Grandmother's Clock

My Grandmother never had a clock like this.
(she had an annoying ugly brass chiming one though...)

NOONE's Grandmother that I ever knew had a clock like this. 



Imagine my utter delight when I opened the recent 
Pier One catalog in the mail yesterday....

*Mind you, I have been trying to be a REALLY good girl *

Well, let me rephrase that - 
a good girl by not buy anything Christmas related this year
:) 

Sooo....
I just thought that I would browse the catalog
innocently....

....until I turned one of the pages and saw her! 

I swear my heart did a pitter-patter

It is a skinny, slimmed-down version of one of my 
top-wanted items of ALL time.

It has been on my Christmas wish-list for a few years now...

A Mora clock!

I scratched off all my really important things to do today
feed the dog
schedule flu shots
modify homeowners insurance 
eat some truffles 

and put PIER ONE as numero UNO on the priority of things to do today

I walked into the store
(with catalog in hand)

And walked out of the store with my Grandmother's Clock
(at 20% off too!)

I cannot wait to show it to you when the house is ready to move all the *good stuff into!
*good stuff = non-building material stuff 


XOX


~ ps ~ 
thanks for hangin' on to your panties too.....
(hope you dont have a wedgie)

Tomorrow I will unveil the Giveaway!!

Marcy - that is the clock!! Can you believe it? Its only 2 1/2" deep and a little over 5 feet tall. You hang it on the wall. Once hung, it looks JUST like the real thing (Mora) only upclose do you realize its ultra thin.

If you click on the Pier One link it will take you to their website for the clock.

Now you know why I rushed out to go get it! BTW - its $80 on sale :) Alot better than a "real" mora clock, huh?
