Watching the Clock

I’m hoping that somehow time will slow down this weekend so I can get everything on my list of projects done.  One of my projects just might make me go Cuckoo but that’s a good thing.

You see, early this year I spotted this image on Pinterest and fell in love with the idea of finding a cuckoo clock at the flea market and painting it.

Then I started seeing more fabulous images of cuckoo clocks in décor and my excitement grew.

 

And then a couple of months ago my thrifting adventures put a clock very similar to this in front of me.

 I was at an auction and this clock was one of the last items up for sale.  I bid, thinking I wouldn’t win it but shockingly I walked away with the clock for $20.

‘Yeah Me’ was my thought until I started doing some research and discovered that the clock I purchased was a 1960’s German Black Forest Cuckoo Clock and was selling anywhere from $100 to $300 on Etsy.

The designer in me says paint it but the Etsy shop owner in me says sell it.

  What’s a girl to do?

I guess I need to add “decision-making” to my to-do list this weekend.

If this clock was yours, would you paint it and leave it alone?  Inquiring minds want to know!
