Welcome to "2nd Time Around Tuesday," graciously hosted by our friend Diane at A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words. Thank you, Diane, for taking the time to be our hostess. I always enjoy seeing your and everyone else's "2nd Time Around" treasures.
Today I'm sharing an antique clock that we recently inherited from my husband's mother. As far as I've been able to ascertain, it is a calendar "store regulator clock" and was made in the early 1900s.
I love this old clock, not only because it's pretty, but because it brings back fond memories of the years it hung in my husband's parents' home.
It now hangs in our kitchen/breakfast room area, where its loud ticking is a comforting and peaceful sound to me when I'm working in the kitchen ...
I appreciate you visiting me, and I look forward to seeing everyone's "2nd Time Around" treasures today.

I love this type clock and have always wanted one. This is just beautiful and looks like it has always been right at home in your beautiful cottage.
I remember the first time, years ago on RMS, that I saw your pretty kitchen. I just about had a hissy fit !! So so pretty.

Just beautiful, and I love the serene golden light that fills your kitchen.
Ours is an old Regulator, with a pointy little bottom beneath the small door where the pendulum lives. It's from Goodwill, and to hang it about five years ago, we had to move the big old round black schoolhouse model which we'd had hanging in that spot for a coon's age.
She has a wonderful sound, as well, steadily ticking her way through the days, and her chime on the hour-and-half is a single lovely tone, but just the right one. And when our BabyGirl is here, we cheer and clap our hands. YAAAAY!
That beautiful clock is in exactly the right spot in your gorgeous home. Happy 2nd Time Around.
I love,love,love that clock.And thats a perfect spot for it.What a lovely home you have...Ann

What a wonderful clock,and you have the perfect place to display your heirloom clock.You have a beautiful kitchen.
Hi Janie! Gorgeous clock; even more so because of sentimental value! Looks stunning in your equally stunning kitchen! I cannot pass a clock in a store without stopping! I love them and was surprised at how many I have!!lol The ticking is mostly peaceful for me too but some I've had to remove the batteries because at one point they were driving me nuts (a very short drive!)nuts!!!lol Hope you're having a great week - Sincerely, Jeannette
Fabulous clock, Janie! Just WONDERFUL, and it goes perfectly in that amazing kitchen/breakfast area! Just perfection.
XO,

Really a beautiful clock - and such fond memories to go with it. Just lovely.

Janie,
I too think your clock is beautiful and fits perfectly in your GORGEOUS and so welcoming kitchen.
It is the memories and sentiment of where your clock came from that probably means the most. It is a true treasure.:-)
I also like your spring arrangement at the top as your header.
I hope you are enjoying a great week.

Janie, your clock is wonderful as well as a special memory. Your kitchen is beautiful and the clock is right at home there.
Hugs...Jeanne
Janie; The ashes/mayo treatment was PERFECT! I'll mail you some ashes from our fireplace if you want!!!! (seriously - or they'll just get thrown out).
I laughed when I went to the refrigerator cause we had "lite mayo" and "regular mayo". Since Susan didn't specify, I used the "lite" - so my sideboard has fewer calories than I do!!
I'm hoping for a spring trip to Vicksburg, if that comes about, I'll be asking you for some help on places to see, things to do.
Hugs!
Judy
Hi Janie,
The clock looks like it was made for that space! Your home is so pretty!
Thanks so much for linking to 2nd Time Around and helping promote it!
Please forgive me for taking so long to get by-I have been exhausted! LOL
