Grubby Box of Clock Stuff...


So I happened upon this box of grubby old clocks and parts at a garage sale the other day for $10.


Four old cool looking clocks...


...this cool black clock face...


...and other assorted parts and pieces.

I almost didn't buy it...

When it comes to garage sales, I'm a "bargain hunter" but I hate negotiating...I need my hubby along for that.  So if the price is higher than I want to spend I usually just pass...but this time I actually REALLY wanted it...so I tried...no go.  So I said "thanks anyway" and walked away...as far as my car...and then my son said "Why didn't you buy it mom?  Don't you have $10 in your pocket?".  I did...I was being stubborn. I went back and bought it with a smile on my face...and no regrets.  I'll have fun with these little grubby goodies :)

So how 'bout you?  Would you have bought it for $10?  And how do you feel about negotiating?  Fun or stressful?

Would you buy these???


I found these little lovelies at an antique store over the weekend...I know, I was supposed to be doing projects all weekend...but I ran out for a quick "sec" to see if something I had seen last week was still there...it wasn't...


...but these were.  And believe it or not I like them just the way they are...gray, my fave and assorted handles and sizes.  The writing is fun too...history.


This one is my favorite...love the handle, the shallow size and the little slot. 
So what do you think?  Would you have bought them?  I'm guessing if so... most of you would paint them...call me crazy :)
