There's something about mermaids that I just really like.  One of my co-workers loves them too and tried to get me to give her this set.  In fact, most of my friends like mermaids.  One of my friends showed up at a Halloween party in a handmade mermaid costume.  Shed gotten a skin tight flesh colored t shirt and glued shells over the strategic points.  From a distance she looked nearly topless.  Then we went house to house on a scavenger hunt and nearly caused traffic accidents.  It was awesome.

Getting back to the set, I tried to find mermaid embroidery designs that were more vintage but they were too intricate for the small sewing tools so I went with the little mermaid girls.  My favorite is the one with the shell & pearl in her hand.  I had to ask myself the question, do mermaids have purple hair?  I decided they do.

Specifics
The top of the box has 2 old-fashioned mermaid scenes - one where a little mermaid has gotten caught in the net of 3 fishermen.  There is a lace net behind the pictures and it is embellished with a seahorse, a star fish and a clamshell.

Inside is another old fashioned mermaid in black and white with a crown of hibiscus flowers on her head.  The wording says, "May your joys be as deep as the ocean; your sorrows as light as its foam."

Pincushion:  3" x 3"  This mermaid has lavender hair and is dressed in seaweed green.  There is a golden needle for good luck.
