“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

Heart(s) of the ocean





Far off in the ocean where
the waters are a cool, clear blue
lives an amazing creature
named Halcyon.

She has long glittery hair and jewel encrusted tentacles.
 
Collecting heart shaped stones 
that she finds scattered along the ocean floor
is one of her favorite things to do.

If you happen to catch a glimpse of 
her sitting on a rock on nights when the moon is full
please be very quiet..she's shy.
 
 
 
 
 This is what you need to create the hearts of the ocean sailor's valentine
