The Mermaids Tale.

                            This is the story that accompanies Morveren the Cornish Mermaid.
                            It is based on a Cornish Folktale, I've simplified it for a little girl.

                    Here's the front cover, a pretty picture with plenty of hand dyed lace.



                             The inside tells the story
                               and this is the back cover.                                                                 

It's gone off to that special little girl now courtesy of Royal Mail, I hope she likes it.

Here's a little look at my Christmas Tree, if you want a tour of my home pop over to my other blog and take a look.

I've lots more ideas for creating in the New Year keep watching.

XoX Angela.
