Description

The Mermaid is a joyful creature with a loving nature and magical powers. I believe we have caught our mermaid dreaming. The sky is dawning and our mermaid is just letting the sun slowly wake her up.

She is dressed in her finery from her pearl necklace that cascades over her body to her earrings that are golden fish. Her orange tail is curled underneath her and her hair is red flutters in the breeze. You just have to wonder, as you look at her, what do mermaids dream about?

Perhaps it is about playing catch-the-starfish with the dolphins or whales. Perhaps our mermaid will be looking for sparkly treasures on the bottom of the sea that has fallen of some curse ships waiting for her to discover them. A girl can never have too much jewelry.

Perhaps she dreams of singing ancient songs and watching fish and dancing seahorses kick up their tails to the tunes that she sings. Whatever mermaid�s dreams about I imagine that she might awaken at any moment. So we best enjoy her peaceful presence before she slips away.
