I'm a lover of clocks and have way more than I need so I'm not shopping,  but they have some pretty ones of all types and prices on Zulily today.  Some are very expensive but fun to look at.  Take a peek if you love clocks too.

Thanks for posting this as I love clocks too!

 

Some of those more pricy Hermle clocks have works made in Germany. I have never owned one, but have heard people say they are quality clocks.

Many years ago I use to make decorative wall clocks. I made them as gifts. I made them with stones, tile and other things that I found laying around. Some were so unique that people wanted to buy them. Wish I had taken pictures of them.

@ Kachina624     Thanks for the "Z" tip!     I am a clock fan, too!    (Probably because when I was a kid, we ONLY HAD ONE in the house.......on the kitchen wall.)     di

PS.........hot and windy here tonight.

@Desertdi  About 85° here today and not windy.  About the same for next 2 days then a nice cool down.  I'm getting a new roof and need a new swamp cooler so trying to arrange this with minimal "hot" time in June is making me crazy.  Don't have my old one hooked up yet.

@Kachina624    Sending you "good vibes" that your home repairs go well.    I had a new roof last year, and also a BIG plumbing problem.    I always PANIC when this stuff happens.    I haven't had the a/c on yet (I am always cold until it hits 105°).    I anticipate that when I "hit the switch", it's gonna go THUNK and start wheezing.    It's ancient and I probably waited too long to replace it.........di

I've spend over $20,000 replacing the polybutylene pipe in my house plus more outside from the house to the meter plus $1,000 to repair all the sheet rock they tore up plus more for excess water due to leaks.   I'm the Queen of plumbing repairs.

@Kachina624    EEK!    You've got me beat!    My plumbing was $7,000......but they tore up my driveway.......which was "extra"..........

 

Of course, the neighbors all had to come by and "watch" and ask what on earth I had put down my drains.    Yeah.....uh huh.................

i saw yesterday on fixer upper where she had a built in breakfast nook and to decorate it she put about 6 clocks on the wall next to the table. Of course - they were all old & battered - you know she loves that look. But I thought that was a neat idea.

I also think it would look neat if you had a bunch of retro midcentury clocks all together in a breakfast nook, and esp. if you could find one of those formica table & chair sets from the 50's.
