Maybe some of you have followed my travails with putting together the mini block Lego-style puffin that I recently purchased from Pauline’s Gifts on Essex Ave. This is the final result. He looks a little pixelated due to the teeny tiny mini blocks used to construct him: 443 of these according to the 31 steps of instructions! There was more than a little bit of swearing and searching on my knees for fallen pieces but we got there! I challenged my Facebook friends to guess where we would end up over/under on pieces at completion and I thought you all might be interested in the results. Drum roll…….there were 90 (!!) EXTRA pieces left over! I found that astonishing. Pauline has suggested I work on the lobster next and I think I’m going to take her up on it. This puffin will reside at 44 Main St. Open this week Thursday 1-5; Saturday 11-5 and Sunday 11-3. (Taking Friday off with company in town).
Good Morning Gloucester 
Pat, I hope you let the puffin reside in the shop until after the Labor Day weekend. I love puffins and read a poem about them to my son day after day when he was little. He will be visiting Gloucester (from NYS) late this month and I’d love to bring him by.

Absolutely the puffin will remain in the shop for several weeks.
