Finally, I saw two at an indoor flea market in a booth and I made an offer on the larger one. It is from Germany and came home with us. As you can see it has a new paint job:
It took me a while to understand a
cuckoo clock and how it works and
in the process I have learned more
because this is actually a Cuckoo
Whippoorwill Clock. That means it
has 2 different birds that comes out
and sound different.
I have to admit that I love Penny's last name because my Grandfather was a Phillips and so that was my Mother's maiden name! When I was a child there were lots of Phillips kinfolk and great cousins in the panhandle of Florida where both of my grandparents came from.
Good Morning, I just came from Judith's blog Lavender Cottage and I am delighted that I did. Your blog is so lovely and that clock re-do is fabulous :) We had a clock like that in your living room when I was a kid and I have no idea whatever happened to it. I always thought is was cool when I would wake up in the night and listen to it . . .counting the cuckoo's chirps too know what time it was. I am your newest follwer #846 and I would love to invite you over to visit and maybe even follow me back.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day.

ReplyDeleteHugs.
You're not the first person I've made go cuckoo...lol!!!! I am so happy that you found such a beautiful clock for your wall....it looks perfect! Have a wonderful week end Bernideen...hugs, Penny
ReplyDeleteI love it; you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteThe clock looks very nice in the colour you're painting everything - I like it better than the wood tone they come in.
ReplyDeleteit looks beautiful in white, and so nice in your living room. I grew up to the ticking of clocks but it drives my husband crazy! I think they are comforting sounds :)
ReplyDeleteBernideen, how lovely! I'd love to sit right down in that photo and have a cup of tea with you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely addition - I'd never have thought of painting it like that! And if you can't get it to work properly, you could set the hands at 4:00 permanently - always time for tea :)
ReplyDeleteThe clock looks just perfect there. I once had a brown one, but got rid of it years ago.
ReplyDeleteI like it in white. Very nice!
Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteI love your cuckoo clock. The white is perfect! What a great idea. I must look for one too when treasure hunting. I just love your settee and beautiful matching chair. Your house is so lovely! Take care,
Karen
