flea market finds


this little beauty is my fave find of the week. white wind up alarm clock made in czechoslovakia $2 at a local oppy. 
i love it. 
others in the house arent so keen with his ticking and i must admit i kept having little moments where id panic at the sound coming from the back seat while driving him home. now its grown on me and i find it quite soothing and as he now sits on my sewing table he doesnt bother anyone! : ) 
check out everyone elses market finds at sophies.

    MY husband would love this. He has a Russian one that I always hide as it is so loud. He FINALLY worked out how to set his mobile alarm.

    Very cute clock - does it keep good time? I used to have one and was too lazy to wind it often enough to stop the alarm going off 15 minutes late!

    isn't it amazing how loud ticking clocks are. my younger daughter Miss C wanted one to get her up in the morning until she heard how loud it was and it was quickly kicked to the kerb and now lives with me. i love the sound of a ticking clock too. it reminds me of my childhood.

    Be careful - clocks can become an addiction.
    Every now and then we have one that clicks louder than usual. I think it is just looking for more attention.

    arent Flea markets fun? I love them I go to one in Florida every Wed morn fresh fruits and veggies .The vendors have all kinds of stuff some junk but many neat old things also .It is a hard habit to break not to go to these places or garage sales also .
