I also must mention

The Echo Park Time Travel Mart, LA's answer to the Pirate Supply Store.

Both are non-profit ventures that support writing/tutoring centers for students ages 6 to 18.

The Time Travel Mart really must be seen to be believed. It's like a tiny museum.

Pirate it is*

Pirate Love necklace by VeraMeat on etsy or at catbird. And let's not forget the Pirate Love ring.

p.s. If you get to San Francisco, be sure to stop by the Pirate Supply Store. Where they do indeed sell eyepatches. (And, sometimes, mustaches. But that is a moot point.)

*Thanks Meg.

VeraMeat Rings

Lovely Rose Ring and Pirate Love Ring by VeraMeat on etsy. I think these are pretty, and super cool.
