PHOTO UPDATE Wild Caribbean Potion Headdress Cocktail Hat: The Destiny of Things, Story 531

PHOTO UPDATE Wild Caribbean Potion Headdress Cocktail Hat: The Destiny of Things, Story 531

I am so excited to share photo updates for this Tiki Bar concoction that one can wear! Hold on to your hat or NOT because you'll want to trade it in for this one!  BYOB or BYOCP!

Is that a real goldfish in there?  Everything possible in this oasis to relax, swim in, play or wear!
No fish or pets were harmed in this photo shoot!  Drink not included, but the fish bowl is!
Order and see this oasis close up at the link here!

Bring your own Caribbean Potion while you ooh and ahhh at this creation and wonder what all is on there and how it stays on so deliciously!

I lost count at 20 of all the fun decorations that are used to make this concoction!  It has everything you need for your own portable tiki bar or Caribbean cocktail potion, like swizzle sticks, little mermaids, real shells, paper umbrellas, orange garnishes, tropical flora and fauna, all with a cherry on top!  and of course, it's a maraschino cherry.

I heard you can even add on tiki lights or glow sticks, fish candy to eat, while you wear it, if you can reach them and so much other stuff, it'll blow your mind!  And the real "blow your mind" miracle?  It all balances on your head to be taken any where you go!  What that secret ingredient is, I have no idea!

Wonder who's wearing the "everything but the kitchen sink" oasis headdress and where the huge luau cocktail came from?


Introducing Jezebel, who is the creator of this luscious tropical headdress and Beachbum Berry, who is reviving the tiki bar experience at Latitude 29 in New Orleans!  Check out in full detail on the luau headdress here  on Etsy and Beachbum Berry's tiki bar revival in New Orleans, here.

Wondering where I come in?  I am thankful to be able be a small part of this beautiful creation and to sail off the little mermaids to Jezebel and watch her work her magic!

Just imagine these little mermaids adding beauty to any cocktail drink's rim, but nothing compared to a fish bowl headdress!  We have 8 different colors of mermaids at the moment at all 4 of our shops!

Here they are in sync doing the back stroke!  We have 8 different colors of mini mermaids left in stock, which are usually used to hang  on your cocktail drink or to decorate your cupcakes, but this story and use is beyond the imaginable!  Available here, photo via VintageToGoEasy

Add these to your New Year's Eve champagne toast, wedding or other milestone toast, luau, tiki, tropical oasis, cupcakes, plants, yes, we know a couple Etsy buyers who use them as plant jewelry or go classic and dress up your bar cart, or even your fish bowl, aquarium or terrarium!  We have one hanging in our fish bowl on a shell to keep our Betta company!

Below is an example of the ultimate tiki bar cart with accessories and take one last look at Jezebel's creation!  Unless you buy it and then it's yours to wonder at forever!  It's still available here, but it's in someone's cart to order!  So hurry!  but no worries, Jezebel is very kind and friendly and I'm sure she'd make one just as you imagined with all your creative wonderment and heart's desired bells and whistles included!

Saying Goodbye:  I should be saying "Hello" because I think I might need one of those tiki fish bowl headdresses just to help out my posture!  It sure looks way better than the stack of books I use!  About the little mini cocktail mermaids, we might be saying goodbye to them because it's getting more and more difficult to source them and even more importantly, I'm ready to move on to my next adventure!

Let these mini mermaids swim in sync on your next Little Mermaid party cake or cupcakes just for fun!  These look great arranged on a cake like above or a few on cupcakes or even just one, available here.  Photo via JunkDrawerAndMore

What I Learned:

1.  New friends, like Jezebel can work miracles on helping me overcome my holiday blues.  Her emails are full of kindness and her reaching out to me as a friend has showed me that the Christmas spirit is everywhere all the time!  and that I can make it past this last hump into the New Year looking forward to more beauty and inspiration!

2.  I'm willing to say goodbye for good to many of my major and minor obstacles that seem to come and go in my life and leave them all in the past of 2018.  I am excited for New Year 2019 and have already started several of my New Year's Resolutions for a more healthy year with new friends, experiences and adventures!

3.  For example, I read some where a couple of times that after 30 years of age, women lose a half a pound of muscle annually, so since I'm over 50 that's 10 pounds of muscle I've lost at least!  And since I seem to be gaining more and more fat and it's becoming more and more difficult to decrease the amount around my thighs, hips and stomach, I'm going to lift weights to see what kind of difference it will make on my body fat and health.

However, since I have adrenal fatigue, which is improving faster than what I've read about, and need to be careful with how I exert my energies, I am going to start with teeny tiny baby steps, which I've begun.  I've been doing three kinds of different yogas for several months now to slowly strengthen my body and am ready to add a new routine of lifting small weights.

What are your New Year's Resolutions?  and do you write them down?  I forget the percentage of success of writing them down vs. not writing them down, but I have found that I usually succeed at 90% of all my New Year's Resolutions if I write them down and put a future completed date next to each one.

I've let go of all my cocktail glasses on Etsy, so here are the glasses I have left as an example of what they look like on champagne, kids cups and tumblers.

Thank you Etsy buyer, Jezebel Lobelia, from Etsy shop,  JezebelsFascination for sharing your story and sending updated photos!  I love them all!! Your wild imaginative description of what you did with the mermaids in the last post, here, looks amazing now and is better than described!  And now you can see with photos!  

I'm very grateful to be a tiny part of your tropical fish bowl oasis headdress and wish I could be a fly on the headdress to see how who buys it and go wherever they go with it on!

I'd add a photo of her model wearing the headdress with all it's tropical lore and love, but I'd rather have you see it with your own eyes, here and while you are there, you might as well check out all 134 of her diverse fascinators, millinery and cocktail hats at her shop, JezebelsFascination with all her goodness and creativeness!  

I am still an introvert, so here's the one I'd wear here, but if I were an extrovert, I'd be wearing this one here.  It even lights up!  Actually if I were an extrovert, there are too many too choose from!  Thank you Jezebel Lobelia for your kindness, friendship and inspiration!  It has helped me more than I could ever explain!  It's even helped slow down my hoarding, which I kinda fell off the wagon with over the winter blues.

My purge pile is starting to haunt me, so I will need to make a decision soon on it.  I'm leaning towards driving it off to donation because I know in my mind it's not going to kill me, even though it feels that way in my heart.  I can only see what happens and live through it consciously to add strength to myself.

Maybe someone out there can do something unique with these monkey cocktail or cake toppers.  A barrel of them would look playfully fun on a large tropical plant monkeying around! Available here.  Photo via Hoarder Rehab

Sales for the New Year 2019 have brought us back up to our weekly average of about 25 and although I thought Christmas sales were not as good as last year I think I might be wrong about it, according to Etsy's "Year in Review," either way a lot of my hoard, too much to count have found new lives and homes in 2018! and that's enough to be grateful!

I'm still working hard daily and with little baby steps to change my thinking about abundance and scarcity and all my new thinking towards Etsy and life in general and I feel as though it's starting to work!

Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed weekly: HoarderRehab with 173 items, The Destiny of Things- 174 items, VintageToGoEasy - 173 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 175 items.   

Maybe you'll find something and give it new life and a new home!  Thanks for looking!

24 or 38 assorted animals and mermaids or all animals for your Happy Hour or Cake Hour, available here.  They are becoming more difficult to source, so we most likely won't be restocking them.  Photo via JunkDrawerAndMore
