This beauty has been a long time coming.

I got this magnificent see you at six fabric a couple (?) of years ago, the day it was released. I saw it and had to have it. Turns out these are not my colours. Which is good news for someone else.

Arriving late this afternoon/early tomorrow morning at Trove Canberra. It’s a size 14 and I hope it’s someone else’s magical find. Maybe even a Christmas present for themselves because, hey, we’ve all earnt ourselves a treat or two.

Which is a good reminder - Trove Canberra is open every day up until Xmas Eve and is bursting at the seams with amazing and beautiful things. I’ve ticked off quite a bit of my list there myself. If you’re panicking at the last minute, like I will be, stop by and say hi. I’ll be there on Wednesday for a few hours.

Ducky Shincracker is the distinctive handmade label of Canberra textile artist Marcella Hawkes, whose work celebrates traditional craft through a joyful, contemporary lens.

Drawing on her love of vintage fabrics, Liberty prints and meticulous hand-finishing, Marcella creates pieces that are both beautiful and eminently practical.

For the Crafty Frog Christmas Markets, Ducky Shincracker presents a richly curated collection of handmade clothing, bags, purses, lavender-filled gifts, felt florals and festive decorations.

Expect Christmas crowns and wreaths, hanging ornaments, delicate Liberty hair accessories, embroidered keepsakes and signature statement pieces — all crafted in limited quantities with care and personality.

Each creation reflects Marcella’s philosophy of slow making: thoughtful design, quality materials, and items made to be used, loved and kept. These are not mass-produced decorations or disposable accessories — they are enduring gifts, infused with story and skill.

If you value authentic Australian handmade, timeless design and heartfelt craftsmanship, Ducky Shincracker is an essential stop at the markets.
