Yes, it’s cold and that’s why we love our Tybee bun warmers. It may be downright freezing where you are, but on Tybee one thing’s for sure. The sun will come out tomorrow. If not today’s tomorrow it’ll be out the next. For those iffy days when the sun is up and the temperatures are down, we just back up to a fire pit, an electric fireplace or even sprawl out on a deck with our cheeks to the sky. Just where does one find all of these extravagances in the dead of winter? At Mermaid Cottages on Tybee Island!
