Hi VivBraznell. No, I haven't seen Mermaid's Wine Glass yet. But I'll be on the look-out! ;)

Hi Blogie! I'm trying to identify this spotting - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/101... from earlier today and thought it was possible that you might have it amongst your vast collection but no luck. I don't suppose you know what it is please?
