It's a Heirloom Party and I'm sharing a special heirloom that stands in my living room. In my Grandpa's retirement he would spend time in a small shed/workshop in his backyard. He enjoyed working with wood and building things. He made many things , but for a few years he just made clocks. I am very lucky to own the largest clock he ever made and a Fiddle clock too. 
Today I share Grandpa's Grandfather clock...He even painted the face. 
He signed each clock he made with a pretty stone to dot the 'i".
His name was John Hill.
