Howard Miller Majestic II Grandfather Clock
Earlier today I was reading a humorous blog post about a goat eating the mantle clock of a town’s mayor. After ready a couple more post I learned that you can also spell the word “mantle clocks” as “mantel clocks”. Just a little tidbit there. So anyway, it made me remember about the old clocks in my grand-parents’ home. They had various clocks around the house but the 2 that stuck out were the mantle clock in the living room and the grandfather clock in the study.
The grandfather clock was a work of art with it’s low hanging swinging pendulum and curved wood designs. Standing 7 feet tall it was quite impressive and added a bit of class to the decor. I always coveted the time piece but in the inheritance it went to my cousin. Recently, I’ve been thinking of it and I wanted to get one for my home. At 1-800-4clocks I came across the Howard Miller Majestic II Grandfather Clock which is breath taking. The clock has a special cast dial that offers elaborate corner spandrels and center disk with an astrological, blue moon phase. The special cast design continues on the brass weights and pendulum. The clock features a total of six glass shelves for presenting collectibles. Three adjustable shelves run across the entire width of the cabinet behind the moving pendulum. It is just magnificent!
When I bring this home for Christmas my wife is going to be ecstatic!
0Zenni Optical Provides Affordable Eyeglasses
Prescription eyeglasses have always been a health item but as of recently they have gotten more fashionable as a style item. The price for some of these eyeglasses are outrageous but I recently read an article on cheap eyeglasses by Eric Hammer for the Examiner. By reading this article I learned about a company named Zenni Optical who manufacture their own brand of eyeglasses and sell them at low cost starting at $8.00.
Zenni Optical has many types of eyeglass frames ranging from plastic to pure titanium, aluminum alloy to even rimless. Their holiday eyeglasses are as festive as they are cheap. Funny, quirky, and conservative frames make the choice easy for any one in the need of eyeglasses.
