This was an interesting story I spyed when I was on Yahoo. Unusual Whale Story I thought it might be of some interest to those that are interested in sea life, and the sea in general. :) I am amazed by it.

Your making me wish I could go! :) Count me in for next December will ya? I know I found some rental information on Key West when I looked for cheap, but this year is just a bad year for traveling for us. Hopefully next year we can, I had hoped we could this year, but I had to even cancel our trip to Carolina coming up. We might be in New Orleans in April 05, if anyone is interested in meeting out there. *casts her hook*

I put into port in SW Ohio, but how I long for the Pacific.

You want what is called a "Hoof Pick" You can buy then at tractor supply stores, or pick them up on the web. :) Their about 1.99 or so a piece. I saw some for cheap on www. statelinetack.com and their shipping is at a speical of 3.95 right now. My girlfriend said they are great for lacing. I use a ladder lacing when I do my bodice, and it helps take the stress off my finger tips. Also maybe consider using making tape on the ends, or getting a tipper for your lacing. It might actually help. :) Isabella :)

I picked this up while I was shopping a few months ago, but never found a place to put it on something. It's yer lucky day, cause I'm getting rid of it! It's a small patch about an inch and a quarter long maybe longer. I added it to my website for viewing. I only have one, and paid 3.50 for it, but made it 4.25 to include .75 cents for shipping. Take a look, and if ya like it take it home! Isabella Silver and Black Scull and Crossbones Patch

I got one for cheap online. 18.00 it's brown. I don't wear it, and my husband is opting for black, your welcome to mine if we could manage it get it there. I can scan it in. Isabella

Looks like we're out for this weekend. Hubs found out he works Saturday, and we've got the Coperate Picnic on Sunday at KI. We're trying later in the seas, but so far it's not been a wash out. We've got tickets for the shindig, but as to when we go, who knows! Let me know if you plan to go again this season. :) Isabella

Capt. Morgan emailed me over this beauty! we're both droolin' and wishin' we hit the lottery! She's beautiful Royalist! Wow. :)

Nifty! we're hoping possible to make it Sunday. I am talking to the Master *giggles* about it. I'll drop you an email on how to get a hold of us when you get local, so that if we can't and you guys would like to do dinner, that would rock. :) Isabella

Skot, We're hoping to be there one of those days *crosses fingers* but hubby goes into O/T in September starting that weekend, so it's possible. Where are you guys planning on staying? Up near there? Isabella

Wish I could go M'dear but I'm landlocked in Ohio. Little to far for me to fly for a party. :) Isabella

I have the address for contact with Cleaver, if you need to to be in contact you can contact me in PMs and I'll drop you his email for information beyond this below about the party.

Ahoy M'hearties! I have opted to have life take me else where beyond sewing, since now that I am working beyond the home, I needed a smaller more transportable business! So back to makin' of fine jewelry I go! I will have flintlock jewelry and other fun stuff. :) My jewelry is made for personalized tastes, so come take a look when I grand open! :) Mermaid Song Fun wear if you dare! :) Isabella!

Ack! Give me a day, or I can email you the picture. I'm dealing with a free website now, till I get the new domain up and running, which will be a day or so. :) Isa

sorry to disapoint! I was searching for new charms via my wholesaler, and came across these earings, and was curious if anyone had any interest in them? I am ordering charms currently for other projects, and was curious to see. They are sterling silver, but the posts are hypoallergenic metal, with a hypoallergenic clutch. I am going to order a pair for me, so if you want to see how I like them, let me know. Their 10mm tall and weight about 1.7 grams. I'm going to put them on my new site for 5.00 a pair. Isabella

Sheez if you asked me like that I would have given you a submarine...sandwich. Extra mao?

*grins You found your way into these waters. Muawhahahah! now that you've been sucked in there's not turnin' back!

I know Munky introduced me to it, but who else is out there who plays? I'm Izzybella on it. :)

I saw some rentals for 900.00 a week to 1500.00 a week for up to six folks, but you needed a 500.00 deposit on the rental, and 35.00 for the application hold. The places were beautiful tho.

You can always try dying it the right tone. Also, you could try getting the manufacturer off the bolt of the fabric, and writing them directly.

It all depends on the cost of the house in question, and how many folks we're stowing with. I'm into group housing as long as I can sleep at least six hours a night in a comfterble place, get a shower, and eat. I'm an incredibly light drinker, because my allergy prevents me from having too much hard liquore, so I can be the desgnated walker for anyone needing that. Are the homes walking distance from PIP? That would be the same week that I would want to be there, if I can get a flight cheap enough that close to Thanksgiving.

Oh that's wonderful KW! If we have to fly that will be the best way. I'm glad you offered up that idea, because it's something we need to know! :) You rock!

Looks like a woven brocade, I've seen something similar to it, but as for dead on, I'm not sure if I could get that far. When movie companies get their fabic they go EVERYWHERE. Their designers have the world at their fingertips, so it could be spiecal weaved. I found the stuff I'm talking about for a bodice at Joann's fabric, in the flat fold cuts table. It's tan with raised diamonds on it, with coloured dots on each triangle tip. It would work.

If you can get me a large photo of in high resolution, I can tell you what it is. I found these photos Store Front

If you end up hitting Memorial Day weekend, or *think* you might be going, I'd highly suggest booking now, you can cancel the reservations long before, if you can't go. :) But better safe to have a place to stow yer gear than none at all!
