Welcome to Manic Mermaid

A few stories ago, our main mermaid began collecting wondrous and fascinating treasures in her adventures throughout the earth. As with all tantalizing tales, our mermaid fell in love...although this time it wasn't with a prince, but with an incredible community in the heart of Tacoma, WA. From this love that God put upon her heart for this area, a (not boring) art galler

WE OUTTA HERE. 🦖💕🧜🏻‍♀️

The T-Rex has officially started packing, which is concerning because he has tiny arms and absolutely no qualifications.

We’ve got just 48 hours left at Point Ruston and EVERYTHING in the shop is 25% off. Come snag your treasures before they end up in a box labeled “probably crystals” and disappear into moving chaos.

We’ll be closed for a few weeks while we relocate, so we’d love to see your faces before we vanish into a cloud of bubble wrap and packing tape.

Find us starting mid-July at:

5436 South Tacoma Way
Tacoma, WA 98409

Come help us move less stuff. The T-Rex is doing his best, but frankly, we’re all a little worried about him.

Treasure Cove Update #47

The walls are no longer just walls.

They’re becoming the backdrop for future crystal discoveries, fossil finds, chocolate temptations, gift-giving victories, and countless “Oh my gosh, look at THIS!” moments.

Today, our amazing volunteers Stella and Cynthia helped turn a blank canvas into something worthy of a treasure cave. 🙏💕🧜🏻‍♀️ So grateful for their generosity and amazing skills!

“WEEEEEEEEEEEE!

We are endlessly grateful for everyone helping us navigate this giant adventure. Every volunteer hour, every prayer, every coffee, every encouraging message, and every helping hand is exponentially tranforming an empty space into the next chapter of Manic Mermaid.

The treasure hunt continues.

The mermaid has swum south.

And the walls are finally starting to look less like a doctor’s office and more like a place where magic might happen.

WEEEEEEEEEEEE! 🧜‍♀️💎🏴‍☠️

Mammoth Teeth just arrived and boy was I surprised!!🦣

Ok… these just got about 100x cooler.

Not only are these genuine Ice Age mammoth teeth with incredible natural detail from an animal that walked the earth thousands of years ago… but we just discovered they also react under UV light AND show phosphorescence. Meaning they continue glowing AFTER the UV light is removed. 🤯

That rare afterglow happens because of minerals preserved deep within the fossil over thousands upon thousands of years. Science + ancient history + glowy magic? Yes please.

Each one is completely unique with mesmerizing patterns, textures, and colors formed by time itself. Honestly one of the coolest fossil surprises we’ve seen in a long time.

Come see them in person before they amble off into new collections. 🦣✨
