Something New at Chez Sven ...

It's tax time. Part of the fun of running a B&B is that you can buy beautiful objects for the business and deduct them. Take this clock from the ICA, for instance. The old clock in Seagull Cottage featured birds. While we enjoyed hearing the birds, their "singing" on the hour proved upsetting to some of our younger guests. Toddlers want to see real birds. It's confusing to have birds at the feeder out the bathroom window, and a clock that sounds like a bird in the kitchen. So, I knew our old clock had to go. While doing museums last month with Sven, I found this new beauty. Colors, not birds! Colors make no noise. Perfect, don't you think?
