Talking Penguin Aland Islands Flag Large Clock

Just back from a quick trip to the Aland Islands, sometimes called the Aaland Islands, Auntie Shoe's penguin added another flag vest to his collection. And, doesn't he look as sharp as a tack in his Alander Flag vest? The Nordic Cross in red and yellow on a blue background is very cool looking. Auntie's charming penguin learned a few things while he was travelling. The Aland Islands have sometimes been under Swedish control, at others, Finnish. In Swedish, the islands are called Landskapet Åland. In Finnish, they are Ahvenanmaan maakunta. The islands have an interesting history. They people there speak Swedish, mostly, but are a sort of a part of Finland. So, now the penguin is, in Finnish, Ahvenanmaa puhuu pingviini lippu. But in Swedish, he is Åland talar pingvin flagga. Anyway, you can make your Alander flag penguin say whatever you like. Just change what is in the talk bubble! Make him wish a friend a happy birthday, retirement, anniversary, whatever! Use him to spread your special message to the world. Honour your heritage, remember your own heritage. Do not forget that Penguin Awareness Day is January 20th. You can also personalize your item by clicking on the CUSTOMIZE link and doing your thing, Baby (Swedish) or vauva (Finnish). If you are a little shy of fancy techie stuff, just contact your designer, Auntie Shoe, by using the link that says ASK THE DESIGNER (Duh!). Just tell your virtual auntie what you would like and she will do her best to make it so.
