Jars of words challenge

From one sweet idea to another, and Cornish writers collective Scavel and Gow are here at the festival with their jars of words. Pass by their stand and you'll be given a postcard and invited to collect an ounce of words from their jars. In honour of the festival they have a jar of specially chosen 'lord' words (such as grouse-shooting and servants quarters) alongside jars of love, temptation, garden, spare, small and literary words. Armed with a handful of words and some Prittstick, festival-goers create a story on the back of the postcard. Simple but very cute.

My words are:

Mermaid
Water bottle
Consuming
Feather pillows
That should do it
Watery
Footprints
Nightcaps and
Tingled
The full

My best effort is:

"Mermaid consuming nightcaps and feather pillows tingled the full watery water bottle. Footprints? That should do it."

Can you do any better with these words?
