GASP! I am going a little cukoo over this clock. Okay, maybe a lot cukoo . . .
Back story
The current issue of Romantic Homes is especially lovely. This month I find myself turning each time to pages 36 - 51 to swoon over Karon and Simon Hamilton's home in Herefordshire, England. Karon's cozy home is filled with pale blues, pops of red, polka dots and cheerful patterns. Turns out she owns a shop called Berry Red and of course I had to investigate.
Berry Red has an entire Greengate collection -- purveyors of if you are crazy for Cath Kidston - you'll go bananas over this, too eye candy (that seems to sell everywhere but the U.S. = Grrrr!). {FYI: Greengate site}
Oil cloth!
I just sent an email to Berry Red to inquire about shipping. If S&H is not too ridiculous, tinkered treasures might be funding a little splurge.
Time will tell!

I LOVE that clock too Elyse :) As well as that issue of Romantic Homes. I cannot tell you how many times I have looked at it, lol! So inspiring!
Hugs,

Greengate is absolutely great! Since we can't buy CK in Holland, I am a big fan of Greengate which you can order in lots of dutch webshops. In fact, I think I even prefer Greengate over CK because the Greengate collection is much more diverse and changes every year. Do download the free catalogue at www.greengate.dk, it's fab! I'm sure you'll love it.
Love, Debby
Yikes!!! I fell in love with that too, Elyse! Why don't we ever get the good stuff here in the States?!
Hope it's reasonable--would be perfect for your sweet cottage!
Hope your day is wonderful, my friend!

OOOOOH! Thanks for the tip! My new Cath K. stuff came this week and I love it! Now, off to shop some more!
That clock is just gorgeous. Greengate is very hard to get here along with CK. Trouble is I love them both!!Love that website and thanks for the link...I think!

Love Greengate too! We travel abroad each summer and I told my husband we are going to Denmark just so I can shop at Greengate. (I wish!) My Cath Kidston USA catalog arrived in the mail today, so that was a treat. Will definitely be taking advantage of their free shipping offer. I love everything in there!
I love that magazine. I think I have every copy from the first one on. It is one I never get tired of looking at. That fabric is gorgeous. I hope the shipping isn't too awful...I think you deserve a little splurge! Hugs-Diana
EEK!
Splurge for sure!

Oh, wow!! That paisley with roses is just fabulous. I love the print!!
I received the US catalog this week. I was tempted to but some wrapping paper but shipping was still ridiculous. More then the item itself!!

Good luck with it all...I am thinking all this is just too cute for words...that clock especially. Hugs. xoxo
I'm also a big fan of Greengate & am so sad that we can't get it here in the US. I dream of a shopping trip to the UK, in which I take home a suitcase full of Greengate & CK items!
What a beautiful find, I hope the shipping is in reason, because that clock is you girl! Please do let us know what you decide. Hugs, Diane
Okay, it's official. I'm in love. I'm in love with that clock. So cute!
I'm going to go check out Greengate now. If you say it's worth a peek, then I know it is! I love this kind of stuff!
Hugs,
Jill
Hello Elyse,
I recently discovered Berry Red over here in England and am waiting for the arrival of the red and cream clocks above along with a vintage style coffee flask. It's such a lovely shop!

Ooh, can you fund a little splurge for me too:) hehe! Have a blessed day! HUGS!
Okay, I want BOTH of those clocks...AND that oilcloth! TOO cute!
Just right down your alley sweetie! I think you NEED to have a clock!
Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Maryjane

I've been looking for a way to get some greengate in my life so I will be eagerly awaiting this info. I'm just itching to go to London. It is next on my European list.
I have often wished that Green Gate was sold in the US, it's all gorgeous stuff!

cute cukoo! you need one from Santa!;)
yi pazarlar canım, öncelikle geçmiş bayramını kutluyorum.
Evde ki tadilatlar bayram telaşı derken biraz gecikmiş kutlamayla merhaba demek istedim. Sizleri epey dir ziyaret edemedim, bundan sonra da kayınvalide olma, söz nişan telaşımız var, arada ihmalkarlığım olursa şimdiden affola diyorum. Sevgiyle sağlıcakla kalın, güzel günler güzel bloglar sizinle olsun:)
Oh yes I love the clock and the fabulous christmas issue of romantic homes !
It's like we live in Outer Mongolia! I can't even look at the Greengate site any more...I just get all weepy!
{if you find out that there are underground smugglers...let me know! Shhhhhhh! ;}

Hi, I enjoyed my stay at your site. Great crafts.
Hi Elyse, we just can't get any good magazines over here anymore. Even during our recent trip to Qatar, I was sad to find there were no good bookstores there. I only find out about lovely new stores and items and magazine articles through blogging. Sometimes I feel like I am in Outer Mongolia (referring to tales from an oc cottage's comment). HA! Hope you were able to take the plunge and get the splurge. :) Best wishes, Tammy
Everything is as darling as can be, Elyse. Greengate, house doctor, CK, the sweetest brands on earth.
Have a lovely Monday! xxxx
Precious clock!!! Fun colors!!! Im such a fan of Cath K.!!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Xo,Jenn
I think you need tot ask Santa for the clock, it's awesome.
Happy Thanksgiving pumpkin,
Cathy
I love that clock! I hope they will ship it cuz it is so very YOU! I just got a CK catalog (with $ prices -- so nice) and have been drooling since it arrived.
Can't wait to check out Greengate!

I'm coming in way behind on this post, Elyse, but did you ever end up getting that Green Gate alarm clock?
I ask because I've been on the lookout for a vintage-style alarm clock and whilst perusing ebay tonight, stumbled across a clock that's *very* similar to the one in this post.
Several details (check out the feet, the alarm bells, the overall shape, etc.) make me think this clock comes from the same factory as the Green Gate clock. The face isn't quite as cute as GG's, but for less than $14, including shipping from Hong Kong, I think it'll do! :)
Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rose-Flower-Hammer-Twin-Double-Bell-Desk-Table-Alarm-Clock-/400260750646?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d31665d36
Cheers!
