I have great luck when it comes to stumbling across cool things in out-of-the-way places. I was in Savers (Oracle and Fort Lowell) a few weeks ago looking for some exercise shorts for the gym when I randomly wandered down the knick knack aisle and discovered this great vintage Elvis clock!
It has pictures of Elvis during his Vegas years marking each of the hours, a black center reading "King of Rock and Roll" and a gold frame.
It was damaged, missing the pictures from the 2 and 6 hour spaces so it was selling for only $3. I took it home, decoupaged two images from the internet into the missing spaces and reinforced the remaining images with Mod Podge so they wouldn't come loose. The images I chose were a scene from the film Viva Las Vegas and the cover from the soundtrack for the movie. And then, because I couldn't control my crafty side, I added black glitter to the frame to balance the play between gold and black throughout the clock.
Now I just need new batteries and a hook for my wall and I have a great vintage treasure for my home!
where did you get that clock from cause it lovely I one want one
