IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.


I adore clocks!  There, I said it.  Some of my friends think I am a little clock crazy.



I hang clocks in my farmhouse like one would hang a painting.  I like them big, I like them small.



I have some like these that hang on a bracket from a beam.


 I have huge clocks hanging all on their own on a wall in my studio and I have some grouped together.



I just adore them.  The funkier the better.  Old ones, new ones I always have my eyes open for a new addition.


 




I just inherited my grandmother's French Mobier clock and how I love it.  It strikes twice on the hour and looks very much like this one but the scene on the top is a farming scene just perfect for my house. I also have her Wag on the Wall and I already had one of my own.


I love whimsical clock and I even love this clock cake.
 
 I just purchased this clock for my cooking kitchen.  I just love it.  It is new but it has that worn look I love.  Including wall clocks, a grandfather clock, the Mobier, two Wag on the Walls and assorted table clocks this is my 20th. clock. What does this mean.  I am obsessed with time?  I am chasing time?  Do I cherish every minute of the day?  Or do I just love the look of a beautiful clock.

Whatever the reason there are a lot of clocks out there and I still have lots of room.

What will my friends say!

    I think you just appreciate the beauty of heritage. I love my digital alarm clock in the bedroom because the numbers are big and bright in the dark. But when I want inspiration of eras gone by, there is nothing that can replace real clocks. Hugs to you, my lovely friend. Mina
