~ French Alarm Clock ~


A few days ago my friend and I spent the entire day thrifting
I was so excited when I spotted this perfectly chippy antique french alarm clock
It was only $5.00 
Yay! ;)
I love the fabric covered roses box that I found in the same store
It was only $12.00 and reminds me of something from Cabbages and Roses



I decided to take a few photos of my french alarm clock displayed in different ways







It matches perfectly with my $1.99 thriftshop pillow shams in the living room




Isn't it cute?!
~ I hope you had a wonderful weekend friends ~
Hugs,
Rachel

    Your little alarm clock is very cute... i love it! I also love all the different ways you displayed it.
    You must have the best thrift stores because I never find anything that cool at our thrift stores here.

    You really are lucky to have found that chippy white french clock for only $5. I about feel off of my seat because I have seen them in blogland with a pricetag of $50-80. Yippee for you! it looks great in your farmhouse. ox

    That sweet little clock would look lovely anywhere! I do like it in that wooden carry-all. :-) I'm trying to find some olden clocks but haven't had any luck. I let my SIL have the one I was looking at in a little shop, thinking I would be able to find another. so far- no luck! But there's always another yard sale in the future.... :-)
