Tick Tock

I’m a sucker for timepieces, and while this one is neither portable
enough to wear around all day nor a cherished family heirloom, it holds a
special place in my heart. Maybe it’s the curled trunk (in the cutest of shapes
<3) or the calming blue tones. Maybe it’s the wood-puzzle-piece effect of its
shape and size. Or maybe it’s the simple fact that an animal so grand and behemoth
can look so sweet and innocent in the right context, in a child’s room. —

This would look adorable on the wall over your baby’s crib
or sitting on a bookshelf amidst nursery room classics. For a young boy or a
girl, giggle’s elephant
clock
will help pass the time and maybe even teach your little one about the
hour and minute hands that never seem to slow down.
