I know my grandma will love this Howard Miller Medford mantel clock very much. I saw one when I was holidaying with my hubby at one of the St. Martin villa rentals a few years back.
But there is no way I will give my grandma this mantel clock as a gift.
It’s a taboo to give clocks to the Chinese, especially elder people. In the Chinese language, clock sounds like ’sending people to die’. So, it’s a no no if you think of giving your buddies’ parents who are Chinese people.
I love this classic English clock very much. I prefer the Ave Maria chimes over the Westminster chimes.
If you know the history of Howard Miller clocks, you will be rest-assured of its superior quality and design that lasts for generations.

Trust me, this daisy pillow gives a WOW effect very much.
Whoever comes to my house and see them, they will comment on how pretty they look. Behind them are rose bushes that are the same color as the flower on the pillow.
I am using them as accent pillows on my lounge.
Seeing the attractive flower whenever I am in a bad mood really lifts my mood. I can even get more ideas while writing reviews on Sector watches.
