Hey Good Lookin’ What’s Cookin’?

Leave a Comment / Fun on Tybee /

Hey good lookin’…what’s cookin’?  Why J-Prons, of course!

These fabulous accessories are the handy work of Jackie Callahan and her company, J-Prons! Jackie is a self proclaimed “semi-empty nester” and wanted to fill her evening down time with creativity she doesn’t get the chance to let loose at her day job as a registered nurse for an insurance company.

“I have always loved to cook and, for some unknown reason, always loved aprons,” Jackie told us.

So, she found a pattern, bought some yummy fabric, and pulled out her 28 year old Singer sewing machine. Not long after, her first apron was finished and the addiction began. Jackie says it has been so much fun finding whimsical fabrics and fine-tuning her own designs.

 “My husband, Tim, came up with the company name, J-Prons. Jackie+Arpons=J-Prons! In addition to the aprons, I also make slouchy shoulder/beach bags and baby/toddler hats. So, like our motto says, we’ve got you covered!”

Make sure to head over to the official J-Prons Facebook Page and learn more about these fun, fabulous designs and keep up with all the new additions!

Tis The Season To Buy American!

Leave a Comment / Mermaids Make a Difference /

Have you ever stopped to check where some of the products you purchase are actually manufactured or created?

How many times do you automatically pick up a product and purchase it without reading where it’s produced and without knowing whether it helps support the American economy and American workers?  It’s not always easy, but it’s a good habit we should all practice when we can.

This year Mermaid Cottages wants to spotlight products and services created and produced here and we want to encourage everyone to take the time to look closer at purchases we all make.  We’ll be sharing our favorite Made In America goods and we hope you will, too.  When you find great products you’d like to help promote please share them with us on our Facebook page, on Twitter and with comments on our blogs.

Each of us has the power to affect change and to take an active part in creating jobs and stimulating the economy.  We’ll start the ball rolling by announcing that Mermaid Cottages is offering Gift Certificates for stays in our cozy cottages and historic homes.  You can purchase Mermaid Cottages Gift Certificates in any denomination or you can design your own Gift Certificate for an entire stay.  We can even help you with Gift Certificates for specific cottages!  And, don’t forget you can even purchase our world famous Mermaid Cottages Morning Bliss Coffee, our all natural Beach Bum Biscuits Dog Treats, our Note Cards and Calendars created by celebrated artist Fifi Flowers and how about our new J-Prons!
