Mermaids in Our Midst: Sue Tobey White

Leave a Comment / Mermaid's Friends and Family /

We recently had the good fortune of having a superb artist come for a stay at Mermaid Cottages! Sue Tobey White is a sculptor and painter from Belfast, Maine. Her vibrant, color filled canvases invite you in and surround you with delicious textures and fun themes. From her beautiful beach scenes and lively dancers to her delectable vegetables, there’s no way to keep from smiling when viewing her work!
If you ever get the chance to visit Belfast, Sue’s gallery is a must-see! She founded the High Street Studio and Gallery in 2002 and now she and other artists have their work there.

Sue taught elementary art for fifteen years in the Belfast area and now offers classes and workshops at High Street Gallery. Her work is inspired by the colors and symbols of children’s art as well as her love of Maine and her surroundings. Sue received her Bachelor degree in Art Education at Southern Connecticut State College and has attended numerous workshops in multiple mediums including watercolor, mask making, puppetry, clay, collage, doll sculpture, and color theory. According to Sue, workshops help to feed her need to create!

We are so honored to claim Sue as a fellow Mermaid. Hopefully, she will make it back to Tybee real soon! If you are interested in learning more about Sue Tobey White and her art work, make sure to visit her website. Better yet, if you’re in the area, don’t miss exploring her gallery at 149 High Street, Belfast, Maine. Either way, you’ll definitely be inspired!

Mermaids in Our Midst: Fallon’s Hair Cut

1 Comment / Mermaid's Friends and Family /

     This week, there’s an extra special Mermaid we’d like to tell you about! Fallon O’Neill (daughter of the owners of Sea Glass Cottage, Little Fish Cottage, and Tim’s Beach Gear!) has been growing her lovely locks for a while now, but just recently had 10 inches lopped off for a great cause!
Here’s the email Fallon’s mom, Tracy, sent to us:

“Hi Everyone!
     Fallon has been growing her hair out for several years and went yesterday to get it cut (9.5 inches to be exact)! She’s donating her hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, an organization that makes wigs for people with cancer. She was very excited and LOVES her new short, sassy haircut (and I do too!). It definitely fits her personality!! Here are some pictures of the big event…
Tracy”

     What a great cause, and what a wonderful girl! Congratulations Fallon, on such a selfless donation, and we love your new short and sassy ‘do! We are so proud to have such a giving Mermaid in our midst!

We never get tired of hearing from our guests! Each of you become part of the Mermaid family when you visit, and we cherish every one of you! Here are two recent emails from happy Mermaids about their stay at Back River Bungalow Cottage:

“I had such a wonderful time staying at the property as well as touring Tybee Island. The people there treated us like we belong at the house. We had the opportunity to use some of the recipes from Paula Deen’s cook book. It was very very good!”
· By Amazing from Memphis, TN 

“We enjoyed the quiet setting, lounging on the back and front porches with the breezes. Great place to enjoy your morning coffee or a late night drink. We walked to restaurants and in the neighborhood. Great times were had by all.”
· By L. Horseman from Louisville, KY

Thank you both so much for taking the time to share. Don’t be strangers…We hope to see you again real soon!

Mermaids in Our Midst; Canty’s Cottage

Leave a Comment / Mermaid's Friends and Family /

It always brightens our day here at Mermaid Cottages to hear from a recent guest who had a fabulous trip. This message definitely made us smile!

“Canty’s Cottage was a blast! My husband and two children and I were were visiting my family to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday. We decided to get a place at the beach, and we were so happy to have found Canty’s Cottage! The location was quiet and away from the “beaten path”. The rooms were very comfortable, and the little details like plenty of beach towels, spices in the pantry, and books to read on the shelf were so homey. The kids were thrilled with their bedroom with the cute night lights and playful motif. We would love to make the Canty’s Cottage visit an annual one!
By We Love Canty’s Cottage! from Lincoln, VT for a 8/1/2010 stay” 

Thank you so much for sharing your Mermaid Cottages experience with us, and we hope to see you again soon!

     Of course, summer is Tybee’s busy season, but we here at Mermaid Cottages love seeing our winter guests! Lan sent us this wonderful email after her recent trip to Tybee:

“Dear Diane,

Just want to let you know that we feel right at home here in Doodlebug Cottage and we love the peace and quiet of winter on Tybee.  I had contacted quite a few rental companies with properties along the coast of Georgia, and you were the friendliest and easiest to work with, you made it so easy for us to come to Tybee and we are grateful for that. Our dog Grace wants to send her “heartfelt thank you” as well, she loves Doodlebug cottage!  

Thanks to you and Mermaid Cottages Management,Lan, Ken & Grace”
