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,

  2. The clock is awesome and what a fabulous idea to fill it the way you did. One of the shops I consign at is closing so that means I must bring my junk home. More stuff, more clutter. Your room looks lovey Susy.

  5. Browsing now...and following.

    LOVE your lanterns, by the way. I am head-over-heels in love with lanterns, but never seem to get around to starting the collection I've always dreamed of. I have one sitting on a bench outside our doorway. Love how you've displayed yours.

    Thank you for sharing God's Word, and the perfect reminder that His eye is on every detail of our lives. :)

  7. Aren't you so clever to put a clock in your Grandfather Clock? LOL Really it is a very cozy corner and you did get something out of the garage. I'm suprised you still had a corner to fill.
