It’s Skagen-blossom time…

Whilst floating about my parents’ gardens today (on a visit for Father’s Day), photographing their fruit trees that are all in blossom in defiance of the chill, what should I spy in the nectarine tree but a pretty strange piece of fruit: a silver Skagen watch!

If only…

A more truthfully painted picture: determinedly I march my sister Star about; ruthlessly tug her arm into pleasing compositions; force her to stand on garden seats; bark instructions. “Think graceful! No claws! Shake that hand out!” When she proved somewhat dissatisfactory as a model (ie, she got bored), I banished her back indoors, minus one watch. It was much easier to work with I must say: gave me no sass back.

My sister’s desire for a Skagen watch actually came through her admiration of my own Kenneth Cole watch. After an epic hunt online, Skagen HQ in Denmark directed them to their ‘only’ Australian retailer: the department store David Jones. On their way through the mall to DJ’s, they spied this very watch in another jewellery boutique.

I wonder if Skagen knows their product is actually available on eBay? In fact, they commonly grow on trees these days too.
