cpts plesur wnch

born, raised, and stuck in virginia, bout 10 minutes away from DC and about an hour from The Maryland Renaissance Festival. I always said when i get older i was going to move, but i'm kind of partial to being this close to MDRF, but i have a while before my parental units decided to kick me out...

AMEN TO THAT!

It's probably nothing with compared to what most of you have, but to me this is a very cool little shelf of goodies

On the left is a row of old 18th and 17th century houses, excisting ones, wich we could colect a couple of years back in a store overhere.

In the middle a very insignificiant but since i cannot afford more, to me just fine model of the Bounty.

Just right in front of the ship, an Universal equinoctal dial ring.

And on the full right, my treasure chest , a little more to the right is a Pirate figure, complete with Jack Sparrow hat, beard, eye patch and a wooden leg.

Quite a handsome bloke

If you take a better look on the ship, on the left of the ship you will see my two POTC coins, one was sadly broken, it was suppost to be a medaillion but broke during it's delivery.

I thought i'd add it with the other on this temporal place until i find a better one.

I am SOOOOO sad the medaillion broke..but thank god the guy who makes them is so cool, he is sending me a new one!

APPLAUSE TO HIM! :)

My Little Pirate Tribute Shelf

I forgot, on the pic of Barbossa on the right is an old style compass with one of thise star's, i love them!

I bought it in the maritime museum i've been at a few weeks back :)

Wow thats really neat! I don't have a pirate shelf come to think of it i don't have any shelves however my whole bedroom is kind of dedicated to pyrates fiction and non.

Thank you sooo much its all helped tons and i plan on hitting up the library sometime this week to look for those books!

wow thanx a bunch i'll definatly have to check that one out.

If anyone knows any good websites/books, i could use to research Granuaile (Grace) O'Malley, it would be much appreciated. I'm attempting to write a story based on her life for a school summer assignment. Much thanx in advance..

ahhh thats really cool, quite creative

WOW thank you sooo much it answered a lot of the questions i've had!

I am rather confused now. See from what i have read (which is of course nothing compared to the amazing knowledge of all of you) was it not the palm of the hand that was branded for thievery, in which wasn't the raising of the right hand in court derived from? Or mayhaps i be thinking of another time then?

I also agree with the hangings being more effective, and as for the self inflicted things, i will keep my mouth shut on such issues as i may contain much common sense, as i myself have a pyrate-referenced burn on my left arm...

what got me into piracy.....

I must admit Peter Pan introduced me to it first, and being me strange self i fell in love with the villain. Then a few years later me wench of a sister dragged me off to the Maryland Renaissance Festival where I abosolutely fell in love with the time period, and since then I've spent every day of my life researchin the subject. The year after my first day at faire, I met a man who's been quite a good friend to me, and just happened to be married to a pirate. Since then everything that remotely related to a pirate made me an extremely happy lass. So i became "obsessed" Then of course POTC came out and with me already being a HUGE johnny fan i fell i nlove with that, not to mention it made pirate merchandise a hell of a lot more avalible to me!

Wow those were both amazing!

personally i'd want it for the oposite reason i think those skeletons were looking mighty fine!

i regret to say i have not read that book but it is now on my list of things to read. i haven't recently read any pirate related material i just finished the vampire chronicles for about the millionth time...

How about "Muppet Treasure Island"? Just saw it again last night on tv. I think it's cute and really funny too! Love the music as well.

like with Tim Curry?! I do love my tim curry....
