Tea Time
OK, this idea is a little out there, but I think it's clever.
Teacups and saucers glued (and we're talking GLUED here) to a piece of decorative wood. In the center, dial hands tell the time. What time is it? Three-Thir-tea?
ha ha. I couldn't resist.
love it!
I've seen a few tea-cup decorative things and I think they are great. I wish I had space for one like this but it would take up the whole room!

very cute and a good use of tea cups especially for people who can't resist tea cups at estate sales.

What a great idea! I need a clock for my craft room... this will be perfect. And, I have a nice selection of cups that I needed to do something with, too!

Hey, Danny - I just saw that teacup clock in a booth at the Seattle Gift Show! Fun!
PS: Did you know that visual merchandisers set clocks at 10:10 because it 'looks happy'???!!! (Both hands facing upward)

Upon first glance this clock is stunning, but the caveat is that you don't always get what you order. I purchased the clock based on the floor model a few weeks ago and went to pick it up today. Imagine my dismay when the teacups were not fine bone vintage China that are displayed in every publicity picture I have seen, but something unsightly from the 80's. The only saving grace was that the understanding Umbra staff refunded my money. I think I'll make one myself.

I saw this at the Umbra store in Toronto. I absolutely loved it! I'm considering making one for myself.

To emphasize one point- white- collar workers aren't on the timeclock system. This means that they can be made to work a 60- hour week under certain circumstances (like, say, a lingering recessionary job market). Their nominal schedule could still be 9- 5, but br/ they could work 8- 6, with occasional nights and weekends. That's just got to distort the productivity figures. Now, some of that is slack time, but that applies to blue- collar workers as well. /

To date, we have had open- ended conversations, covering everything from advice for a new consultant with lots of enthusiasm but no paid experience to fears faced by first- time entrepreneurs. I started the calls as a way to deal with an overload of great email questions and not enough time to respond to each one. It has been a grand experiment, as I am always looking for ways to reach more people in efficient and effective ways. The dialogue and advice from all participants has been the best part.
