que hora es?

what time is it?  

bought this Timex kid's watch for a song at the carboot sale last saturday too.  problem was, it wasn't working.  the lady selling it said it prolly just needed a battery.
so off i went to the indian shop and bought a teeny-tiny battery that cost more than the price of the watch!  good news was, it is now tick-tocking happily :)  


but how can i update the look?  i love the fun purple elastic band but i wanted to make it look more current and also appropriate for me (without losing the fun factor, of course)
 the solution? RIBBONS!
and the best part is: i can change the ribbons anyday, anytime, anywhere to any color and design i want!
please excuse the upside-down-ness of my watch in the last pic.  i didnt notice it till i was reviewing this post :)

time to pay more attention to details!

    That is ADORABLE! I love the idea of using a ribbon...YES and now you can change it with your mood...VERY CLEVER indeed.
    Have a wonderful week,

    Brilliant idea using ribbons! I like kids watches/ jewelry, too - sometimes it's more fun to wear. :)
