Captain McCool Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ahoy ya' swabs! I thought I had put up a thread here about this a while back, but maybe not. Or perhaps it got cleaned out somehow. Not sure. At any rate, this thread is dedicated to my most excellent Etsy store, the Castaway Trading Company, makers of fine pirate/voodoo/zombie/beachcomber/general-miscreant-type wares! Our shop was inspired by our exploits at the local renaissance festival a while back, when we decided to go as "filthy castaways." The costumes were a huge hit, so we decided to start making accessories based on that theme, and selling them online. So far we've got hats, belts, bottles, jewelry, keychains, and more! Most of our products are designed with "ruggedness" in mind. We specialize in things that look like they've taken something of a beating - things that don't look clean, pretty, and new. We're also happy to do custom orders, so if there's something special you want, and you don't see it in our shop, let us know and we'll see what we can do for ya'! You can check us out here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CastawayTradingCo And as an aside, the Pirates in Paradise festival is fast approaching, and though we were originally hoping we might be able to make it out in person this year (always been a dream of mine), it looks like we're going to have to put it on hold til 2012. HOWEVER! If any of ya scurvy currs be lookin' for some excellent accouterments in preparation for heading down to Key West yer own selves, check out our store online! We've got lots of fun gear that would be PERFECT for a festival like Pirates in Paradise! Keep a weather eye out for more in our shop! We keep expanding to new and more interesting items, and we have a few great ones on the way in the very near future! Cheers!

James Smythe Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Kind of interested to see if more voodoo related items show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain McCool Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 They definitely will. Was there anything specific you had in mind? We were thinking of putting up some voodoo dolls, as well as more gris gris amulet necklaces.

James Smythe Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Nothing really in mind. Just been thinking of adding a couple of small trinkets since reading On Stranger Tides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain McCool Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Ah yes, very good! I love that book! I think I may need to read through it again to see about getting some ideas for the shop, actually...

PLUNDERING PYLOS PARKER Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) pics of sashes, bandanas, silk? Edited November 17, 2011 by PLUNDERING PYLOS PARKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain McCool Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) We don't currently have any of those ready, but they are on our "to-do" list for the next month. However, that brings up a great point: what sorts of things would you (and the rest of the Pyracy Pub population) like to see in that regard? Materials? Dimensions? Prints? Colors? Etc. And what sort of money would you feel comfortable spending for these items?

Captain McCool Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Oi mates! We've been focusing on really filling the shop over at the Castaway Trading Co. Etsy page, and we've just added a new item today! Check out our newest pirate belt, as well as all our other cool new accessories! The two recent belts we have added to our shop are actually made almost entirely out of overstock materials from the PotC costume department. The buckles and the leather itself came to our buyer directly from Disney as part of a larger auction, and we have upcycled them into awesome new pirate belts for all you scruffy buccaneers out there! The only thing NOT from PotC is the brass rivets we used to fasten them together. Check them out below, and as always, let us know if there's anything else in particular you'd like to see in our shop! http://www.etsy.com/listing/86575399/leather-pirate-belt-extra-large-natural Captain Jack McCool, landlocked pirate extraordinaire, Captain of the dreaded prairie schooner Ill Repute, etc. etc. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "That’s what a ship is, you know.

Captain McCool Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Whew, what a year so far! We've nearly been cleaned out over the last month or two, and we haven't been able to quite keep up, resulting in a somewhat limited stock lately. However, we're finally starting to rebuild our inventory, and we still have a lot of new things planned and on the horizon for the near future, so keep a weather eye out! In the meantime, faire season is well and truly upon us, and the NorCal Pirate Festival is in only a few weeks! So now is a great time to grab those last few necessaries before hitting the festivals in your finest! Right now we've got lots of new pouches, as well as our excellent hats, and probably a few new belts and baldrics on the way!
