Not quite a fish…

…not quite a human, but that’s what makes mermaids so special – so magical.

Who doesn’t want to play under the water? Enjoying the sunshine and being able to swim without having to come up for air. Perfection.

But there are some small group of mermaids who want to experience life above the waves. Luckily, this one doesn’t have to worry about turning into sea foam. Still, some habits die hard – especially when you’ve first lost your tail. Thank goodness for sea shells. (More on my Flickr.)

The important stuff… Mer-chandise Cove provided the beautiful mermaid outfit in picture 1 for one of their RFL donation items at the Fantasy Faire. They can be found on Siren’s Secret. The top and belt is the Tidal Treasure item from their regular catalog. So glad I got to try out this new-to-me store!
