Pearlescent white mermaid soap dish: $4.99
Set of 4 victorian cherub print coasters in a tin: $.99
Both @ Value Village
That mermaid caught my eye right away! I loved her pose and expression...she seemed so flirty and carefree. I thought she'd be an amazing display piece. She's around 7 inches tall and 6 inches wide.
Most statuettes I see are horribly carved with super ugly faces, so this was a nice surprise. This is so nicely sculpted! She even has nipples.
But....I'm so mad. When I got home, I accidentally dropped the bag...her head broke off! I glued it back on, but you can still see the damage:
It still looks alright from far away, but up close it's so crappy. I really wish I was more careful, I already wrapped it in clothing but I didn't expect it to fall out.
I'll just see if I can replace it later on. I've seen them sell for $20+ online! A lot of them are painted too, which I think makes them look super ugly.
The coasters were an afterthought. I almost put them back, but I thought the image was worth $1. 2 of the coasters are pretty used, but the other half are fine.
