Avast, ye scallywag!

I went to the Pirate Festival last weekend and have been meaning to post some photos of my booty!

…Not that booty, guys! Sheesh!

The haul is as follows:
Handmade chainmail necklace (yes, that’s me modelling it in my pirate garb)

Next up we have a beautiful handmade beaded necklace. The woman actually strung the whole thing together including the flowers and dragonfly. Can you believe it?

Here I am modelling it…

And finally, I got this awesome handwoven copper bracelet with shells, quartz, carnelian and czech glass:

I got another set of clothes for my pirate/renaissance look too, mainly a natural cotton top and a green skirt to go with my existing black bodice. My first outfit was a black bodice/corset over a bright red juliette dress.

Oh, what the hell. Here are some images of the outfits… first the saucy red:

And now the green one… which makes me look a little dumpy since I haven’t got it on properly. The pose is awful, I know. It makes me appreciate internet anonymity even more.

The good news is these outfits make my tits look huge and my waist look thin. The bad news is I have yet to be ravaged by a handsome and swashbuckling pirate man.

I managed to get all this for roughly $200 which is excellent by Pirate Festival standards. Some of these places charge ridiculous amounts for period costume! I’d say that all in all I found some good treasures!

See you at the tavern later for a pint o’ grog?
