The festivities are underway! We have left port and we're aboard our ship, The Bonnee Lass (christened by our poet laureate, Miss Maddie ). Good call on the extra-large ship as we have a full crew, all of who are listed directly to the left under the Swashbuckler Soiree Banner. Click on each artist to see how they are celebrating the party!
I have been starving myself all week to fit into this dress! I certainly want to look my best for that certain someone- (back off, Lisa!)
It's a good thing the laces can be loosened as I plan to enjoy and indulge myself all day. Speaking of....
Oh! I believe this is just what I need. Bowls and bowls of candy.
Saltwater Taffy...
Chocolate-filled coins.
And a little Pirate's Booty!
And of course, we need to toast each other as we take our Maiden Voyage. A bit of rum perhaps?
Or maybe a spot of ale instead.
There's plenty to go around. Or if you prefer....
we do have lemonade.
All served up by our special bartender, Jerry. Finally, he's comfortable in his shirt!
What's this? Someone is breaking into song! Oh, I love it!
From A Favorite Opera, Pirate boy.
And a selection of pirate songs. But who is that singing??
Adam Ant!!! (for sure,a pirate before his time). And now he's singing an extra special pirate song.
Oh, this is so, so, wonderful- good company, food, drink, entertainment. I'm so glad you all are here. I'm so enjoying mingling with you.
But what's the commotion over in the corner? I see Sylvia running over to me. "He's here, he's coming aboard!!"
OMG! Quick, tighten the laces. He's making his way over to me!!
He leans in and whispers that he is here only for a moment. That if I am to go with him, I must leave right away- abandon my crown and sail away. But wait, I beg. The Soiree, my friends, the candy- I can't leave this very minute.......can I?
Check back Sunday after 5:00 to see what I've decided to do ( like you need to ask!). If I go, I must forfeit my crown so a new Queen of the Swashbuckler Soiree will be crowned!
Until then, enjoy yourselves, visit with each other and accept a huge thank you for attending OUR Soiree!
I am appealed to your blogs, give me very good mood.

Having looking through your blog, I learn a lot. It's clear for reading. Wish you make a further progress in the future, and write more and more articles, I will keep viewing your website. by LV Handbags

First of all, I came across your site through Vanessa at a Fanciful Twist...and I LOVE IT!! I too am a pirate queen, although I have been landlocked for too long, and I wish I were as talented at expressing myself as you. Secondly, Robert's Pirate's Booty is soooo delish--and difficult to find here in Canada! I try to always have a bag on hand to pull out for guests aboard my ship, The Black Cherry Pearl! You have re-inspired me to find my inner Pirate Gurl and start plundering for treasures again!

Call it "old-timers" or an extreme case of gap-osis...I don't think I ever got back to leave a comment on your blog, oh stunning Queen o' the Bounding Main! What an undertaking - amazing posts by one and all and many thanks to you, Donna, for pulling it all together. Your elegant photos (well, maybe not the puffy shirt) and bodice-ripping dress were just splendid. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to attend.
Posted by: Dorian Fletcher | May 04, 2008 at 09:50 AM

Posted by: Denise Fontaine | May 04, 2008 at 04:52 AM
As I watched your ship,
Sail off to sea
With your man at the wheel
On the 'Bonne Glee'
I think I heard shouting
From that sweet Johnny,
'Oh Donna my Lass, come back to me!'
Thanks so much for all the fun.I'm sure there will be a lot of late risers this morning after all that rum! Take care Queen of the Pirates!

Many, many thanks to ye, Donna, fer allowin' me, the new kid on the block, to just stumble upon yer awesome blog and join in on the fun ~ good memories were created this day.
Ye sure do put on a grand party! Me-thinks a week is needed to visit all Ports! Ohhh... ye might want to remind yer Pirate Girlies to not miss out on Pirate Camp next year... it sure did help me!
Well... time fer this Girlie to get movin' along... me has some Chandeliers that need swingin' from!

Sweet Donna, the band of pirates has left...now I can kick off my shoes and enjoy a tankard of rum while reading some of the wonderful posts from your guests.
Hope you had a blast, and congratulations on your 100th! (You look quite young, still, for being 100)

I adore the crown and the dress. I would have given up food for weeks to be able to fit into that. Oh, thank you Donna for hosting such a wonderful and beautiful event. It will take me a few days to get around to greeting everyone...but then that only means the party will last longer won't it?
Posted by: Alice | May 03, 2008 at 09:33 PM
Oh, Donna I just couldn't go off to bed until I came by to see your festivities, and I must say, Your creations are beyond Divine,the corset is simply Fabulous!And the pirate shirt! I almost choked with laughter! And Adam Ant, Yummy! And Geez, Johnny, almost too much! Well, almost!

What a wonderful party
I'm so glad I came
Even though you're amazing
you won't take his name
A beauty you are
so much in demand
Extravagant attire
jeweled crown in your hand.
He prefers swarthy types like me
You've been deceived, just wait and see!

I so wish I'd known of your event I would have participated! I would have told the bloody tale of my husband's ancestor who was a wicked pirate indeed and I'd have crafted something too! Alas, I must be satisfied with sailing from site to site and pillage great posts! Such a fun event!

