Tick Tock

It's time once again for sweet Vee's once-a-month Note Card Party. This is a fun meme where you select four pictures, previously posted, that you think would make nice note cards.

I like to keep to a theme for my cards, although Vee says that isn't necessary. She doesn't have a lot of rules.

This month I've chosen a CLOCK theme.

Like some of you, I have a several old clocks that you have to wind. But I don't. Which can be very confusing when you have to be somewhere.

This is an empty tall clock case that I added a clock face to.

You can read all about it at

The Case of the Tall Clock
I liked this picture so much I added it to my sidebar >>>

and this is a broken but charming alarm clock that sits in an old buffet.

Poor thing doesn't have a story (that I can remember).

and these two are cropped closeups

from the wall clock above.

Cherub Pendulum

They were used in one of my very favorites posts

What Time Is It?

based on Ecc. 3:1-8

"to everything there is a season"

Although it was written two years ago,

it seems all the more appropriate today.

We have so much to be grateful for this holiday season
and I do not take it for granted.

Abundant Blessings to you and yours.

The Case of the Tall Clock

My husband recently asked me to clean my junque out of the garage.

He's SO funny!
However, in the spirit of cooperation, I decided to bring a piece of furniture from the garage into the house.

That counts, right?

I had an empty corner that was begging for something

tall and skinny. (Ha! I used to be tall and skinny)

So my sister and I lugged in a tall clock case

and set 'er down in the corner.

Perfect!

This was a display piece

I had in my store for many years.

There were no clock works

so I added a battery-operated clock face.

We're off to a good start.

Then, of course, I had to fill the empty space next to it.

So I pulled in an orphan chair

added a tray for a plant

found a big ol' pot and added one of my obsession plants

(sansevieria)

and walaa! mission accomplished.

But I couldn't leave it alone, so I added a picture.
(I can't help myself)

Then I moved the chairs back in place.

Problem is, there's so much stuff in the garage

it didn't make a dent.

And now there's just more stuff in the house /~"

Nevertheless, I'm

Counting My Blessings,

Hello Again

Fall has arrived ~ at least on the calendar.

For us in coastal Southern California it means crisp mornings, cutting back the rose bushes, light sweaters, and tennis shoes instead of flip-flops (maybe).
