Drove
into Rockport for a visit with Dovie. She’s the one who painted pelicans
and spoonbills onto shirts for Judy all those years ago.
Now
in her late 90s, she says we’re the most longtime friends she has from the
shop. It has been 25 years. She made all the fish decorations on
that shirt she’s wearing. Now she uses a computerized sewing machine
though, instead of hand-painting. She says she just doesn’t have the time
to do as much artwork now.
