Do you like Grandfather Clocks?

by Tricia

My husband just adores grandfather clocks. I’ve always liked them as well, but if he had his way we’d have a few in our home! We’ve already got an antique wall clock that looks a little bit like a small grandfather clock.

I just visited a site that has Grandfather Clocks at 1-800-4clocks and I found some very nice grandfather clocks. If I were ever going to get one for this house I might get the Ridgeway Morgantown Grandfather Clock as I like the look of the clock with it’s curved Swan’s neck pediment. Also, It’s made out of Cherry wood so it would go well with my antique dining room table set and buffet.

I was also looking at the 1-800-4clocks.com blog where they talk about all the different types of grandfather clocks, wall clocks and mantel clocks that they sell such as Howard Miller clocks, Kieninger Clocks, Ridgeway Clocks, and Bulova Clocks. I found the post about the different choices in grandfather clocks interesting and informative.

If you are also a fan of grandfather clocks visit 1-800-4clocks.com and see if you like any of the many brands and styles that they carry.

Macro Lavender blooms

Lavender flowers - close up

The other day I took this macro photo of blooming lavender. I love the delicate blooms on each lavender spike.

I grow lavender and or Salvia in front of many of my rose plants. It’s a lovely combination. Many of the roses are a light pink or light yellow and the bluish purples of the lavender and Salvia compliment the roses quite nicely.

I especially love lavender. It doesn’t have much scent unless you walk up to it and disturb the plant or purposely crush some of the leaves in your hand, but once you do the scent fills the air for a while. Usually your hand has the scent on it was well.

I haven’t done this for a few years, but this year I think I’ll gather some of the lavender blooms and dry them to make my own potpourri. Have you made your own potpourri with flowers from your garden?

BTW

I’m sorry I missed last weeks GTS. My sites were down for three and a half days! It was terrible. I had to change web hosts because of the problems I was having with my old host.

I also wanted to let you know that I added another one of my blogs to the GTS. Visit My World and see what I’ve posted for my first GTS on that site.

We went to an outdoor art show here in Toronto about two weeks ago and we found a metalworks artist that, I swear, I wanted to buy all of his pieces!

I love this propane tank pig. Isn’t it cute? The only problem was that it wasn’t cheap. Otherwise I might very well have ended up coming home with one or more interesting pieces for our garden.

I love this piggies curly tail, don’t you?
