What began as a 30-day challenge stretched into a year. “When the show was being advertised, I thought that would be a perfect venue to hang them up,” she said. During the past four years, she has been striving to live a zero-waste lifestyle, which means being mindful about what products she buys and mixing her own egg tempera paints." |

"To buy or not to buy?That won’t be the question if you’re mad about Shakespeare and find yourself in the Bard’s Boutique — South Whidbey’s newest specialty shop.
Books and coloring books, clothes, caps and cups, totes and T-shirts are among the many Bard buys revealed during Saturday’s Grand Opening. The gift store benefits the Island Shakespeare Festival, which is marking its tenth season offering pay-what-you-will outdoor plays in Langley from July through Labor Day weekend at its large orange and white canvas circus tent, known as Henry the Tent." |
