Mermaid Sightings

If you know anything about Mermaid Cottages, you know we love art! And of course, if that art incorporates mermaids, well that’s even better. Just look at these beautiful glass mermaids by artist Deb DiMarco! These beautiful pieces, both the Green Mermaid and the Dichoric Mermaids, are offerings from the National Liberty Museum Store in Philadelphia, PA. Here’s what their site has to say about the artist and her gorgeous work:

 “I love the balance of glass and that I can use it like very hot paint.” ~Deb DiMarco Studio del Vetro Salem, NJ. Working as an independent glass artist since 2006 Ms. DiMarco made the switch from 2-D to 3-D design. After retiring from a 20 year career in graphic arts, she enrolled in the Glass Program of Salem Community College in Carneys Point, NJ studying concept and technique from 2003 through 2006. Although Deb is primarily a flame worker, she enjoys exploring many of the possible avenues of working with glass and has used sand casting, mold-making, slumping, fusing and pate de verre to express her ideas. Ms. DiMarco stays actively involved in the glass art community, by teaching, volunteering at Wheaton Arts and giving live flame working demonstrations.”

We adore these beautiful pieces; so much so, we had to share them with you! Have you spotted a mermaid recently? Well, we’d love to hear about it! Please send your sightings and stories to us at diane@mermaidcottages.com. We’d love to feature your sighting right here on our blog!

If you are a fan of Mermaid Cottages, then it’s pretty safe to assume you love mermaids! Who doesn’t, right? Well, if you’ve been loving mermaids from afar, but want to add a touch of mermaid whimsy to your home, it can be a daunting task. Look no further! Look at these beautiful offerings from One Kings Lane!

Aren’t they beautiful? The sterling silver mermaid plate is stunning, and the mermaid pillow is definitely wonderful, but our favorite has to be the Mermaid Crossing sign! What a way to announce the magical surprise that mermaids are lingering nearby.  Any of these whimsical maidens should be a great addition to any mermaid lover’s abode, for sure!

It’s spring time, and the mermaids are coming out to enjoy the weather! Our sighting this week comes from our official Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page.  Jamie, a loyal fan from Tennessee, shared her sighting on our page and we had to make sure everyone got the chance to see it!

“We found a couple of mermaids in the Chattanooga, TN heat just watching traffic go by. I bet they were dry!” ~Jamie from TN

Thank you for sharing, Jamie! Hopefully, they found some water to cool off around there!

Have you seen a mermaid? Well, we’d love to hear about it! Please send your sightings and stories to diane@mermaidcottages.com, or follow Jamie’s lead and share them on our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page! We can’t wait to see what you share!

Around here, we know that mermaids can be spotted anywhere. Sometimes, they are where you’d least expect it! Rob, one of our loyal fans from Florida, recently attended his first Daytona Beach Bike Week and spotted something pretty cool while he was there. This is what he had to tell us:

“I was walking around a custom bike show and noticed a paint job that brought Mermaid Cottages to mind! There wasn’t an actual mermaid in the flesh, but these scales were pretty awesome. Who’d have thought I’d see something that reminded me of mermaids at Bike Week?!”

Thanks Rob! That’s beautiful! I guess mermaids really are everywhere!
