nce upon a time there were three parties planned for the very same day. A Pink Saturday Celebration hosted by Bev from How Sweet The Sound...A Mermaid Tea hosted by Lisa from Faerie Enchantment, and a wonderful Mood Board Blog party hosted by Gabriela from Gabriela Delworth.
What a perfectly wonderful reason to sail away to each party. Mermaid inspiration sprinkled the pink blossoms everywhere and carried the mood board from place to place. 
What to do...what to do? 
She put on her crown of seashells and sat by the shore, 
and listened to the wisdom of the sea.
As always the waves spoke such wisdom to her heart. 
She would simply write three posts. Yes, three posts were required, how else could she attend all three parties? So she created these party posts for you to enjoy...

To celebrate the Mood Board Blog Party please CLICK HERE TO ENTER Gabriela's party.
To celebrate the Mermaid Tea party, you can pour a cup of tea and celebrate with me right here. Lisa Kettell from Faerie Enchantment always creates the most magical parties. Come along now...
I love the sea, 
and the magic of all things that live there,
Did you know that Mermaids love to ride sea horses through coral reefs and aqua seas.
Mermaids can map our voyage with whispers of mermaid secrets to get us safely home.
They have baby sea horse pets that enchant them wherever they go...
They love to sip tea with the seashells ladies...
I have been in a mermaid kind of mood this week and searched for mermaid inspiration. Here is one I created born out of trips to the seaside and dreams of enchantment.
Speaking of enchantment...
if you stop by Lisa's place at Faerie Enchantment your trip to a magical mermaid tea has just begun.
Another favorite old movie of mine is Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid. The song for this post is Sundial Dreams. I hope that you sail away to all three places and are filled with inspiration, dreams and a lovely weekend.
Wow, aren't you a busy bee! Thanks for sharing!

You are just amazing! Being the star of every blogparty! Happy Pink Saturday at the mood board mermaid tea party!
ReplyDeleteMy little seven year-old granddaughter, Emily was enthralled by your mermaid post. We loved it. She really loves mermaids and told me that mermaids are real. I asked her how she knew they were real. She told me, "Archeologists have dug up their bones." I laughed and laughed. Thank you for sharing your creativity with my granddaughter and me.

Lovely post...all three. Beautiful mermaid. On my sidebar is a blog called The Mermaids. They also have an internet magazine also listed at the very bottom of my blog sidebar. They love mermaids and I think you might enjoy their blog and magazine. Give it a look if you have time.
