She swam across the big North Sea........

despite the cold, just to be with me.
Her hair a-trailing in the waves,
occasionally resting in little caves.
Finally coming to Hastings beach,
she was almost within my reach.
A spell allowed her to walk on land,
and so she came to be in my hand.
A beautiful creature of the sea,
finally coming to live with me.

Last week I saw on one of Dorthe's posts that she had made some new mermaids and listed them in her Ebay shop. I couldn't help myself, I had to get one of the beautiful little mermaids and she arrived a couple of days ago. She is even prettier than the photos showed her to be, and she will look just fantastic in the bathroom in the French cottage, where she can keep Dorthe's sea fairy company.

Here she is -


Aren't the details amazing?

Dorthe's mermaid came with this sweet little tag -


and my wonderful friend also included these pretty little fabric pieces, wrapped around pieces of her drift wood -


I am so delighted with my little mermaid, If you haven't visited Dorthe's blog or her Etsy shop yet, do go and have a look, you are going to love it.

Have a lovely Sunday, enjoy yourselves!
