"Just Ducky"


You may recall that delightful Fiona the penguin arrived with traveling companions 
a few days prior to Christmas. That large unexpected box from North Carolina's
coast also brought another wonderful surprise, the twins, Hannah and Phoebe! 
Such a beautiful pair of sassy ducks whom I'd also met earlier in that
lovely shop BAROUKE in Wilmington, NC. I loved the idea of ducks wearing
 wellies and shared them with you HERE in an earlier post.





Hannah and Phoebe, after testing the waters in the garden - where constant rain
the past couple of weeks have drowned and dampened everything outdoors -
decided that, although they had fun splashing in their polka dot wellies, they would much
prefer staying in the cottage now that cooler winter weather seems imminent and
they are not really into ice skating yet!
So, they are happy in the kitchen this week, celebrating a new year, bird watching 
through the windows, joining in the fun, and adding their cheerful "quacks".


Thanks again to delightful Jannett at BAROUKE who made Christmas,
and forever, very special for me with these delightful gifts.

  6. Oh my goodness, they are adorable. The polka dot wellies put them over the top on the cuteness scale. They look right at home in and out at your cottage, Mary. What a lovely and thoughtful gift. If I ever make it back to Wilmington, I'll be sure and look up this shop.
