My husband and I went Estate sale-ing last Saturday and he surprised me with this purchase.
Well, we all know it is the wood from a long gone clock. It is very old though, and my husband said, you can do something with it! The challenge was on!
Oh I looked at it and looked at it and said to myself..."What would Mamie Jane do?" She is my guru for making something out of things I would probably throw away!
So, I came up with something. And my hubby, he was impressed!
I purchased the cloche cover at another sale the week before. It is all etched.
All the bunnies went into hibernation and the birds flew in!
I am joining Marty for Tabletop Tuesday and Our Home Away from Home and WOW.and Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson.
Tomorrow I must show you my Grands and Easter day....what a riot!

That looks awesome Ceekay. Great use for someone else's throw away. That cloche is amazingly pretty too.xx
I love what you did with the old clock piece and I think your husband was a sweetie for buying it for you! You came up with a great idea....I'm going to be putting my Ceekay hat on!!

You're amazing! I wouldn't have known what to do with that piece. It looks wonderful with your vignette on it. Love that gorgeous cloche too. Hope you had a blessed Easter.
Be a sweetie,

Very creative use of the old clock!
Loved your guest post and seeing your home!
It's almost time for my bunnies to hide in their Easter totes!
Warmly,

fun idea, it turned out really great. And I agree, Jane can put some fabulous things together!
Ceekay, you are amazing!! What a beautiful vignette you created...I don't think I would have thought out of the box like you did! Your Easter posting was so inspiring and I just love the words you put to pictures. Easter blessings to you and your family.

It is so creative, you could use that to put hor d'oeuvres under the cloche and crackers and dishes on the long end....lol..endless fun things, love the cloche and the etching..
I've always said you are very creative! Who else would have thought to use a clock and cloche like that. Wonderful idea!
Candy
Well, look at that! You were chaneling your inner Jane there. It looks great like that.
I have to say that was an extremely creative idea, and it looks fabulous - welcome to the birds who flew in, too!
Well, aren't you clever? That looks so pretty, and oooo that etched cloche is gorgeous. Looks like something I'd see over at Mamie Jane's! laurie
