There’s nothing fishy here. This Mermaid is thankful that my heart beats in rhythm to a trio of puppy dog tails. Danny, Sophie and Boomer are my ambassadors for love, life and caring. They each came into my life at different times for different reasons and, just like pieces of a puzzle, they fit and click and see me and accommodate me.
Here’s Danny!
It’s their passions and capacities for acceptance that guide and maintain the plan to make room for pets in my life and my business. They also help remind me we’re here to serve and share and make living much more enjoyable at Mermaid Cottages. …
“Lovely cottage for a relaxing island vacation. Great cottage, wonderful location. Bright and airy with a well-appointed kitchen…. Customer service second to none. Would return in a heartbeat.” …

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!
