Sleepy Cherryblossom

Not Old....Vintage!

The 'Shelter' charity shop in Stockbridge. I love this window, feels all deco and Biba-esque!

I've been searching for a lovely 'retro' (ie. old fashioned) alarm clock. I desperately need something which will actually wake me up, unlike the rubbish alarm I seem to be immune to at the moment, but it also has to look all pretty in my room. Something 6o's or 7o's in cream or duck egg blue would fit the bill beautifully. Idealy on a space age type pedestal like the 'Rhythm Japan' or in a slightly odd shape like the 'Newgate Bullit' (I have a lot of time to spare to look these things up! And yes, the pun was intentional).
Unfortunately this seems a little ambitious and even eBay isn't throwing up exactly the right thing in the right colour for the right price.... It's not like I'm asking that much for goodness sake. I mean I'm willing to go with pink if necessary, better still a nice light sagey green! For some reason Edinburgh's finest charity shops just aren't delivering either.
Humph.
I'm probably going to end up in Poundies buying something very cheap and extremely ugly.
