  1. Oh, what a wonderful topic! I'd venture to say all the above!

    Colonial Williamsburg put out content in regards to the understanding of the celestial heavens during the 18th century. Just the little bit of graphics they shared was so beyond fascinating of detailed artwork documenting planets and people fascinated with the stars. From navigational tools all around the globe to the Prague Clock Tower, surely some educated sailors were like many of their peers and Aristocrats who cultivated a hobby in Astronomy and all things related to the celestial heavens. It certainly would be interesting to know how much other cultures influenced some sailors when it comes to beliefs and superstitions of celestial occurrences.  

    I wouldn't be surprised if Townsends will share something about this topic or even the topic of Astronomy in general sometime. 

  2. So... recently... or these past couple years, I've been called "Cute" when I'm dressed up as a pirate. I don't think Pirates are cute, but people seems to think I'm cute as a pirate. HA! Oh, what a riot. 

    What do you think? Are Pirates cute? Can Pirates be cute? If a Pirate is called cute, are they really a Pirate? 

    Offer yer 2 doubloons, me hearts!

  3. These are all so awesome!! Kudos to you all? 

    Can't wait to see the finished product, TSmith! 😉

    Stynky... love the mattress pad. Good luck with the cot. Hope you find a comfy one. Military surplus stores used to have canvas and wooden cots. I had one for several years until it broke. Holds up rather well really. 

    Did anyone ever make like a portable 17th/18th c daybed for events? Does anyone use a hammock?
