    I love the sea, wish I lived near one. I love being on the water. I am a professional seamstress and have sewn garments from almost every period of time. I enjoy going to renaissance faires, pirate festivals (only one so far) and cowboy reenactments. I like to read books by Shakespere, Dickens, and Poe. I also like historical books.
  1. If people aren't opposed to driving twenty minutes or so, Cedarburg has some nice b&b's and a nice hotel too with plenty of shopping for the off hours as well. Or there is a hotel just off of the freeway in Grafton near Target and Home Depot too.
  2. Happy belated natal day Merry, sounds like it was a grand affair!
  3. When I made mine, I used liquid laundry starch and used a paint brush to apply it on both inside and out. Then I put toilet paper rolls where I turned the edges up and pinned the turned up parts so they would stay till dry. After is was dry I glued maraboo and trim to the edge and I was done. Very simple and looks good too. And it has kept its shape for over a year. Of course it has never gotten wet but, I think if it did all I would have to do is pin it up again till it was dry.
  4. Sorry to hear you are ill Lady B. I hope you will recover very soon. And I will look forward to seeing you again at Port Pirate Fest this summer.
  5. My sister wants to know if his fathers name was bootstrap......(snicker)
  6. I am planning on being there Saturday, not sure when I'll get there and not sure when I'll leave. But it sounds like it will be fun.
  7. I will see you at the festival Sally. I will be watching the dog pulls during the day and the beer tasting and breakfast sound great! Can't wait to see you at the bed race!! Too fun!
  8. I was there once many years ago and it was very nice. Lots to see and I picked up a few things I could use for reenacting there. I enjoyed it very much.
  9. I would be inclined to show up. I would love to meet more of you all. But, it depends on the cost and the weather. I'm not going to go in a blizzard ya know..... the sails ice up on my ship and it's hard to steer.
  10. If I am correct, at the Sturgeon Bay Pirate exhibit in Door County, there is a painting that looks exactly like Cascabel. I think the title even has his name in it. It is a wonderful portrait.
  11. I'll be at Bristol on the 11th. I may just take a side trip into Kenosha since there will be tall ships there. The lake is only about a half an hour away from Bristol.
  12. I had a great time and so did my sister. It was fun making new friends and catching up with old friends. I can't wait till next year!
  13. I went to the museum on Saturday. I must say I was a little disapointed that there were so few artifacts. I was expecting more. The best part was the paintings by the man who created Captain Morgan. I don't think it was worth it for the length of the drive up there. Oh well.....
  14. this may be a bit off topic but I would love to have the music box Davey Jones had. Anyone know if it is available?
