Vintage Clocks Remind us to Make the Most of Each Minute

We all have things we love to collect.
Right?

Sprinkling them around our homes provides a clue to our personalities.

My collections say I love history and honor the past.  

Among other things, I collect vintage clocks. 

I am drawn to old clocks,

whether they are vintage alarm clocks, stately mantel clocks or giant wall clocks.

(Yes, I collect old mirrors too!)

And whether they work or not . . . 

doesn't matter to me. 

I just adore old clocks . . .

the workmanship, the style, the timeless beauty.

Old clocks make me wonder what might have been happening in a room
while it ticked innocently in the corner.

Recently, I decided to gather my small vintage clocks and display them on my living room mantel

along with tattered books and photographs that tell a story from a bygone era.

Like most things that are displayed in a grouping,

clocks have more impact when they're rubbing shoulders with each other.

Time slips away from us so quickly,

perhaps clocks remind us to make the most of every minute. 

I'd love to know what you like to collect

and what your collections say about you.
