It’s that time again! The Critz Tybee Run Fest  is right around the corner (February 3rd and 4th) and they are having their annual contest to choose this year’s t-shirt design! Many local and regional artists submitted, and some entries even came from as far away as Oregon and New Jersey! Loads of wonderful work was submitted and a panel of judges made up of race organizers and the Savannah Morning News did the hard job of narrowing the group down to the top five finalists. Now? Well, it’s your turn to help!

Check out the Top Five, think it over, pick your favorite, then head over and VOTE! Voting is happening now, and will run through January 5th. You’re voting for the design you think should grace the 2012 Critz Tybee Run Fest t-shirt! It’s going to be a hard choice…just look how wonderful they all are!

Check out the top five designs over on the voting page now!

Aren’t they great! Good luck to all the artists; we can’t wait to see which design is chosen for the t-shirt! Remember, you only have until January 5th to have your say in which design is the winner! Cast your vote now!

Mermaid Cottages Needs Your Creative Genius!

1 Comment / Fun on Tybee /

We love how many Mermaids and Mermen there are out there! And, even if you can’t live on Tybee Island with us, we keep trying to find ways to include you.  Y’all are just so darn creative and did such an amazing job with suggestions on new cottage names (Tucked Inn at Tybee, Made in the Shade)…that’s why we need your help again. We need you to help us with our tag line!

A tag line is a sentence or series of words that help describe a business, company or product.  Nike’s “Just Do It” is one of the best examples!  We’ve had two tag lines in the past – Discovery the Magic of Slowing Down and Cozy Cottages and Historic Homes away from Home – but we are looking for a new one!  We need to find a way to help express what the Mermaid Cottages experiences all about.  Even if you’ve never been to Tybee or stayed at our cottages, you can visit our Blog, Twitter, and Facebook pages and see what we are all about!  Some examples might be Blissful Beach Cottages, Cozy Up with Us, or Pure and Intentional Relaxation. We need to keep the tag lines to within six to ten words, but you can be shorter as well.  Now, we want you to post your submissions to our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page, so don’t worry about commenting here. Post your tag line ideas right to our Facebook Wall... we’ll be reading them all!

We’ll be collecting the submissions through Wednesday, May 4th,  so get your thinking caps on! After Wednesday, we will read all the submissions, choose our top favorites, and give everyone the chance to vote on them through a Facebook Poll! The person submitting the winning tag line will receive a package of fun, fabulous Mermaid Cottages goodies! We can’t wait to see what y’all come up with! Head over to our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Wall and submit your idea today.

Cottage Cheese: A Hammock, A Swing and a Shadetree

Leave a Comment / Posts by Cottage Cheese /

As the old saying goes, “Sometimes, I sit and think and sometimes, I just sit.”

Either way, I’m here to tell you there are three very important things needed to get the job done.  A Hammock, A Swing and a Shadetree.  I mean come on!  If there’s a job to do work smarter, not harder!  Lucky for me and for you there’s a new vintage cottage that’s being added to the Mermaid Cottages collection.  I’ll get a lot of sitting done here and I won’t even have to think too much about where to do it!

Jones Shade

The only thing this wonderful little two bedroom, two bath, pet friendly haven needs is a name!  Be sure to head on over to our Facebook page and vote!
