I mentioned before that I wanted to show you a clock I bought for one of the kids’ rooms. I still haven’t decided where it will find a home. It actually isn’t from etsy but I am going to show you one of my favorite clock shops on etsy in a moment. I found this first sweet clock on Design Mom when she was doing a giveaway from the online store My Sweet Muffin. Along with the giveaway the store was giving 20% off any purchase. I typically don’t run and buy things just because they are a little on sale but I took a look at the store anyway. I thought this little “cuckoo” clock was just so cute. It is normally $41 and with the sale it was $32.80. This put it much more in a range I was interested in. It is also made in the USA which is always nice. The clock is actually a lot more red than the picture looks, which is good because it makes it less girly. I have always had a love of real cuckoo clocks. This one will be nice though because it won’t be waking my kids every hour with a sweet chirp and it’ll give us a little feeling of being over in Europe.
Now there is an etsy clock shop that I have been in love with ever since I first saw it. Some of the prices are a little bit of a splurge for me for a clock but I imagine this would be one you would keep for a very long time! The shop, which also sells other cool stuff too, is called Decoylab. There are clocks that are great for kids and for adults. I am sure at some point I will take the plunge and buy one for the other kid room that isn’t getting the cuckoo clock. If I had a room of my own for sewing etc I would totally get one for me. One day! I want to choose something that won’t become too babyish too soon and one that has numbers on it so when the kids are learning to read a clock (and when I need to see the time during a late night feed or something) that it is easy to read. Right now Decoylab is having a 20% off sale for anything in the shop. It goes through the end of July. You just have to type the code RICRAC12 when you check out.
Here are a few favorites. And as always you can click on any of the photos to take you to the source.
That cuckoo clock is awesome! My grandparents and parents have cuckoo clocks, so I have a sweet spot for them. Just darling.
Sounds like you might need to continue the tradition and have a cuckoo clock of your own!
cuckoo clocks are a great timepiece to listen to and look at
These are beautiful. I have always admired the one in the kids’ room!
