Went to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade yesterday!! Here‘s me doing a hobby of mine - dressing and swimming as a mermaid!

We couldn‘t go in the water because of the lightning (see top left) but we got to get photos on the beach!

@CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian 🧜‍♀️ photo for you!!

Liz_M I saw a bunch of people covered in sequins and very sexily dressed in the subway and was saddened that I hadn't even realized it was the Mermaid parade.

That is a stunning outfit you have and a great photo!

I finished this book last week, and everything about it is gorgeous! Alexander went over the themes of mermaids, symbolisms, change over time, and the types of mermaids from different cultures. At times the information could be a little redundant, but overall a fun read! I hope to read some of the other books from this mythology series.

A fantastic historical reference book to mermaids. A nice quick guide that covers the world. Also a truly gorgeous book inside as well!

@AmyG I'm giving this item a separate post because this is absolutely special! 😍 it is a wooden frame box with this painted on the front. It came separate from my swapbox and it is absolutely amazing. OMG I love it so so very much. I have it sitting on the shelf above my reading chair so that I can look at it always. Thank you so much ❤️💕🤗💕❤️

"The best way for sailors to be sure of a safe voyage was for them to bribe the mermaids with books. The most strategic mariners would offer a selection of the first books in a number of series as insurance for the return journey." -Unknown

I knew it all along. Littens are mermaids. ❤

When mermaids sleep in oceans deep
Inside their coral coves.
They lay their heads on seaweed beds
Rocked by the ocean waves.

Laura317 With that sort of wind, I'm amazed she can keep the pages from flapping wildly. Also, I wonder what she is reading? Little Mermaid? The Old Man and the Sea? Or maybe P&P? 8y
