Mermaid Standing In The Bright Sunlight



 
These pictures are a much better view of the Mermaid statue I got a little while back from The Christmas Tree Shops in this post.
 
 
 
 
She is a beauty. I think she has a very serene peaceful smile.
 
 
 
Nice details with the shells entwined in her long hair.



 
This is a back view of the pieces. Honestly I am really not a fan of the "distressed" chipped away look. I wish it was a solid white finish.
 
 
 
 
Side view. She is about a bit over a foot tall.
 
 
 
Closeup of her tail scales. In my previous post, you can see the iridescent effect on the inside of the clam shell better in those pictures.
 
 
Back view of the clam shell on a coral reef. Tiny clam shells and even a pretty pearl in front of the base.
 
 
Close up of the base.
 
 
 
I got really lucky to walk into The Christmas Tree Shops store and find this gorgeous mermaid. None of the mermaid pieces they had displayed since have been remotely as nice as this one.
 
It was so exciting to add this to my tiny mermaid collection. Usually I never see mermaid things when I am shopping so this was a great find.
 
Thank you for reading!

Three Favorite Things




A mirror compact with a rhinestone flower from Forever 21. I was standing in the checkout lane looked over and it was lying on a shelf. 





The mirror was loose. No problem. A little glue fixed it. This mirror makes me think of the Art Deco compacts well dressed woman used years ago.





A sea shell from a bag of shells I brought at the beach or a discount store many years ago.  It inspires a short story about a lonely mermaid with a horrible secret.





A rubber stamp with the letter of my first name. I got from Michaels craft store recently for only a dollar. It's going to be very useful for making my own custom stationary and notepads. 





I love simple inexpensive things . Just have an open mind with a lot of imagination and it's not what you have it's what you do with it. 





Thank you for reading my blog post!
