I've dressed as a pirate a few times before, and worn something different each time. It's fairly easy to dress as a pirate, pretty much any outfit can be accessorised with an eye patch, pirate hat or head scarf and a sword, to make a convincing pirate. This time I have used a long tiered skirt, tie-dyed flared sleeve top, velvet belt I made, and a black head scarf. Previously I wore black 3/4 length pants, a black and white striped top, a black jacket, fingerless gloves and a red/blue/gold sailorish head scarf, with black boots and stripey socks. The other time I wore the
gypsy skirt and head scarf, with a brown top, and a scarf tied around my waist as a belt.
As an extra added bonus for today's post, I have decided to join in with
My Place And Yours, over at
Punky & Me. The theme for today is On the Shelf, and as soon as I saw that, I thought of my Ode to Tea shelf.
I apologise for the poor quality of this photo, I only had my iPod to take the photo because Hubby has the camera. I seem to have collected quite a few tea related items, in the process of planning two tea parties, and this shelf is where I display some of the larger items. Can you ever have too many teapots? I don't think so.
If you're coming over from the MPAY linky, why don't you check out my
Month of Costumes so far. I love getting feedback :)

Thanks so much for joining in! I love your cake stand - did you make it yourself? I smashed mine in the last move & need to make another.
For Halloween you should put some spooky things on your "ode to tea" shelves; then they can be an "oddity!". (Can you hear the symbols crashing lol?)
You definitely can't have too many Teapots. That is a lovely little collection.
Makes me want afternoon tea!
Oh wow that is so pretty!
arrrgg you make a great pirate. well done on a do-able but effective costume. Love your cakestand and little teapot collection.
Your teapots are adorable!
Love your Teapot collection and the plate stand is so pretty
Your sooo right, there are NEVER enough teapots, or tea cups! My prize teapot is a double spouter!
I have never seen another, it has a very unfortunate crack down the handle, but its great!
I will have to get a pic!
LOVE LOVE LOVE all the costumes so far! You have been so creative can't see what else you come up with!
Gorgeous!
