Old-Fashioned Timer, New Look

These delicate, hand-blown sand hourglasses immediately caught my eye at the Indigo Fall Preview. Two sizes (the small runs for 15 minutes and the large for an hour) and four, pretty sand colours make these functional beauties perfect desk accessories. They’re also great in the kitchen, on a bedside table or even in a playroom – just make sure they’re up high and in plain view. I think the two sizes look great side by side and what’s more? You’ll be showing off homegrown talent – these treasures are Canadian made!
