Country Living watch!

Well, it's official. I actually saw the picture of my watch on page 32 in the July issue of Country Living magazine while standing in the frozen food aisle at the grocery store! I can't believe my work, let alone my name, is in a well-known magazine that you can find in just about any store that sells magazines! What a thrill!
That's mine at the top. The watches are being sold through the Chick's Picks boutique (http://www.chickspicksbyhillary.com/). Hillary says they're doing well so far ... so much so that I'm working on them while on vacation. But honestly, it's not really "work". It's so much fun to make these little jingley timepieces out of vintage and recycled treasures. It's The Paper Flea Market philosophy, after all!

  5. Trena, I saw this watch while waiting for a CT scan at the hospital---I love,love, love this watch---but when I went to the site, it says no longer available to order. The charm of the watch is in it's vintage look. I want to purchase one so bad. Will you be making more?
    Love your work,
    XOXO

  6. I want one of these-but the site says unavailable-can't order. I love this, because it's so vintage, charming, and a watch, too.
    Gotta have this--are you making more? When will they be available? Read this in the mag while in ER. Thanks so much, Wendy
