That smile says it all! Even mermaids can't resist playing with fire! 🧜‍♀️✨🔥

Our favorite mermaid from the Pirates and Mermaids Festival in Oscoda was absolutely thrilled to get her turn behind the torch—and she rocked it! From the moment she stepped up, her excitement was contagious, making everyone around her smile right along with her.

Best of all, she went home with a gorgeous handmade glass pendant that she created herself. We couldn't be more proud—you did an amazing job, and your pendant is absolutely beautiful!

Who knows... maybe we've just discovered the sea's next master glassblower! 🌊💙
