The hearth is an area of the home which the family gathers around, representing togetherness and unity.  As such, your mantle clock should be an important part of your family legacy.  Who doesn’t remember hearing the sound of a mantle clock dinging on the hours each day in Grandma or Grandpa’s house?  The sound of the clock, both ticking, and announcing the passing of the hours is an important family memory. 

Choosing a mantle clock should represent not only your aesthetic style, but also the sound by which you want your children and grand children to remember the passing of the hours.

Hummingbird-Metal-WeathervaneWhether you’ve been invited to a housewarming party, or simply know a couple new homeowners, a housewarming gift is a time old tradition which will delight new homeowners and allow you to make your mark on their décor.  For townhouses and condominiums, consider a lighting fixture.  Whether it be a lamp, lantern, or glass sculpture; chances are the new homeowners will have some area of the home that could use a bit more light.  For a house with a yard, garden decor is a great addition that new homeowners are sure not to have.  Consider statuaries, fountains, or unique stepping stones. 

 

Whatever you decide to buy, be sure to find something both you and the new homeowners will appreciate.  It will make your day to come over to their home another time and see your gift on display.
