Something old in something new

19 Jan

I’ve had a handful of vintage clock faces and broken bone dominoes in a bag, in a box, on top of my wardrobe, since I picked them up for a song in Margate two summers ago.

Last week I bought a stamped metal bowl from Dotcomgiftshop and before you can say “contrived vignette” an odd little table display was born…

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?

    As I’m a clock lover I must say that the clock arrangement was very well done. Thanks for sharing.
