Pirate Treasure - Edible Oreo Coins

A must for any Pirate Party is to have some

pirate treasure on board, gold and silver me mateys!!

How about some edible pirate gold for your

next Halloween or Pirate Party?

Beaulah and I did some treasure hunting and 

came up with a bounty of gold and silver.

These are perfect for any pirate party, and the little ones

can even help make them.

Just spray Double Stuff Oreos with 

Wilton's Silver or Gold Color Mist,

or Duff's Silver Cake Graffiti.

I love the Double Stuff - reminds me of doubloons!

Beaulah and I tried both, and they both worked

great.  Let them dry and pop some Pirate Gold or Silver

into your mouth.  We can't wait to try these out for

a Pirate Party.

I will be bringing my booty to

Susan's party

Metamorphosis Monday

and

The Scoop

Pirate Poison

Aye, there be plenty of 

Halloween fun around

Purple Chocolat Home

and the pirates came out

to celebrate for

International Talk Like A Pirate Day

(Sept. 19th).

And they be brewin' up

their 

Pirate Poison

for all the little ones.

Don't ye be scared.

There be nothin' to be afeard of

in this pirate abode,

all be sugary poison here.

These glitterin' silver

plates be salvaged from

Z Gallerie, both the skull plates

and the plain silver ones.

Aye, that be a fun store for pirates.

And how about this here

glittery eyed beauty, a candle

to light up the nights 

(light it and walk the plank mateys!!)

Ok, just enjoy the glittering beauty

of those crystal eyes and the

silver hand it sits in.

(This be a gift from dear pirate

friends, Annette and Hannah!)

The table be awash in the 

effects of the poison.

It be bubblin' forth

from Skull Rock

and skull mugs.

Threatenin' to take over

everythin' and everybody.

  

These here appetizer plates

be booty obtained from

Home Goods this here season.

Ain't they beauties?!!

There always be booty

galore when treasure huntin'

at Home Goods and TJ Maxx!

The little candy skull mugs

be from Smith's grocery

store.  Ye never know where

ye might find booty.

The large mugs be from

a secret online source

known as Amazon.

We pirates love stacks of booty

for our tables.

 And this here pirate loves a little purple 

thrown in.  These spider web placemats

also be treasure gleaned from Home Goods

this season.

Even little cocktail napkins

glitter on the table

(from Williams Sonoma).

 Glitter abounds everywhere.

Aye, hope ye have a little

pirate fun this season too.

 And beware of pirate poison!!

And ye always be welcome to

have some poison with us

at 

Purple Chocolat Home.

I have been told I have to come

back and add what the little kiddies

said about their poison.  My eight 

year old grandson was such a worry

wart about it and said that it would

give him "30 degree burns" if he 

drank it.  His mom couldn't believe

he was so worried since we have

had "witches brew" every Halloween.

We thought the 30 degree was pretty funny!

Final Sailing for Pirate's Cove Tablescapes

Alright, we be stickin' to the Pirate's Code on this

table.

This be the last one of three weeks of fun.

Before we gets to the table though

I be sharin' this gas fired pizza oven

that is at Pirate's Cove.

Ye have all seen me wood burnin' one

but this here one was plenty fun too.

Fire her up and in an hour ye be crankin'

out hot crusty pizzas.  Ye think we could

put one on the ship Captain?

Speakin' of the Captain, he heads up this 

cozy table fer four,

and yes, ye be seein' right.  We used the

same plates.  None of the other plates here

at Pirate's Cove met the Captain's approval,

these bein' so appropriate and all.

and since the Captain be reignin' over this table

we hung a beeyoutiful chandelier

in his honor.

Fancy ruffled placemats sit under our

metallic skull and bones dishes that ye

saw before.

We wandered the high seas to get these

beeyoutiful goblets ye will be drinkin'

from tonight.  We be lovin' the dark green - 

straight off one of her Majesty's ships, I reckon.

Or ye can be drinkin' from your little silver

mugs if that be yer fancy.

Ye think that fancy gun marks the

Captain's spot?

He says, "Don't ye be eyein' my place matey!"

Notice in the background a keg built into the

wall?  Well, that there is a secret passageway.

(Just thought ye'd like to be in on that one!)

More fancy flatware.  This is a true Pirate's hoard

of fancy silver.  Must be booty from ships

they looted.

Ooh, the wenches be gettin' fancy with the napkins these days.

Thought ye'd like a peek at the carved chairs at this

table.  

There be so much fancy stuff here, ye just can't imagine!

'A course this mate loved the chandelier the best.

Them purple and red jewels are mighty fine.

Ye think the Captain might notice if some of them

jewels went amissin'?

Yup, guess he would and I'd be walkin' the plank.

(Just havin' a little fun with my new Canon G15 - love the bokeh effect.)

Well, I guess I'd best be movin' on before the real

Captain shows up and wonders why I'm in his quarters.

Fearsome lot those pirates!

But fer all the fun talk of Pirates

cute Captain Kirk

(yes, that be his real name)

declared

"The Family Life For Me!!!!)

Ye seen this motley crew last time,

but here be one legged Ty and his crew,

and this scabby bloke, Marco Polo,

and the two that been stirrin' up all the fuss

lately with weddin' plans.

Next week is the big day, along with our

youngest settin' sail for an LDS mission to

SeoulKorea

so this wench be sayin' good bye for a bit to

focus on her scurvy lot to see if they can

whip up a bit of weddin' and missionary fun!

but before I sail off, here was the feast for

our 34th anniversary, made for us by friends.

We feasted on grilled tri-tip, 

tortellini salad

and funeral potatoes

and it was topped off by some of the thickest,

most delicious brownies ever.

(Yes, we asked all the guests to bring Pirate

outfits for the anniversary night.  It was the

greatest 34th anniversary I have ever had!!!!

If you missed it, click on the link above.)

Aye aye until some of the ruckus

settles down around here.

I will be posting this with
