Celebrate St Patrick’s Day With Mermaid Cottages

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Mermaid Cottages this year. It’s been nearly three years since Savannah hosted its St. Patrick’s Day parade, but with the luck of the Irish, we’ll celebrate this year. Known as one of the largest in the U.S., the parade draws tens of thousands to the Hostess City to experience marching bands, decorated floats and green beer. Just take a look at this year’s schedule.  You’ll be ready to shout, ” Erin go braugh”!

First, the Grand Marshal Public Investiture takes place Sunday, March 6, at 2:45 p.m. at Georgia Southern Armstrong Center (11935 Abercorn St.). This is the formal investiture of the parade grand marshal and introduction of his family and aides. Where To Stay:

Out And About In Savannah With The Midwest Mermaid

The Midwest Mermaid is our winter guest blogger and Mermaid Cottages is so happy to share her latest blog post. She’ll be sharing a photo blog of her snowbird stay with us as she works remotely from Tybee Island.

This week we have the special delight of being out and about in Savannah with The Midwest Mermaid. Savannah is known as the Hostess City of the South and that means lots of encounters with the locals. Southerners love to display simply charming and truly Southern manners. They’ve got South in their mouths.

The Joy of Magazines

I just love magazines. Nothing makes me happier then to have a big stack of magazines to go through before I recyle them. Right now I have a large stack and am getting through them a few each night. I love to pull articles out to send to people to let them know I’m thinking about them ( found a great article to send to my sister about the “Hon Fest” in Baltimore where every June a festival occurs to pay homage to all those “Ballmore” gals who call everyone “Hon”.). Other article treasures I found tonight include a great idea for Brown Bag Lunches to share with my friend Susan that she can use for the an upcoming Vintage Trailor Tour on Tybee Island. Then, an article on a local SCAD graduate and Savannah artist, and best of all, some inspirations collected by writer Mary Engelbreit. They’ve inspired me and I want to share!

“Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on Fire.”
Anonymous

“Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off! But if you don’t have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and those who will follow after you.”
Amelia Earhart, American aviator

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; There is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.”
Mary Engelbreit.

Now, I’m on to the next stack which includes a bunch of Southern Livings! By the way, if you ever want to read about Mermaid Cottages in the media, just follow right along with our handy list of publications, writers, producers and special friends we’ve worked with over the years.  Go to our Home page, hover over the Community tab and then scroll down to Mermaids in the Media and click on the tab.  It’s always a great honor and a thrill to be mentioned and even we get giddy when we look back on how many times we’ve been featured.  Read all about us and then come on down when you can.  We invite you to share your photos, your comments and your blogs about your stays with Mermaid Cottages on Tybee Island.
