LOL I was just playing around with you. You know I see so many possesions tearing apart families when someone passes away that holding such an importance on a piece just isn't worth it sometimes. :(

osuche, I have bought some of them on location, but a lot of them (most of them) come from my parents :)

osuche, the clock is wood is what I would call a mantle clock, it has a round face in the center with some columns on either side that sit between horizontal pieces of wood that are faux painted to look like marble. The whole clock is painted in a deep green to go with the marble. It does require a key to wind it and chimes on the hour as well. Somewhere along the way I have misplaced the key and that really bothers me.

I suppose mine would be my home in the country. I so much value the peace and quiet that my home and land brings me...keeps me sane!

I agree rabbit. I guess if I have a prized possession that would be it for me too. :)
