This week, our sighting comes from our very own Mermaid Mona! Mona is our newest Mermaid Cottages family member and does a fabulous job helping us with guest services. Well, Mermaid Mona has outfitted her desk with loads of lovely ladies, but her most recent addition takes the cake!

Mermaid Sighting: Beautiful Mermaid Table

There’s nothing better than a mermaid sighting waiting in our email! This week’s sighting comes from Ginny Fleming. She and her husband brought it home with them after one their visits to Sarasota, Florida.

“We found it at a downtown concrete-statue shop on the Tamiami Trail. It was “memaid-only” for under $150 and he later found the glass at a local flea-market for $5.00. Yep, $5.00! It’s my most favorite mermaid…”

Ginny tells us she is a huge collector of all things mermaid and merman. She’s even written a novel! Keys of Illusion was written with her “growing stash” of mermaids as inspiration.

Thank you so much for sharing your sighting with us, Ginny! She is just beautiful!

Mermaids are unique beings,to say the least, but BOY do these sightings take unique and quirky to an entirely new level! Our own Mermaid Melissa sent us this first sighting, but the subject was so intriguing, we had to search further!

“I was pinning to my Mermaids pinboard on Pinterest and came across something that combined two of my favorite things! Mermaids…and sock monkeys! I couldn’t resist, I had to share this with you. Just the idea screamed Tybee Quirk to me!” ~Melissa S.

 

How awesome is THAT?!

Isn’t that amazing?! Who doesn’t love sock monkeys? Pinterest is SO amazing; there’s no telling what you might see! We were so excited about this little sock monkey, we wondered if there was a secret society of these wonderful creatures…and we were right! Look at all these Sock Monkey Mermaids!

Scooter the Sock Monkey Mermaid

This cool fella was featured on the Camp Sock Monkey blog. They said it was “Scooter’s Sock Monkey Mermaid yarn art by Sappymoosetree.” So cute!
