This purchase was a special gift to myself for making it through a very rough time in my life.  I thought the clock was very pretty and decided to order it. Okay, this clock was very pretty in the picture, and when I received it I am still so impressed and blown away by the artistry, this clock is hand-painted.  I am a fabric artist and a bit daring, but classy, in my decorating style.  This clock so fits ME, I cannot even decide where to spotlight this clock. Thank you for offering such a tasteful product!! I should have bought 5!
