FAVOURITE THINGS FRIDAY

It's Friday again so I'm joining Mrs Pyjamas in Favourite Things Friday.
Just click on the button on my sidebar and take a look.


Today my favourite thing is this.....


 I love this clock.
I'm not particularly a clock lover or collector.
I don't know what kind of clock it is.
It's not terribly valuable, I just love the look of it.

It was an  present from Tony years and years ago.

It has a little brother.


Don't remember where he came from but he lives in my bedroom and the big fellow takes pride of place on the hall stand in our entry.

Cheers.

    They are both really lovely. I used to have a clock like that, I inherited it from my grandmother. It was painted with beautiful tiny roses on a black background. Unfortunately the humidity here ruined the paint and it all peeled off, then one of the cats knocked it over - I no longer have it:(

    They're beautiful classic clocks arent they Helsie? My Mum has one she inherited from her mother and I've always loved it.

    It's wonderful you have a pair! The little one is so cute!

    Thanks for linking up again this week. I always enjoy seeing your posts.

    My brother, since deceased, gave one of these to my mother who cherishes it to this day.
    They are classics.

    Hi Helen,
    Lovely clock! I can't believe you're hot there and we are absolutely freezing today! No snow thank goodness though.
    I had a carriage clock when I got engaged in 1981 from the company I worked for.All the men put together for it and they had it engraved for us. I treasure that clock. I've only had one breakdown in all these years and its just so sentimental! I treasure it.
    have a nice weekend.
    SIBOL hit the magazine today! Pop over click on the picture and then click again it goes bigger!
    Hugs Suex

    I love that you have a big one and a little one. Hope things are getting back to normal down there, and the clean up is going well.
