Well hello, there.  I have finished up some other projects and am ready to expand the inventory of The Fulfillment Center. Today’s drawing is the lovely Moonbeam alarm clock from Westclox.  I very much love the vintage mid-century version, but the reissue is nice, too (though I wish they had included the fantastic butterscotch color of the earlier model) and the price is nicer.

And why do I want a new alarm clock? Partly because my cool Biobrite sunrise clock has died, but also because I finally at last have a job.  Yes, it’s true! Starting one week from today I’m going to be doing sciencey things (or rather helping scientists do sciencey things), and so I’m gonna need to get up on time.

This sweet little alarm clock flashes a light before the audible alarm goes off, which isn’t quite as elegant as the 30-minute sunrise reverse-dimmer of my old clock, but the styling is so great—much better than the sunrise clock, especially the new ones (digital clock? ugh!) Maybe I should gather a little flock of alarms to make sure I haul myself out of bed in time…

The Moonbeam clock costs $44, and so does this drawing!
