Ahoy Mateys - Happy Anniversary Tablescape


These here old Pirates be celebrating their 34th year
of wedded bliss and they done took their entire flock

Ye remember talk of Pirate's Cove on
this here blog.


where there be jumpin' and divin'
and swimmin'


and slidin' through an old wrecked ship


and even explorin' in caves
for all yer scurvy mates!


There be somethin' fer every age!



and if ye really be lucky
ye might set yer eyes on a live
mermaid


There be friendly mermaids here,
none of them there man eatin' kind!


Today lunch be served in this here
cave


Known as One Eyed Jack's Tavern.


It be mighty scary, but plenty of fun.

The table be set with a treasure of jewels
right in front of the Skull Wall.


Right next to the Skull Wall is a fancy
dungeon where a Pirate Maid
watches over the vittles.



There she be!


All of this dinin' finery is here on 
the property.  
The plates and bowls shine with metallic
skulls.


Huge skull goblets be over the top.


For this table this humble pirate
did bring the napkins and
the napkin rings from her abode, 
but the placemats are located here
at Pirate's Cove.


The place be filled with trinkets to fill yer tables.


All this finery was right here in the cave.


The kitchen had three choices of flatware -
what a bounty of fun for a wench like me.





I be willin' to sign up for permanent residence here.


Fancy this table and chairs in your own cave.



Here the skull cup be filled with slushy


one of the little pirates' favorite treats.




There be plenty of staff around in the cave to help
with yer lunch prep


Thou they ain't too active with that there
ball and chain weighin' 'em down.


But we still managed to scrap together
some tri tip quesadillas.


If ye head up the tunnel at the back of the
cave ye be findin' jailed pirates tryin'
to filch the keys from the dog.


They both be movin' and speakin' so don't 
be alarmed.




As night falls everything at Pirate's cove
begins to glow and 
One Eyed Jack's is no exception.


The skull wall takes on a life of its own and
casts its eery glow.

What a fun anniversary to be had here.  There
be so many fun places to set tables that ye be
seeing several more in the future!
This tablescape lovin' wench just
couldn't help herself!


Aye Aye Captain!

Be on the lookout for more Pirate
Tables from Pirate's Cove.

We be takin' this anniversary party to

and

her 4th Blog-a-versary with a $100
gift certificate for Home Goods

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.
