Another Repurposed Drawer Clock

Only this time it was a custom made piece for my sister-in-law.

I normally don’t do custom pieces…

I found that I enjoy the experience of creating more when I am creating from my ideas.

BUT…

this clock was for family.

I donated it to my niece’s school fundraising auction.

My sister-in-law came up with the concept of LOVE IS

and my niece and her classmates wrote on the clock face

what LOVE means to them.

Cute huh?

And on the back…

I glued a vintage looking tag with my blog name on the back.

    Love it the second time too. The tag is fabulous...where did you ever find that.

    Looking for drawers suitable for this project...maybe the next big flea market. :)

    Love it! I know what you mean about not being so keen about custom pieces - they make me nervous! I'm always worried they won't turn out as expected in someone else's eyes. I think you did a fantastic job and I'm sure everyone was very pleased!
