A cuckoo clock at Target (of all places)! I've had a cuckoo clock on my list of must-haves for a while now, so I was ecstatic to check it off. They're so cute, nostalgic, whimsical, and fun. I'd, of course, love to have an original antique cuckoo clock but I must admit that this one fits the bill and it works...unlike so many of the antique cuckoos out there.
I'm not quite certain how my little gem of a cuckoo will work into our home decor, but it's yellow (love it!) and happily living on a narrow blank wall for now.
Here are a few photos of cuckoo clocks (some old and some modern) that I absolutely adore.

Anyone else going cuckoo for cuckoo clocks with me? Anyone have a vintage hand-me-down cuckoo clock, or have memories of seeing them in a grandparent's home perhaps?
Shut up! I've been looking for one for the kids' rooms for FOREVER. Pottery Barn had a couple a few years back that were super cute, but not a super cute price. I'm gonna see if Target has them online. Jealous!
ReplyDeleteWe had one in our house when I was a kid. And it actually cuckooed.
Does it count if my only cuckoo clock is a small charm? Love the clock - think it will look great in your new place.
ReplyDeletewhat a find! Target never ceases to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteHey! I have this clock from Target and the thing doesn't work! The clock itself doesn't work, but if I manually move the hands past 12, the little bird will do it's thing. Grrr.
