Many of you have asked where in the world I've been.

All I know is that after 7 plus years of blogging and a different lappy, which I don’t like, I seem to have lost my blogging fervor.

Someday, when you least expect it, I will post again.

For those of you still waiting I say thank you.

Meanwhile, I am rather prolific on twitter. Find me: @KeethaB

"Unboxing" In My City

.

A while back it was all the rage to make "unboxing" posts. I haven't seen any in a few years.

You're about to see one now.


This box arrived in the mail FOR ME today!


I tore right into it and - - -


Threw the stuffing on the floor.

Hey, there's a crossword in there!

Maybe I'll do it later.



I found a little card which confirmed my suspicion of what it was!



Can you guess yet???



A mantle clock from my Wisconsin bloggy buddy Cindy!!!
She had a give-away on her blog and I won.

Her hubby Dan had his students make these in Building Trades Class.


It even has a cute little drawer.

Only one problem - - - I DON'T HAVE A MANTLE!!!!


But I do have an entertainment center.

I LOVE the clock up there.

Too bad I can't see the little drawer - - -


But I think it is the "just right topper" anyway!!!

THANK YOU CINDY and DAN



Thanks to Unknown Mami for hosting

Gorgeous clock! Congrats, Keetha. It looks beautiful. Love boxed presents - it is such fun to unpack them! I have an old pendulum clock that doesn't work :D but it still sits on the wall because it belongs there. Great place to hide keys.

Yay! Super cool win of a very pretty clock! Happy Sunday!

Packages are always fun, whatever your age. I have a Christmas (!) package that just arrived at the main post office in Tegucigalpa. I can't wait to see what it is.

This is beautiful, it resembles a Stickley clock (which has become a standard "wedding gift" for me to give as of late) How about if you place a book under it to raise it a bit and then you can see the drawer? Looks great up there - what a fabulous giveaway you won!!

Linda @ A La Carte said...

Perfect win for you! Love the clock and your right I haven't seen an 'unpacking' post in awhile...maybe you will bring it all back! hugs, Linda

tinajo said...

Congrats - looks very cute there! :-)

Haha, yes - my slippers are the first thing I put on when at home, they are so comfy! Maybe I have to get pajamas pants too..! :-D

Hi Keetha,
So glad it made it there safely! And it looks perfect there too!
We spent the weekend at 3 Bears Lodge in Warrens, Wisc. (near Tomah) for a family Christmas.
Enjoy your Sunday!
Hugs,
Cindy

That is a gorgeous little clock and you found the perfect spot for it!

Thanks, Keetha, for the scoop on my blog post. I had so many problems with the link, I ended up accidentally posting it two more times. Oops.

Have a great week.

That's a beautiful clock. The kids did a wonderful job.

Jeanne said...

Keetha, I am late with my comment but life has been busy here with company for the past two weeks. thank you for your comment about my cracker jars. They are a very special part of my kitchen. I use every one of them. I envied them too when my Aunt had them on her counter many years ago.

Your winning clock is beautiful and I like it on the entertainment center. Lucky you. That is an awesome giveaway.
Hugs, Jeanne

Sorta Southern Single Mom said...

What a sweet gift. The clock face reminds me of the clock my grandparents used to keep on the top of their TV...they didn't have a mantel either!

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Now that was a great giveaway. I love the clock. Congratulations!

May said...

Thank you so much for stopping by and the wonderful compliment on the blog header. Much appreciated!!!
I have never participated in give aways, but I can imagine the sheer excitement you felt while tearing at that box...:D
Love the clock, especially the fact that they are specially made. I always have a soft corner for hand work!!! Maybe this will motivate you enough to go and get a mantle!!!!

Catching up on your posts. My parents used to ask the same question about where I was born.

What was that referring to? I was thinking I maybe had left the door open ... but now am wondering if it was my actions they were commenting on. :-)

Martin LaBar said...

It looks well made.

SixBalloons said...
