Friday Finds, Mermaid Costume Style: Tails for Adults and Kids

As a child, I had a reoccurring dream where I dived off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and transformed into a mermaid with an iridescent rainbow fin. My sleeping dreams aren't as vivid anymore after I wake, but I do daydream about sea creatures and underwater kingdoms. I've drawn my visions into reality, but have yet to dress up as a mermaid.

As you may have noticed from my past Jem, Catwoman, Zombie and Pirate Friday Finds, I hope to net a new Halloween costume soon. I have been luring ideas out of the Etsy ocean, and this week I hooked handmade mermaid tails for sale. Several styles splashed out of the waves for females of all ages, from sexy sirens to adorable toddlers.

    I like the detail in costume #2, though the tail in costume #1 is pretty neat for an adult!

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy!

Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand. Not only will you help feed others by buying a scarf this holiday season, you'll al...

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch. The band looks simply lovely on its own, but can be stacked with two or more rings. Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist. Kate uses a range of recycled metals, natural gemstones and conflict-free diamonds whose sparkles are even breathtaking...
