I found this book dating back to the early 1800's at an estate sale.
I love the color and the patina.
The cover has completely fallen off but I don't even care,
The cover has completely fallen off but I don't even care, it was only $5.00!
At the same sale I found this silver salt and pepper shaker set,
just darling.
$4.00
Then I stopped at an antique shop right around the corner from my house. I was looking for clocks to go with the one I bought at the flea market last week.
I saw two but they were in a locked case behind glass.
I decided I am not in the market to be spending money on things that are "behind locked glass" if you catch my drift.
So, I started to leave empty handed when the shop owner asked me if I wanted to see them. I told him they probably weren't in my price range but decided to look anyway.
The silver one was marked $45 and the other $35.00, a little over my budget for decorative clocks.
As I put them back he said, "how about both for $35?"
How can I say no to that?
I came home and now have somewhat of a "collection"

What wonderful finds Melaine:) I love them all but the old book is just divine. Enjoy your treasures and thank for sharing:) Have a lovely day - Tina x
Three definitely counts as a collection! Very cool.
that is an awesome collection!
as someone who believes that everything has a story i can just image what that book would say!
What great pieces. I love old books and the salt and pepper are just such a fantastic find. Hugs, Marty
Isn't it delightful to find such fun things at awesome prices? I love everything, but especially the salt and pepper shakers. Love your blog too! ♥
Great deal! That's happened to me before too. I'm not one to barter, but when someone is willing to negotiate and sees that you're interested, they will still try to make the sale.
The clocks look great!
Oh Melaine, I love these. My favorite is the middle one . You got a great deal. LOVE it.
Take Care

Hi Melaine,
Leaving another message. I love the book. I love all that you do.
I am going to learn how to run that table saw someday! You are such an inspiration!
Take Care,
Maria
I am loving your site every day! You find the neatest stuff. The s/p set is gorgeous.
Love your clock display, My Mom collects clocks and she has had quite a few of the round alarm clocks they have such wonderful character. Great post!! You really did find some treasures. kathysue
Just discovered your charming blog and I love it! The clocks are wonderful- very graphic! Can't wait to read more!
Don't you just love when that happens? Great find!! Love your clocks!
you lucky girl! they are beautiful! and yes, you have a collection!
Three is definitely a collection, in my book! Melaine, I love your blog, but normally don't comment. I adored this post. In the past year, I have begun collecting books, old salt and pepper shakers, and vintage clocks! Some of my best deals have been on etsy, but you are right....sometimes people ask a lot for the clocks.
What a shopping victory! Good for you!

I love your collection! I have always loved old clocks!! :) The old book is beautiful!
Do these clocks work? I have three on my blog that are not working and I set them to my children's birth-times. Or any time that is special to you.
Melanie
What a score!!! Yes, 3 is a collection. Way to go!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE old clocks! I have just one, and it is my favorite thing to look at in my whole living room...so I know how you feel!
The book is just awesome! I love clocks too ~ great buy on those. You have excellent taste.
Love all of it, especially the book! I love the thrill of the hunt!
Melaine, I've missed you so much! We (snow birds) headed south and I had no internet hookup until Time-Warner finally did their part and then my son spent an hour on the phone helping me so I could get my "Savannah fix"! It is so good to be back after almost 2 weeks....I think I am considered an addict!
LOVE how the book stands out, yet blends in peacefully with those other simple elements...and the collection on clocks, yup thats a collection :)
I love, love, love the clocks:) Oh my. I would have paid that for them. What a great find.
3 or more = collection, and I love yours.
Love the vintage silver clock!
wonderful finds, love a bargain! Love the clocks together :)
Love the clocks and Yes three is a collection:) Boy you found some great deals!!
I did a little antique/junking this weekend as well and came home with several coffee table books, vintage plates, and silver bowls to hold jewelry on my recycled vanity! You can check out my weekend finds at www.thislittlenestblog.blogspot.com
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your clocks. They are beautiful.