Yo Ho Ho to you on your 100th post.
I was shipwrecked for a while but your ship sailed by in time to save me from more pirates. You passed me the bottle of rum and now I'm feeling wonderful as we all sail together.
I truly love your work Donna and Thank You for hosting this Soiree. Your dress is perfect in every way.
Now for a little more rum and Johnny too.

(don't really know what dialect that is..pirate meets cockney meets queenie?) Anyway, thanks so for organizing this, Donna! It's been so much fun and I've only just gotten started!
Posted by: Black-Eyed Suzie | May 03, 2008 at 11:46 AM
First, yes, absolutely, you must abandon your own soiree for the dashing Captain Jack. I am quite certain that none would hold it against you.
And secondly, what delicious fun this is to see the different variations on a theme, and so very inspiring as well. Would that I had discovered this earlier, I should have loved to set sail with you all.
Thank you for hosting the fete, it was fun to lurk about.
Now go ... off be you with that pirate!
Posted by: Sue from Cottage Way of Life | May 03, 2008 at 11:44 AM
Donna, what a fun post. The crown and gown are fabulous. I love them both. It looks like there will be a lot of fighting over Captain Jack. I only have a few takers on Captain Barbossa. And, my dear I will fight you for my loot.
Happy 100 Posts I'm enjoying the party
Hugs Karen
Posted by: Karen Young | May 03, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Oh this post was soooo full of eyecandy...sweets and sweeties!!!
This has been the most fun to prepare for but....it seems my pirate festivities have been hijacked and marooned with the yucky weather and the breaking of a sewing machine :(
Well, I'm off to hoist up a newly mended sail and continue on in my journey despite the troubles....yo-ho-ho!!!
Posted by: Bethany | May 03, 2008 at 11:34 AM
oh the PC gods or PIRATES that be attacked my days and stole the night leaving me LATE for the soiree! Charming creations Miss Donna, you set me heart on fire, a post I surely treasure! Let's see if I can manage to put together my pirate best and make the ship before it sets sail, Monica :)
seeing Jerry in his Saturday BEST made me smile, ahhh the infamous shirt- maybe he'll let me borrow it tonight?
Posted by: monica magness | May 03, 2008 at 11:26 AM
Ha! Found the map, found the treasure, but I'm not giving up my turn with the honored guest!!!
Posted by: Magpie Sue | May 03, 2008 at 11:25 AM

(I have a link on my blog.)We better look out, these guys are not handsome nor well behaved like YOUR pirate.

I see a battle to the death coming up between your Scotsman and Johnny. (The Scots always win, they wear KILTS and eat haggis, no one is as fierce as them!)
Hope you have fun at the soiree, matey.

I'm enjoying the journey, the views from the ship are exquisite. I have packed a secret case for my hidden bounty of candy. My crown for the soiree is almost complete, ready to wear....
More to come.....

The thank you goes to you Dear Donna. This has been so much fun. Love your writing and that dress and crown are over the top fabulous. Now if you don't go with Pirate Johnny after seeing him with his shirt off, I will question your sanity. I will hold Lisa back if you need me too. But send him my way when you are done with him.

Donna, the crown, the dress, the loot and Johnny too, you have created a bit of pirate paradise for us all. I love your dress creation and that crown is absolutely heavenly.
Thank you for hosting such a magical event. I believe you did awaken the creative pirate muse within us all. When I read what you wrote about these Swashbuckler boots in your article, I had no idea the adventure that you had in store for all of us to enjoy. Karen
Posted by: Karen | May 03, 2008 at 04:54 AM
Pass me a brewsky will ya Jerry? And some gold chocolate coins too. It's been a quite a journey sailing all this way, not to mention a complicated operation getting my "do" ready for the Swashbuckler's Soiree.
Now THIS is a fun party! I thought may spy Johnny, but I never dreamed Adam Ant would be here!!! Oh beby!
Your Pirate Girl dress is divine!
Cheers to you Donna!
Arrrrrrrrh!!!
(I'll be back later to visit the rest of the party) Just wanted you to know I'm here!
Posted by: rochambeau | May 03, 2008 at 04:36 AM
The gown it is delightful,
And the crown is so divine
If you should chose to leave them,
I hope they shall be mine!
I shall watch you from the dock
As you sail off to sea,
With the man that gives you vapors,
The pirate Connery.
Thankyou so much for hosting a fantastic soiree and sharing your light hearted humor with us these past 100 posts. It has truly been a pleasure!
XO Susan

Seinfeld Adam Ant and Johnny..I'll take Bachelor number three:) You have so many awesome pirate related things to share! I'd say that after J-boy my favorite would be your haute couture paper dress..! Can't wait to visit everyone else's site throughout the day..thanks for hosting the party:)

Step back before I make all of you walk the plank! Adam Ant has been mine all along... That wench Donna has stolen my man slave and now I'm afraid, you'll have to pay the price... When we get to port, no rum for you lass! A begger's purse is yours for the supreme duty-free port o'call, so it's me who's settin' sail with the fresh new Louis Vuitton, and you'll be dragging around with that old piece of sad leather you call a handbag! HaaaaHaaaaHaaaa! That'll teach you to take my man...
Posted by: The Lady of The Sea | May 03, 2008 at 01:10 AM
He sure looks gorgeous! I wouldn`t hesitate!!
I posted my creations a little early and I brought some other handsome lads too...so there´s no need of fightin! And I´m looking forward to visit everyone else.
Thanks for this soiree! It was fun creating with a theme.
