While staying in Yardley we went to this awesome flea market called The Golden Nugget, where you can find lots of cool stuff. This clock table was incredible; they were all ticking away furiously and it sounded surreal. I was enamored by the yellow one, so I bargained it down to half price, took it home, and then got sort of obsessed with taking pictures of it for 5 minutes (it's so little and cute and perfect). It winds up and has a very persistent tick, which depending on my mood, can make me feel either like being productive, or anxious - the other night I was having weird dreams and I got up to shove it in a pile of sweaters in my dresser. It now sits proudly on my desk.
I grew up with various vintage and antique clocks ticking and chiming all around the house. That is a wonderful memory. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! That clock is AMAZING!! I spotted it in the first picture and got a little obsessed with it myself. :) If you ever go back... I might have you so in search of one for me and then reimburse you. Or... I'll come and visit you in MA and we can go together. :D
