Show and Tell Friday
2009 November 6
Another chance to share something we treasure with the blogging friends taking part in Cindy’s Show & Tell. Please, visit her site fo more to see.
This week I want to share with you a travelling clock that belonged to my father-in-law. It originally was given to him by one of his aunts, who had a longtime companion who used to travel a lot for work. The guess is he bought the clock in England during one of his many trip there (if anyone recognize this item, please would you tell me? thanks).
The exterior is black silk hand-embroided with silk flowers and ornamental pattern
The interior is silk too, a plain white.
Thank you all for looking at my family treasure.
That is beautiful! I added your link to MckLinky! Thanks for sharing!
It’s beautiful ! I would rather think it’s for a lady and not for a man !
I have never seen a travel alarm that has stitching on the cover. How unusual. And how great that it now belongs to you. Just love family treaures with storied behind them. ~ Charlene
What a lovely clock - so pretty stitching!
This is simply stunning. I just love it! Thanks for sharing with us.
Oh how pretty it is. I love the needlepoint. Thanks for sharing.
Have a Blessed Weekend,

Don’t think I have ever seen one decorated like that. Very pretty - thanks for sharing. Most were leather or faux leather. I had one many years ago, but don’t remember what happened to it.
How neat! I love the handwork on the front. Lovely!

How beautiful! What a sweet and elegant treasure to hold on to.
This is beautiful Gra. I’ve never seen a traveling clock like that.
Hello- I have arrived via Britt-Arnhild’s blog… My grandmother traveled with a Bulova clock just like yrs, but without the pretty needlework on the case, which is plain leather. It was purchased in the late 1950s. I agree that yrs is a lady’s model…
