen anything like it...

I finally gave in to the clocks being pushed on me by the universe when we spotted this lovely wall clock. It is one of those classic sunburst-type clocks, but with the Rococo swirls that made it irresistible. Unfortunately, it is missing one of the little finials, (Oh, you didn't even notice, did you?) but I think I will find something clever to replace it with--or maybe Molly will make me a little piece of glass to go on the end! Hmmmm?

It looks brilliant with the trophies...
