Mermaid Sighting: Beautiful Mermaid Decor

Mermaids make us smile around here, and that’s why we like to see them incorporated in someone’s decor whenever possible! Don’t know where to find the perfect mermaid? Well look at these beauties from Beach Grass! We love these ladies, and we’re pretty partial to that lovely sign, too!

Just some of the beautiful offerings from Beach Grass Shop!

Aren’t they fabulous! We think these are the perfect way to add a touch of mermaid whimsy to any beach cottage. Any room for that matter! You can find each mermaid by clicking here and here! Beach Grass is full of gorgeous coastal-inspired gifts and home decor, so make sure you check out the rest of their shop.

Have you seen a mermaid? We’d love to hear about it! Please send your sightings and stories to diane@mermaidcottages.com and keep a look-out, your sighting could be the next featured right here on our blog!

Mermaids in the Kitchen: Zucchini Lasagna

Everyone at Mermaid Cottages is just so excited about all the recipes pouring in for our Mermaids in the Kitchen Recipe Call! This week, Rob Sherbon from DeLand, Florida has shared his favorite recipe with us. Zucchini Lasagna!

“My mom used to make this at least once a week while I was growing up. It was always yummy and, between our parents and the four kids, there were rarely any leftovers! My wife and I enjoy making this when we have company because there’s always plenty to go around. I hope you enjoy it, too!” ~Rob in DeLand, FL

Thanks Rob! That picture has us hungry enough, we can almost smell it! We can’t wait to give it a try! And readers, make sure to scroll further down this page to get all the recipe information in one spot!

Do you have a recipe you’d like to share? Well please do! Send your recipes to diane@mermaidcottages.com (remember, pictures are always a plus!) and we’ll share your recipe right here in our Mermaids in the Kitchen post! We can’t wait to hear from you!
