Mermaids in Our Midst: Blue Heron Happiness

Leave a Comment / Mermaid's Friends and Family /
We are always so happy to hear from you, our wonderful guests. It never ceases to make us smile from ear to ear, and this note from Lisa is no exception!

As a repeat Mermaid Cottage guest, I decided to try Blue Heron Cottage. For a two bedroom, it is quite large. The living area is comfortable, and open to the kitchen. The yard is beautifully landscaped, and in a nice location. Thank you Diane and David for a wonderful trip!

· By Lisa from Atlanta on 11/28/2010 for a stay in 11/1/2010

Thank you so much for letting us know how your visit was Lisa, and for being a repeat guest. We can’t wait to see you again!

Mermaid Sighting: Arria

Leave a Comment / Mermaid Sightings /

     Like people, mermaids come in all shapes and sizes, and this week, we have a doozie! Fellow merman, David, sent us this sighting and boy, is she breathtaking. Her name is Arria and she guards the entrance to the Scottish town of Cumberland. The post from My Modern Met, where David first spotted Arria, has loads of info about the statue, so make sure you head over there and have a look.

     The 33 foot high mermaid even lights up! What a sight this lovely lady must be at night, in person. I just love the article tidbit about the mermaid being thought to bring luck and prosperity to the village! They are wonderful talismans here on Tybee, for sure. Thanks for sharing David!
     Remember, mermaids are everywhere! Keep your eyes peeled…you may have a sighting of your own! If you do, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com and let us share your sighting with everyone!

Berkeley Update!

Leave a Comment / Service Dogs (Beach Bum Biscuits) /
Berkeley as just a pup!

     We are always so excited to hear from our friend Sandy, especially when she has news about the guide dog puppies we sponsor! Sandy recently shared this email with us about our star pupil, Berkeley:

Berkeley Springs- They are now working on him taking more responsibility for the walks. He has begun traffic training and will start their blindfold walks soon. They are working on his being able to concentrate while coming under more pressure to make decisions that lead to a successful and safe walk. The trainer has no problems to report at this time. He is still a great dog to work with and his trainer is very much enjoying him.

     We couldn’t be prouder of Berkeley! He is going to make someone a wonderful guide someday soon…I can feel it. Remember, you can help us with this great cause. Your stay with Mermaid Cottages will continue the efforts to support Southeastern Guide Dogs’ Puppy Sponsorship Program. Contributions made from Mermaid Cottages rentals make it possible for a disabled individual to realize their independence through the use of a service dog. These programs also assist returning soldiers soldiers with a variety of needs including stress and post traumatic disorders. We also support The Guide Dog Foundation For the Blind. Since 1946, the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, Inc. has provided guide dogs free of charge to blind people who seek enhanced mobility and independence. Contributions from Mermaid Cottages rentals help make it possible for disabled individuals to realize their independence through programs like this!

     You can also help by purchasing our Beach Bum Biscuits! Proceeds from each bag of bakery-made biscuits goes to support this wonderful cause as well. You can visit our website for more information, or pick up a bag of Beach Bum Biscuits next time you’re on Tybee at Seaside Sisters! Thank you so much for enabling us to continue our sponsorship of our guide dogs…and Berkeley thanks you too!
