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...

These People Are Serious

It wasn't enough that someone created a clock to
go on your mantel and made it a bright, flashy plastic-y gold.

It wasn't enough that there be a single unicorn or a pegasus,
it had to be a pegacorn: fiercest of the mythical beasts!

But, one pegacorn wasn't enough.
No, they had to flank the clock with pegacorns, in all of their magnificence.

But that still wasn't enough, they had to add beautiful,
realistic silk roses, frozen in time, to match the goldenish ones and adorn the clock.

This clock is the best illustration I could ever give you that
too much is never enough.

Left at the thrift store, I was unworthy.
