Mermaid Cottages invites you to our candyland of cottages for your family portraits!

Everyone knows Tybee Island is a wonderful paradise for spring and summer fun, but have you ever thought about enjoying our little hamlet by the sea for the off season?  Our cozy cottages and historic homes are the perfect backdrop for your holiday get togethers and what better place to record these special memories?

These are the moments…the special gifts in every life…

One very photogenic and special family did just this on a recent visit to our very romantic Old Love Cottage.  Angie, Trent and their sweet baby, Scout, spent a few days with us and they brought the remarkable Folds & Ghiloni Photography to capture this moment in time.

Hey Good Lookin’ What’s Cookin’?

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!

Are There Mermaids In Scotland?

Are there Mermaids in Scotland?

You bet! We have the photographs to prove it!

Our wonderful Mermaid Melissa and Mermaid Judy and their mermen recently took a trip of a lifetime from our little hamlet by the sea all the way to the United Kingdom where they made their way through Scotland to Loch Ness and to Invergarry Castle.  Wherever they went they were admired, but was it for their obvious beauty or was because of what they were wearing?   Hmmm.

Now you can sport our signature Mermaid Tees, too.  Of course, we hope you’ll come visit soon and pick one up (or more) while you’re here, but if you can’t wait just get yours from Seaside Sisters!
