Happy Hapa Makes Us Very Happy - Mermaid Towel & Barbie Dresses

My friend Sharon makes the coolest mermaid tail towels made out of soft terry cloth.  The ties and bias tape are handmade using coordinating batik fabric. The ties are long enough to tie around the front or the back.  Ever since I first saw them on Sharon's blog, I just knew that ER would love one, and ordered a special one in the Cinderella shade of blue that's her favorite color. 

She looks so cute with it on!  All summer long I planned on taking a picture of our little mermaid enjoying it at one of our Great Lakes but due to being pregnant and then because I'd had a C-section we didn't spend nearly as much time as I'd have liked at the beach.  So you'll have to get a look at it, in our bathroom, where the shower curtain goes well with it, don't you think?

I thought that since our time at the beach and pool is coming to an end, man has it been cold in Michigan, that the mermaid towel would be getting put away until next year but ER's found new uses for it.  She loves playing dress up in it, I guess she finds it to be a much more girly version of a dress up cape!  I'm glad, because it's just too cute to put away!

Here's a close up of the fabulous batik fabric from Sharon, it's just gorgeous!  ER is not the only one in the house dressed up in her Happy Hapa finery.  At the same time I ordered the mermaid towel, I also got her a polk dot and mermaid dress for her Barbie dolls.  The girls look very fashionable and ER loves the dresses because they are so easy for her to get on and off by herself.   

Check out my friend Sharon at Happy Hapa. We love her creations like my camera strap and I've got my eye on a hooded towel, like this one, for my next purchase.
