A Timely Find

I stopped in at a tiny antique treasures shop in a close country town and found they are getting ready to rearrange and clean up the whole shop which is crammed full. They were hoping to sell a some pieces at marked down prices. I would have loved to have bought lots of things but tried to find something practical. I got a vintage brass carriage clock for $15 for my bedroom. The  brass and crystal case is German and Japanese workings

The brass has a little aging on it

I found some sweet old books from the op shop for my collection $1 for both

I adore the Dickens book" Great Expectations" It is really well read and has the address inside of the owner...a street that is long gone. The edition is also a rare one from his lifetime in the 1800's

The other one has a sweet inscription inside

Next weekend we are going to have a HUGE bonfire of all the cleared out bushes and trees sitting at the bottom of the lawn
