In the beginning,
two pirate shipmates became mateys by marriage through the Cutlers.
Now they face a world uncertain where only cooking, cutting, baking (and other things) are there only way for survival on the island!

Off to the decks (or kitchen floors) we go!

new shoes

how freaking adorable are THESE!
 i found them on this post at a beautiful mess from elsie.

she loved these shoes of hers but they were getting old and kinda yucky...

SOO she painted them first with like 2 coats of indoor/outdoor paint and then 3+ coats of glitter paint.

And I absolutely LOVE them! I think I'm going to go out and try to find a pair of shoes to try this on I love it so much!

Better than just socks

Have you seen this look around the block? I personally love it. I think of it like a little bit of fun coming out of them boots!

 Here's an idea of creating some make-shift ones of your own! I'm thinking take the arm of an old cute sweater and playing with it to make a spot for your heel! Cute of what!?

TREASURE!

Note to self- don't ever go to high price store no matter how many cute things you know it has (i.e.- Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, etc [let's be honest, not like I'd ever be able to cough up money to buy anything at those stores anyways])

Instead!  Go to Ross, TJ Maxx, Goodwill, local consignment (Plato's Closet, Name Brand Exchange, Buffalo Exchange) etc. It's like stealing it's so cheap! Love it! You just have to be persistent and look through everything!

But no matter what store you're at, go to the clearance sale section first!

example:

my absolute favorite find of the day :) a little more of a splurge compared to the rest at $25 (was $50)!

I just love the feeling of knowing someone bought this for 50, 60, 80 dollars and I'm buying it for under 10! 
Hargh, Hargh, Hargh, Hargh! (that's a pirate laugh:)

arghh for stains

This idea also came from the women's circle at the reunion! from our very own Ms Blair Woodruff

Have stains on yours, the captains, or the little matey's shirts and can't get it out no matter what you do?

NO FEAR! RIT Dye Tinte here!

that's right, DYE those clothes a whole new color! the whole shirt dyes beautifully along with the stain. now you have what seems like a new (new color= new options) shirt with no stain! Also- have faded black clothes? Dye them black to make them beautiful again!
  • wear apron and gloves
  • make sure ally dye is dissolved before adding your clothes
  • make sure the material/laundry is clean before dying
this can be found at Wal*Mart in the luandry detergent section for $1.50

***testimonial- Blair did it to 2 shirts that I saw and they seriously look NEW because the color is so bright!***
