Il tempo è stato un gentiluomo con lei: il metallo è ossidato e lievemente incrostato, il quadrante è ingiallito, ma è davvero bella, così teneramente e romanticamente invecchiata da quella meravigliosa patina che il tempo ha posato su di lei.
I've never loved clocks and vintage ones are no exception. However, strolling thru the stalls of last month's flea market I spied a pretty clock I immediately felt drawn to. Not one minute of hesitation: I knew right away that she had to be mine (and the price was calling my name: a mere two euro only for such a little treasure).
She is such a TIMEless beauty. Time has been gentle to her: the metal is tarnished and crusty, the face has yellowed but she is such a beauty to my eye so tenderly and romantically aged by the extraordinary patina that time has grace her with.
Look at the details: shabby but tres chic!
Ed un pò di luccichio
And some bling
Hugs
Rita

OH! I do understand why you fell for her! It's an adorable little clock. I'm just like you when it comes to clocks. I dont like them much but with one exeption. Swedish Mora clocks (grandfather clocks) I just love them. Unfortunally the size is not the best. They take up a LOT of space. I have one and every now and then I try to find a better place to put it but it's impssible in our little house.:)
RispondiEliminahave a great weekend!!

Thank you for linking your beautiful clock up at Shabbilicious Friday last week. I am featuring you today at the party.
RispondiEliminaCiao Rita
RispondiEliminasul blog.. c'è un piccolo pensiero per te.. passa a trovarmi..
Elisa
O, Rita thank you dearly for being the first of my visitors, and thank you for your comment. Believe it or not I pondered for a time to or not to take the sweet cage home, I think it was its shape and the fact that it was not your run of the mill cage, and the galvanized patina was the best.
RispondiEliminaIt sits on a french chest center stage in my living room, so its the first thing you notice when entering the home :)
I love your clock and I too have a thing for them, even collecting just there faces in a box of dispaly, there is always time to create, making time for it creatively.
Thank you for gracing your beauty over at my place that makes TIME to inspire!
