The Thing About Clocks

 I love clocks.

I love them in all shapes and sizes. 

I love how they look in a space; 

how they add warmth, character and functionality.

Well, if you take the time to replace the batteries, they're functional. 


These are a few my favorites from around the house. The one shown above sits on the mantle and is my newest clock purchase.
 Even though it's new, I love the old, vintage feel.

 You've probably seen this clock if you've read my post about our kitchen. It's still one of my favorites even though it takes me weeks after the time change or the battery runs out to get around to resetting it. 
 It's not exactly the handiest clock to reach. 

 This clock is made by Bassett Mirror Company.

This sweet little guy was given to me by my SIL, Gina and hangs in my work room among who knows what all. 

This clock was one of those purchases where you have no idea where you'll use it but you know you love it. 

It hangs in my bathroom above the tub.   

I recently gathered this little group together to sit on a shelf in the guest bath. If you've got random, small clocks scattered throughout the house you might consider bringing them all together in one space as a collection. 

This one will always be special. 

Years ago when my sister, Sheri and her husband were remodeling their 100+ year old farmhouse, much of the original trim had to be replaced.  Sheri was able to salvage some of these square corner blocks. She turned a few of them into clocks. This one shows the many layers of paint through the years. 

I have to constantly remind myself when I see a great clock (especially a unique one) that I really don't need it. 

Or have a place for it.

 But it doesn't stop me from admiring it. 

That said, I am on the lookout for an over-sized, outdoor clock for our back porch. Purely for function, of course.
