Autumn is here, and that means it's time for a cozy getaway to our delightful cottage in central Canada. This year, spice up your Thanksgiving with a touch of nostalgia as we dive into the world of antique and vintage clocks!

Thanksgiving at its core signifies togetherness, reflection, and gratitude for life's abundance. As we gather with family and friends, let the rhythmic tick-tock of antique timepieces create an inviting atmosphere. In Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October.

Our fall getaway offers a perfect opportunity to unwind with good books, wine, and delicious homemade roast turkey. Don't worry about missed blog posts as we've got you covered with our scheduled Friday and Tuesday 6:00 am AST updates.

Here at the clock blog, you'll find endless conversations about my prized collection, the thrills, and hurdles of maintaining and restoring these captivating artifacts, and an intriguing selection of horological topics.

While I may take a bit of a break from emails and blog comments during our travels, rest assured that I deeply value your questions and feedback and will address them with pleasure upon our return.

During our journeys, we'll explore antique stores, flea markets, and junk shops, seeking the unique gems hiding amongst the treasure trove. Keep your eyes peeled for fresh stories, repair challenges, and maybe even a major restoration project!
