Duck!

 Remember when it used to be all the rage to dress up ceramic ducks and put them on the porch for decoration? I wonder what ever happened to that fad. And how did they find the little clothes to fit the ducks?  Anyway, I have seen TWO recently!!




Soft-footed gliders on the stream,

They ripple morning’s golden gleam.

Wings tucked neat in feathered rest,

In quiet drift, the world feels blessed

I've never seen anything ceramic dressed in clothes, much less ceramic ducks. Seems like anyone going to the effort of clothing statues has too much time on their hands.

Those charming ceramic ducks with their tiny outfits really captured a moment in time

I do remember those years ago. There were a few places that used to sell costumes for them. I suppose there were also people who would make them themselves.

They are so fun! And I've heard they are coming back - maybe that's why you've seen a few lately.

Ginny, unfortunately, I do not recall a rage to dress ducks somehow I missed this one. That said, the ones you posted are rather creative.

I don't think I've ever seen a dressed-up duck before! (except possibly as illustration in some children's book...)

I loved those ceramic ducks. I had one too, many years ago. I'm glad to still see they're around. Love, Andrea xoxo

aahh, those are cute. They look like little doll clothes. That house with the brick is so charming. Love the green door - it's such a nice contrast with the brick.

Somebody somewhere is making those clothes for those ducks! Somebody smart and industrious and creative. It's such a cute idea. xoxo
