Le Cirque Clock

Been thrift store shopping again... Found some totally awesome pieces. I just get such a rush when I find something cool for such a cheap price. This clock was $2.00... yea, I know!

I totally think I need to have my own American Pickers show! (only problem is that I'd end up keeping everything rather than selling it for a profit - LOL!).

I love altering things in a simple way. This clock originally had a face with a Rooster on it and red ringers (and a cockadoodledoo ring).  When I saw it I immediately thought that Graphic 45's Door Knobs could easily replace the ringers. All I'd have to do was put a cool image on the face using some of their papers! 

When I got home, I took the clock apart, removed the face and replaced it with a bright image from Graphic 45's Le Cirque Collection.  Thankfully I was able to put everything back together.  I then removed the original ringers and replaced those with some Geometric Door Knobs that I had painted red and finished with some glossy Mod Podge to match the shine in the body of the clock.

Thanks for your visit today!  I've been a little out of sorts as of late.  As I mentioned, all my little ones are quite sick - my daugher has had croup for the past few days and lets just say mommy is in desperate need of some sleep... Very scary but I think we are finally on the road to recovery. Take care everyone - be back tomorrow to announce the ZVA Creative Blog Hop Winners.
