Who found this image and story of a tiny floating shelter that, as she says, looks like it could be from Mermaid's Hands! The houses in Mermaid's Hands are made of salvaged wood and roofed with thatch, but with corrugated metal over the kitchen portion, but people living in Mermaid's Hands are adaptable and would love the painting on the side.

It was found floating 180 miles south of Grand Isle, Louisiana. Pen Pal starts with Em wondering what would happen if she could detach her house and have it go floating free--I guess this little house was finding out! (It turned out to have been a floating dock in Key West, Florida--so that's quite a journey it went on.)

Gotta love the art ♥

A house with wanderlust!

I love it! :o)

[asakiyume]

Some houses just have a sense of adventure, I guess!

I love the painting.

I love the painting too--I like that it's a mermaid with mer creatures, not with dry-land creatures.

When I was growing up a neighbor kid painted mermaids and other marine denizens inside the community pool. Sure made it feel special. There was an octopus under the diving board.

How wonderful--must have been so fun to swim over and see the octopus!

[petrichor_pirate]

That's lovely!

Isn't it pretty?
