How cute is this watch from Anthropologie? I also appreciate that these are pieced together from different vintage watches and not manufactured to just look vintage. The reviews are mixed, however. Some loved the unique watches that arrived in the mail, but others were really upset. To be fair, the disappointed customers are more likely to post a review (with photos) so it might not be an accurate gauge of the quality… but for $250 CAD, I’m not sure I want to take the chance.
It would make for a fun project, though, wouldn’t it? I would really love to find some vintage watches and put my own together. I wonder if it would be hard to do. Do you think it’s doable? How about you try it out and then get back to me…
About
Britt McMaster is addicted to cucumbers. She and her husband, Ryan, live and work in a tiny apartment in downtown Vancouver, BC. Both Ryan and Britt love to write lists of all their ideas on action sheets, and they have pages and pages. They write especially quickly after they've each had a dry cappuccino or two. Most of those fanciful ideas will stay on paper, but Cucumbersome is Britt's platform to try some out.

- @flowerpotdesign Thanks for the mention! Glad you like the necklace.
- Anthro's new window displays are so beautiful - heaps of flowers made from plastic bottles. http://bit.ly/dgTiAM
- Searching for short-ish black rain boots with big gold buttons on the side... know who posted them? Vancouver is ever so rainy.
So cute, but what if they didn’t keep the same time? That would be confusing! I guess you’d have to take an average?
These are fun to make! It is kinda hard to find working ones, but I make them often. I’ve sold a lot similar to it in my etsy shop: http://missesbird.etsy.com
I try flea markets and ebay for the pieces.
Britt!
So glad you’re posting again. Everything is lovely, as usual!
Hope you’re well.
