Gift Ideas - MORE Shameless Self Promotion!

 

Today's entry is about a little side business I started last year - as if I didn't have enough to keep myself busy...um...occupied...insane, YES, that's it! INSANE - but it's something that's near and dear to my heart.

For those who know me and Jae, my husband, you probably are aware of our passion for reading. Honestly, more Jae's than mine. He's voracious. I'm merely obsessed. Add this love of books to a love of design, a love of children and a love of clocks and this was destined to happen. Here is the mission statement that is included in my product:

With  Storytime™  Book Clocks I have found that a love for my favorite books from childhood, and a longing for the time to read them over and over and over again, have inspired me with the idea to re purpose books that are no longer readable while passing on the desire to read to a new generation.

I also offer some other options as well.

I can custom-make a clock for you using your favorite book or even search to find a title that you have always loved and create a one-of-a-kind timepiece from that volume as a gift for a friend or loved one, child or adult.

As with the books on display, the finished clocks are of variable prices, always taking into account the age and rarity of the book and the difficulty in the loving labor that is involved in its transformation.

I hope you enjoy these literary timepieces as much as I have enjoyed crafting them for you.

So, here are a few pictures of my clocks for you to peruse:
