Funny that Colleen should mention my "dark office" at the Knickerbocker Bank. The newest addition to my collection is a black sand hourglass, which I notice is available at Paxton Gate. I don't use clocks or watches (they just don't work around my magnetic field, it's no big deal) so timing a meeting can be tricky. The hourglass is a little over the top, but you have to do something to keep the gray conformities at bay. My story is that I like the design, but mainly I like that it's black.
I bought it during a recent lunch time walk when I popped into Area, a very cool store in Jackson Square. There's a lot of, shall we say, "hand" and "blown" going on in there. They also have the next thing I'm going to buy when I need to spend $600 to feel better: a carved elk head. (It's on their so-not-intuitive site under
"accessories." Good luck finding it. The site wouldn't let me snag the photo, but I found a different one anyway, na-na.)
Since I didn't have that kind of big money on me that day, I stuck with the hourglass for $30ish and a bunch of lottery tickets from the liquor store up the street. Remember the Massachusetts state lotto motto: You can't win if you don't play.
