Eight Times Our Guests Turned Into Mermaids

Here are eight times our guests turned into Mermaids (and Mermen).  Splish, splash, poof and there they were.  No worries.  No stress.  No lines.  No wrinkles.  It’s as if time stood still in that perfect moment.  It’s called Tybee Time.  See for yourself.

About the artists, Bo and Morgen:

Mona's Christmas Mermaid

“In August of 2011, an introduction by the pianist at our church led to a personal and professional relationship which has encouraged us to explore our creative talents.
Bo uses wood, both harvested and found, to create beautiful pieces of furniture and home decor items.  He also enjoys capturing local scenery with watercolors.
Morgen enjoys painting with acrylics, photographing the beautiful region in which they live, and creating whimsical items with polymer clay.”

We love learning about these wonderful artists from Darien, GA and we look forward to meeting more of their mermaids!  Thanks to Mermaid Mona for sharing and y’all be sure to send your Mermaid Sightings to diane@mermaidcottages.com.  Mermaids add just the right touch to your holiday decorations!
