PotC4 First Photos

by CrystalKittyCaton December 11, 2010December 11, 2010Leave a Comment0

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides recently wrapped-up filming, and the first official photos have been released at Yahoo Movies. They’re what you’d expect–lots of Captain Jack with pretty scenery. If you notice, Jack has a new strand of bones and things hanging over his bandanna since his other one was sacrificed to release Calypso.

On Stranger Tides Poster

On Stranger Tides is set to release on Friday, May 20, 2011. The trailer will be released first at Yahoo Movies’ Pirates of the Caribbean page in two days.

We’ve got a few months to go, but I’m already planning to attend a midnight release all garbed out. We can at least pray there won’t be so many terrible pirate costumes come Hallowe’en ’11.

Last Chance before Christmas

Our move is finally getting to the end, and I’ll be without internet for about a week. Wool Cloak I’m not quite sure how I’ll survive, but maybe my iPhone will help me out with that. Since I won’t be able to efficiently process orders from my phone, the shop will be going into vacation mode in a few hours. In a week, it will be too late to ship items for Christmas gifts, so now is your last chance!

You’ll still be able to view available items here on the main site and even see the listing page and info when you click on the photos. You’ll still even be able to favorite them! You just won’t be able to purchase them. I’ll post as soon as the shop is open for purchases again.

By the way, have you all seen the photos of Eddie Izzard as Long John Silver? The lack of hair atop his head is kind of creeping me out.

Help save Stonehenge II

by CrystalKittyCaton November 29, 2010November 29, 2010Leave a Comment0

I first found out about Stonehenge II during my Ancient to Medieval art history class at Texas State University. We were studying neolithic structures, and since Stonehenge fits into that category, a girl in the class brought up Stonehenge II, located only about two hours west of San Marcos in Hunt, Texas. Stonehenge II is a 2/3 scale imagining of what Stonehenge originally looked like.

Stonehenge II

At lunch that day I shared what I learned about Stonehenge II with my sister and a friend. We were finished with classes for the day, and figured, what the heck! Let’s go see Stonehenge II! We had a great afternoon of playing around the “stones” and taking photos, so it became one of my favorite bizarre places you’ll find in Texas.

Skip forward a few years to a few months ago. The Captain started writing a script for a short film based off of some of his experiences during college. I’d told him about Stonehenge II I don’t know how many times, so he wrote the beginning of the movie to take place there. Skip forward a few more months to this month, and we had a go on project “Zombie Farm.” We set out on a filming road trip to shoot at Stonehenge II in Hunt. After two and a half hours of driving, we got to Hunt, left Hunt, turned around back into Hunt to find a couple of piles of rubble where Stonehenge II was when I first visited.

Save Stonehenge II Not a single website in a quick Google search could tell us about it being anything other than right where these piles of rubble were. Thankfully, several motorcyclists had also stopped and relayed to us exactly what was going on. The property owners were trying to sell it, but couldn’t with the structure there. The Hill Country Arts Foundation is having the structure moved and rebuilt in Ingram, Texas in front of the Point Theatre. Unfortunately rebuilding it and repairing damaged “stones” costs money, and more is needed to complete the structure.

Work on rebuilding Stonehenge II has been stalled since August 30th until more funds can be raised. Hill Country Arts Foundation is accepting donations by mail, by phone, or online. Visit the Save Stonehenge II page on their website here for information on donating. Every little bit can help!

SKN Sale

by CrystalKittyCaton November 25, 2010November 25, 2010Leave a Comment0

Stephanie K Naturals is having a huge sale this week! Most of her perfumes, room sprays, and massage oils have been discounted for the busiest Christmas shopping weekend of the year.

Stephanie K Naturals scents are made with botanical extracts and essential oils with none of the harsh chemicals you find in most fragranced products. These deliciously all natural scents make great gifts for friends and family, but don’t forget to grab some Lip Luv when you order! It’s the best lip balm I’ve used for when my lips are dry and chapped.

Stephanie has several perfume blends to die for, one of my favorite being Meadow, a fresh grassy scent that reminds me of the dewy grass in the morning at Ren Faire. I’ve also had the chance to savor an upcoming floral perfume called Nightflower, which should be making its way into her shop in the next few weeks.

The sale lasts from Thursday November 25th
through Tuesday November 30th.
