Answer the enchanting siren call of the mermaid with this comprehensive, lavishly illustrated and intricately designed one-of-a-kind lifestyle compendium from the editor in chief of Faerie Magazine and author of The Faerie Handbook and globally published novel Mermaid, packed with lore, legends, facts and trivia, beautiful illustrations, and numerous step-by-step projects and recipes.

Beautiful, seductive, mysterious, and potentially dangerous, the mermaid is a global literary and pop culture icon whose roots date back to ancient sea goddesses and Greek mythology. From Homer's Odyssey and Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale The Little Mermaid to T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and the Disney animated film The Little Mermaid, this sea vixen has long seduced popular imagination. Cosmetic companies have drawn inspiration for their makeup lines from mermaids, as have designers throughout fashion history, from Jean Patou to Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen. The fishtail dress is a perennial long red-carpet staple, favored by the likes of Marion Cotillard, Sofia Vergara, and Blake Lively.

Divided into four sections--Fashion and Beauty; Arts and Culture; Real Mermaids and Where to Find Them; and Food, Entertaining and Stories of the Sea--The Mermaid Handbook is a unique and sumptuous compilation filled with creative ideas for decorating and living inspired by these beauties from the deep. Learn to make a sailor's valentine; a mermaid comb and crown; and a pearl and sequin paillette necklace. There are recipes for mermaid-themed poke bowls, aquatic-themed honey gingerbread cookies, and the official cocktail of the 1960s-era mermaid attraction Aquarama.

Folklore expert Carolyn Turgeon also includes profiles of true modern mermaids, tail makers, and mermaid bars; visits mermaid attractions like Weeki Wachee Springs; and provides tips on getting beachy mermaid hair and creating an alluring eye. This collector's item also includes an inset image on the front cover; ornate metallic blue foil patterning on the front, spine, and back; blue stained edges; a satin bookmark, and quality paper.

Great pillows!
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
I bought these to exchange some old pillows on my son's bed and let me tell you.. they are so soft he fell asleep almost instantly! They keep him nice and cool during the night, they have kept their shape so far and they support your neck perfectly.

give this amazon basic option a try
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
great comfort and value for everyday use. Designed with soft density, they provide gentle support that works well for stomach and back sleepers, helping maintain a comfortable sleeping position throughout the night. The down alternative fill feels plush yet lightweight, making the pillow cozy without being too firm. It holds its shape reasonably well and is suitable for guest rooms or daily use. While side sleepers may need more support, this pillow is a solid, affordable option for anyone looking for soft, breathable comfort.

I am very impressed!
This little frother is perfect and my frappé coffee tastes as if I were sitting at one of the hundreds cute, outside cafés in Thessaloniki. It whips stiff coffee foam in just a few seconds, holds charge for a long time, and appears to be of superior quality. Variable speed control is great, as it prevents the coffee liquid to splash when starting the frothing process. Granted, I have only owned it for about 2 weeks, but I am totally impressed, and hope it'll keep making delicious frappés for me for a long time to come. So far, highly recommend!

Whips as good as my Nespresso Aerocino!
Love this frother. Whips milk as good as my Nespresso Aerocino! I have tried several that just made light foam, but this one is wonderful. And, rechargeable also. Charge lasts a very long time. Great for travel!

Solid Upgrade, Needs Color Variety
Replaced my old frother with this one and it's a solid step up. Seriously, better build quality, more features, and noticeably more control. The variable speed dial is genuinely useful. Being able to dial from low (protein powder, matcha) to high (thick cappuccino foam) feels like an actual upgrade. The three whisk attachments give you flexibility depending on what you're making, and the included stand is a nice touch. Helps keeps the coffee bar counter from getting cluttered. Battery life seems strong so far; one charge has lasted through multiple weeks of daily use without issue. Pros: - Variable speed dial works well across a real range (not just "low" and "high") - Three whisk heads included — good for different drink types - Stand included; compact and stays put on the counter Cons: - Singular color option. The mint green clashes with everything on my coffee bar setup; wish there were neutral alternatives. ANY alternatives! - Everyone may not like the price tag but it wasn't out of my budget and the included extra bits made it worth it for me. If your kitchen palette doesn't fight the mint green, this is a capable, well-built frother at a decent price.
