Many new Pirate Hair Jewels are being listed in the Etsy shop, while I work away on new cloaks. Hallowe’en will be here faster than we all realize, and I hope to have the newest Mini Cloaks listed in time!

Tattered Victorian Cuffs
Full length Wool Cloaks
Steampunk Mini Cloak
More Velveteen Mini Cloaks

   -some Gothic Halloween theme

Costume Feature

Costume Contest

For International Talk Like a Pirate Day, the Austin location of Dragon’s Lair held a pirate costume contest. The Cap’n and I of course went and entered! We were the first two entrants, and only one other lass appeared for the contest that day.

Captain Eric   Kitty

Eric won the contest and got a fun box of piratey prizes!

New Pirate Hair Jewels Sets

Remember those sets of Pirate Hair Jewels I’ve been promising? I finally have a few photos!

Each set has one strand of short Hair Jewels, medium Hair Jewels, and long Hair Jewels; and one of those strands in each set has a Kuchi pendant instead of the usual coin. I plan on later sets having two medium strands with one short strand. Any other combinations you guys would like to see?

The first of these has been listed in the shop, and the others will follow in the next couple of days.

Talk Like a Pirate Day is only 2 days away!
