Shirlee, as you can see, is sporting duck earrings she created. Her wares today include pins featuring her take on the “rubber duckie”, and when we stopped by her booth, she said her duck-related merchandise was selling out. She also said she had supplied some wooden duck shapes for decoupage, at CRAFTED’s portside DIY station. No word on whether those may still be available today, but it’s definitely worth asking!
And once the Tall Ships® Festival is a memory, CRAFTED will be looking ahead.
You may want to mark your calendar for a week from Sunday, which is August 31. Shirlee teaches a fun beginning fused-glass class, the final Sunday of every month.
She might even tell you how to make a yellow duck, if you ask nicely.
