Mermaids, sweet mermaids!

Greetings, friends! It is Easter weekend and I decided to finally do a bit of baking. I had bought a couple of edible mermaid tails a few months ago and was saving them for when I had gotten a chance to bake again. Today, I baked two small-sized vanilla cakes ...

And, a batch of confetti cupcakes as well ...


Wishing everyone a swimmingly fantastic weekend!

Mermaid Dust



Items needed:

One small bottle (any shape - star, round, heart, etc.)

Sea salt

Blue chalk and a small knife 

Blue glitter

Small seashells and/or small beads (optional)

Pour the sea salt (as much as you would like) and the blue glitter into the bottle and lightly shake to mix together (or mix separately before pouring into bottle). 

Scrape the blue chalk powder into the bottle with the sea salt mixture.

Add the small seashells and/or beads.

*Added suggestions: If you are able to find a seashell the right size to fit the lip of your bottle, you can use the shell instead of a cork - that is even better! And if you feel especially creative, you can also decorate the outside of the bottle with small gemstones, silver or goldtoned jewelry, or the like. Happy crafting, mermaids!!

My mermaid altar

 

.

Yesterday, I began working on my new mermaid altar downstairs. Last week, my gorgeous new merman statue arrived and I just could not wait to add him to my collection ...


Some of my altar items I had gotten a few years ago such as my ceramic mermaid bell, my chalices, mermaid athame, mermaid tealight holder, large seashell, and incense burner ...


I have also been doing a bit more reading on sea magic. This is one of my many books which I enjoy! ...


And, I received a very special surprise gift from a very kind and thoughtful co-worker this past week- a beautiful black crystal and amethyst pendant ...


And last, but not least, the mermaids and I are very much awaiting the seasons of SPRING and summer - especially since we have been in a deep freeze here in my area of Pennsylvania. Last week, we experienced a bad snow and ice storm leaving us with 12 inches of snow! In fact, it is currently snowing hard here as I write this post and there are two more storms expected during the course of this coming week.

My Mermaid Christmas Tree

Greetings my fellow mermaid enthusiasts! My deepest apologies for not keeping up my blog posts! I have only recently been able to re-start here and so ... here goes!

Last weekend, I was finally able to take the time to put up my mermaid Christmas tree! ...










Soon I will be preparing for the Yule celebration. In the meantime, I would like to share this special Christmas post from my main blog, "The Wiccan Life" ... Please enjoy and Thank You everyone!

The ‘Christmas Star’ Is Coming For The First Time In 800 Years

The end of 2020 will mark a celestial event that has not been seen in 800 years. Jupiter and Saturn, the two largest planets in the solar system, will form what looks like a double planet, dubbed as the Christmas star. This type of event has not been seen since the Middle Ages, making it quite a historic event.

It will occur on December 21st, 2020 after sunset, the day that marks the winter solstice. “Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to one another,” says Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan. “You’d have to go all the way back to just before dawn on March 4, 1226, to see a closer alignment between these objects visible in the night sky.”

Some mermaid Christmas treasures


Happy New Year's Eve everyone! I hope all is well with you and you all had a nice Christmas for those who celebrate it.

Next year, I plan to set up a mermaid-themed tree for the season. I found some great after the holidays deals at a shoppe called The Christmas Tree and was able to pick up a few more cool ornaments last weekend ...










And yesterday, I ordered these beautiful ornaments as well on Etsy ...




HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR, MY FRIENDS!!
