Yes, I think that is the cutest clock I have ever seen. I too want to put mine outside, so I will add a clock mechanism, so while outside on deck we don't have to run into the house to see the time. I still would like to know whee to get the decorated garden utensils.

I found mine at Tuesday Morning, but if you'll do a search on Amazon for "decorative garden tools", several that are similar to mine will pop up.

Hi Diane. The size of the hands and other items that you use will depend upon the size of your table top. I believe that my table top was either 36", 42" or 48" (the clock was sold so I can't measure it). It would probably help you a lot if you'll refer to my blog post (link below), which includes where I got the table top, the supplies and the instructions for how I made it. Please keep in mind that mine was not functional, so I didn't include the clock mechanism that you need to make it functional. They are sold at craft stores and online though, so they shouldn't be difficult to find. https://www.worthingcourtblog.com/how-to-make-a-garden-clock/

Suzy, sorry to keep bothering you, but I do however appreciate you taken the time to help me. The clock is such a super neat idea, and yours looks so beautiful, that I don't want to mess mine up. I'll be 65 the 27th of June and I don't get out very much due to my health, so I do a lot of ordering on line. That is why I asked for the demensions and the whereabouts of where you got everything. I do want you to know that I really appreciate all the help that you have given me.

Hi Diane. You aren't bothering me at all! I'm happy to try to help as much as I can. I'm 66, so I'm right there with you. Take care!
