A Tuesday Theme
Lately I've been thinking that since I started this blog I have been looking very judgementally (and rightly so) around the house for things that I can declutter. All a bit negative.
As a bit of light relief, I thought I might make Tuesday a day to appreciate the things that I do enjoy having around me. Not because of $$ value, but just because they are special to me for whatever reason.
Please join in - I apologise in advance if this is a bit twee or it has all been done before.
This electric clock goes back quite a way. It was actually made in 1930's and presented to my Dad much later (I think early 50's) following his long history as President / Treasurer of a local association. It used to hang in the hall, and the hall was about to be demolished.
It was stored in a cupboard for a long time (I don't think Mum really liked it whatever reason) and I found it again when I was clearing out her house before it was sold. I don't think it had been in use for at least 20 years, but worked as soon as it was plugged in! Quality tells eh.
So now I use it here. It is lovely and seems to sit well on our brick walls. It still doesn't miss a beat - as long as the power is on!

I love it.
You cannot beat quality! Your clock is just that, built to last and still going strong in todays throwaway society.
Hi
That is such a lovely clock - just looking at it tells you it's a solid piece of workmanship tha's gonna keep ticking away, come what may!!

Awesome clock! I love the unique shape of the hands -- and the logo design. Great graphics back then.
Thanks Nelly - I forgot to say in the post that it almost 14" across the face!
I agree Daffodil - the fact that it just started again after that amount of time is amazing.
Hi Keshling - thanks for commenting - it sure is solid and dependable. Hasn't missed a beat.
Hi Amy - yes it is very clear. A bit unlike our other clock which I have just included in next post. It is a little ambiguous, but I still like it.
