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...
