These are two vintage images. The mermaid was painted by E.S. Hardy, and the little fairy was painted by F. White, both talented artists of yore.
I would like to splash a bit in some water. It is very hot here. We are having record temperatures, in the 100's. Sometimes I go thru the McDonald's drive-thru and order a big cup of ice-water. Then I dump it on myself, in the car, right over my little pea head and down the neck of me dress.
The last time I did this, the manager came to the window and gave me two coupons for free iced coffees! He's a nice guy.
Elegant delicate lovely fairy and mermaid!
Now are you serious about dumping the water on your head in the car! Really? Are you teasing us, cause you never tease. You're straight serious. Well, I'd at least get out in the drive through and dump it on my head.
I hope your weather breaks soon. They're saying we're in for an El Nino year in CA. Can you say UH OH?
Dearie, I have one of those water-proof cars. I have to, what with the water-pouring tendencies and also the problem of having the window open in the rain sometimes. However, I found out it isn't near as waterproof as what they said.
LOL Penniwig...and I love the fairies!
Oh Dame! What a funny spirit you are, Great Idea next time I forget my water I carry. I used to walk around my house as a kid balancing a cup of ice water on my head and I got pretty good. This way Mom could not say, " NO More Ice" as they came in the old metal trays then. LOL! :-)
I adore your mermaids and fairies, they are in my spirit too. Of course I will saave them , I also adore your they were once catapillars up on top left also!
Thanks and Smiles, Cyndi
Olde Dame you can always make me smile! Great graphics too!
Oh Dearie...I feel so bad for you in that heat! I for one can't take the heat, it makes me nauseous and sick! I hope you get some relief soon. Maybe you can take a fancy bandana or large kerchief, soak it in water, freeze it, then tie around your neck??? Less messy than the water dumping, and would keep your car a little dryer:)Not sure how long it would stay frozen though in those temps. Do you have AC in your house? If so, stay home and send someone else on your errands, lol!!!
I could not take those temps for long...Recently it has been about 75 degrees here, and that's just fine with me!!!
You have quite a unique way of beating this TX heat! Never thought of that one...probably won't try it...would short out the seat and zap me!!
This mermaid looks like she has life figured out. She looks so cool and dreamy. Beautiful graphics!!
It is cool here in NJ this morning..my daughter will send you a big hug for the mermaid..her current obsession!
Lovely graphics on this HOT Friday here in Texas! Sounds like you know how to stay cool!! I just stay inside with the AC and don't venture out if I don't have to. Hope you have a great weekend.
You are really a fairy godmother to create those sweeties.
Pouring iced water over your head. Ooohhhh you must be so hot.Do you have air conditioning in your car?
But if i get free iced coffees I would pour iced water on my head too. Ha...ha
you crack me up!! oh how i enjoy visiting you! :) Thank you soooooooooooooo very much for sharing such GREAT graphics! it's gonna be a HOT one here too this weekend... triple digits all the way!! POOLTIME! WOHOO! :) Have an AWESOME weekend!!
our weather hasn't been that hot..its actually been a rather cool summer so far...we only have had about 5 days of hot weather but August is usually our hot month...I am a fan of F. White drawings, that little fairy is so pretty and delicate..love the mermaid too!
Dear Lady Penniwig,
that is the sweetest mermaid I have ever seen....did you ever see the movie, The Mermaid Chair....awesome movie....I only think it was a made for TV movie but it was based on a book.
You receive one big star for a deed you did today...you just don't want people to know what a "GOLDEN ANGEL" you are but I know
If I knew how to do graphics I would take one of your angels I fell in love with...that I post by my name and I would create....debbie's
Golden Angel Award......for a silent deed and you would be the first receipent
Angel Hugs

Good Morning Sweet Penniwig. That mermaid is coming home with me. I just love her. She is so beautiful. What a jewel you are and don't even know it. I have left something on my blog for you. Please stop by and pick it up. You have so touched my life, in ways you will never know. Country love and hugs, Sherry
Now that's my idea of staying cool, ice water and iced coffee... I feel for you and the temps. We are headed back up here it was nice for a few days after a month in Hell...
Got to run got more corn ready to bag up.
Happy Week-end
You need to keep your cool!!
Hope it cools off a bit for you.
I love that mermaid, I have the same one.
I used her for a crown that I made.
You have a great weekend,
Rosemary
Hello Penniwig
I have not been to your blog before,I love it, so fun, and your humor... I am still smiling:) Love the little flowers that keep floating by me. I found you on Country Wings.I am glad I did Iam off to see more.
Hello Penniwig,
I love the floating flowers they are so cool and it's great they don't seem to mind what your doing they just float along minding their own business....lol (how did you do that?) or what script did you use?
I love your site it's so cool and your vintage images are great too. I love to seeing them they remind me of my childhood we had some nursery rhyme books that had those little cuties in them. I think I found some on Flickr a while back and saved them I'll have to dig them out and share them. Have a great weekend
