About Amy and The Painted Mermaid
Opened in April 2010 and featuring everything from architectural salvage and home décor to my own handcrafted treasures as well as that of other local artists, The Painted Mermaid is perhaps best known for its quirky combination of old, new and everything in between, making it a frequent go to for everyone from the individual decorator or collector, to the local film and tv industry seeking props.
We are currently open Fridays 11-4, Saturdays & Sunday 10-4. Other times available by appointment. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more info.

10 Little Rules for Mermaids ... the book
It's not about mermaids, or about "being a mermaid", or even my having a store with Mermaid in the names.
It's about freedom.
And not about freedom from any one person, commitment or any actual PHYSICAL thing ... it's about exploring old trains of thought, escaping the feeling of needing to follow the same old path.
It's about personal evolution, discovering you, in your own way and in your own time.
It's about trusting the process and enjoying the journey.
And most of all, it's about being okay with what any or all of that may reveal along the way.
