LOL Sorry, Patrick, no auctions...unless you want to volunteer? This year Jill, Iron Bess, and I decided that Saturday at Ojai is girly-girl day, and those of us ladies who usually dress as guys made girly garb. This ritual included tatter-tots and Chrispy Creme donuts...but we don't wear those, we eat them. :(

Oh and Jill, I LOVE my gift. Actually, it is quite a lovely piece, but when I opened the box, I burst out laughing. Great job!

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

Awww your welcome Rumba and im so sorry about Boats but if you have a wee bit of red you can add a stick to the O to make an A. And Im so glad you are liking it, also if you have a small cafe rod you can hang it from that as well. Wal Mart and Home Depot sell them pretty cheap. BUT im very glad you are enjoying it my partner did the background and I added everything to the background including your lagoon! I have to say the sea serpent and pirate ship are my faves. Now please post pics! lol

My recipiant should have received theirs either yesterday or today.

Gots a card from RumbaRue the other day. Thank ye, lass. LOL... That almost looks like Magellan from time to time. LOL

Still waitin'... patiently.

I, for one, have no patience at all and can't stand waiting.

I opened mine up when it arrived yesterday and I was very happy to find a new knife with rope work handle inside. If I were to venture a guess I would have to say that it is probably a "Hand"-made item! I'll post a picture whenever I find my camera again.

If I had more time, I would have made a sheath for it also, but it took me longer to grind down the file for the blade than I thought it would.......

I will be opening the gift I got tonight.... and I'm still not shaking it to try to guess what it is.... ;)

um... um... I am a man of few words, and now I am speechless!

"Thank you" does not seem like a big enough phrase but it will have to do for now, as that is all I can come up with.

Thank you "Secret Santa" !

Thank you Santa, Sansanee has always loved poetry and when I told her it was a collection of poems her face was priceless.

I confess that had I been handed it alone and asked to guess it's purpose, I might not have got it right for a while.

But,in this case (no pun intended) the context makes its function readily clear.

So to brag on what Secret Santa sent me: I received a handsome handmade case containing a set of handmade shooting accouterments. In addition to the aforementioned powder measure, there is a vent pick/pan scraper, cleaning brush, knapping hammer, and a very striking turned wood wiping/loading stick complete with integrated turned wood jag. Each tool has its own fitted compartment within the case. There's even some steel wool with a dedicated home too!

I must also mention that the knapping hammer possesses that certain marvelous quality one finds in miniature tools. A quality born of the battle or marriage of the simultaneous realizations of function and cuteness.

But wait!

There's more!

As if such said bounty as enumerated above were not more than my wicked ways do merit; Aye!

And though the merit of said bounty was such that my material lusts were, if but for a moment, quelled;

my kind and mysterious benefactor also sent, as if lifted from the pyrate's own 12 Days of Christmas:

Two Brass Belaying Pins!

(Which were also handmade by Santa!)

Now I really pity the fool that tries to take a pin offa my ship! ;)

And all of this was wrapped up in some nice bits of cloth, which will find their way to further uses.

Thanks again Secret Santa!

Well I finally opened mine yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised to see a horn which was sealed on the inside for drinking, as well as a powder horn with some scrimshaw work. Very beautiful, and I can't wait to use it with my sea service pistol once it stops raining (maybe in May?). It's definitely a great addition to the pirate kit. Unfortunately, so far I have no idea who gave it to me. Still sleuthing it out, though. At any rate, THANK YOU!!!
