Red Cat Jenny Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Ok.. I have a real nice wooden treasure chest... The only problem? - It's empty Wots a Pirate to do? Sooooooooooo....... I was thinkin....I like little plunder , trinkets, nonsense... Some of you know that. CAts like stuff.. Especially Red CAts.. Since the secret santa was so well recieved, and the pen pal idea has been pitched around... I'd love to fill it with small scrolls handwritten and odd items..could be a shirt button, some bauble or coin (fake of course) , small knotwork, scrap of fabric, a hair ribbon, a pic of ye in garb ..any odd booty. But what fun if I buy it honestly meself? So I thought like a pirate...hmmm raid the chests of others...yeah...... Anybody game? It works both ways... Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Mary Diamond Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Count me in ~ I have a similar dilemma! Oooh, shiny!
Ransom Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Could be fun. :) ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Rumba Rue Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 I wouldn't mind getting in on this. I cruise the thrift stores regularly. I find all kinds of great treasures for treasure chests. How big do you want? I usually can find some great pewter and silver plated candlesticks. Mugs a plenty (just found a real great one I'm keeping), how about some gold eating ware, or jewelry or perhaps some great scarfs? It's how I've filled my treasure chest. Need my address or phone, just PM me.
Red Cat Jenny Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Rumba.. I would guess anywhere from 10 bucks to "Hey it was in my drawer, pocket, craft box, etc.... Any old thing..

Ransom Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Just so ya all knows, I'm keeping my treasures simple - mostly things I have cobbled together myself, with maybe a few bits and pieces of my collection of vintage buttons, old lace, charms, beads, etc. Nothing really fancy, but from the heart. This seemed to be the spirit in which the exchange was meant. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...
