Keeping time … the old fashion way
Notes:
- Thank goodness for mechanical parts that revolutionize the concept of keeping time.
- Before that, it was the sundial and hourglass.
- Both of these are decor pieces now – and they make great vintage pieces.
- The hourglass (for this photo remodeling subject) would look great in a home library or office.

Stylish wood and brass casing
Notes:
- Hourglasses make great story-time prop pieces.
- Classic tales speak of hourglasses used to measure time before something “bad or good” was to happen.
- Simply flip the hourglass over and begin the story – your kids will love the theatrics of your tale.

1 hour to go
Notes:
- Most of your classic hourglasses measure 1 hour in time – it takes 1 hour before all of the sand slips to the bottom.
- But you can find hourglasses that have both longer and shorter time measurements.
- Decorate your room with several hourglasses – they make great decor pieces for the classic look.
