Mermaid Lore

Leave a Comment / Mermaid Sightings /

You know, mermaids have been around for a very long time. It’s always fun to learn about them, especially when you can read stories from different countries from around the world! Our fellow mermaid, Melissa, sent us this wonderful link, and we just had to share it with all of you. There are stories from cultures around the world!

Humanity.org has a section full folklore from around the world…and they even have a section of mermaid stories! All of them are fabulous, but Melissa’s favorite was definitely The Mermaid’s Twin Sister, from Trinidad. We couldn’t agree more! Brew a hot cup of coffee and settle in, because these tales are all worth the read! Thank you for sharing Melissa. We love them all!

Have you seen a mermaid or have a story to share? We’d love to hear from you! Please send your pictures and stories to diane@mermaidcottages.com. Your sighting could be the next featured right here on our blog. We can’t wait to hear from you!

Girlfriend getaways are possibly the best thing a group of women can share. There’s just something about being with your girlfriends that re-energizes and refreshes the soul. We know a thing or two about that around here at Mermaid Cottages!  Well, if you are looking for a getaway to connect with like-minded women, and even make some new friends, look no further than The NewHeight Group and their Getaway Weekends for Women!

Getaway Weekends are designed to foster the perfect combination of interesting women, networking opportunities, and exploration of new and important topics about changes women experience and how we transition in life. These getaways are small, with only about 10 to 12 women, to keep things intimate for active discussion and interaction. No doubt you will leave with new friends, new perspectives, new opportunities, the tools to move forward, and a renewed appreciation for taking time to step away from the world and take a little time for yourself.

Memories of September 11th

1 Comment / Mermaid's Friends and Family /

Recently, Mermaid Cottages was lucky enough to have Amelia and her lovely daughter Anneka  stay with us at Inlet Breeze Cottage. We’ll let this very special blog post from Christine of Christine Hall Photography in Savannah tell the story…

September 11

originally posted Monday, September 12, 2011

“I do not think I will forget what I did on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. It is easy to detach when you do not know anyone who has died fighting for our country, but the longer it goes on the more and more real it becomes. I photographed this mother and daughter yesterday who lost their husband/father in November of last year and I really wanted to hug her and thank her husband for fighting for our country. Actually, I did hug her at the end, but it is really special and emotional to take these photos for them.”
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos with us Christine!

Christine, thank you so much for allowing us to share your touching September 11th memories and beautiful photographs. And our hearts and thanks go out to Amelia and Anneka. Thank you so much for you bravery and for the service of your beloved husband and father. It is so very true, freedom isn’t free. Thank you for your courage and sacrifices and God Bless you both.
