A Pirate Treasure Chest

Today's post it's all about a little 10 year old

who I miss terribly but hope will soon be seeing... my grandson.

LOL... LOL...

... yeah, that's him, this last Halloween...LOL...

but this is what he looked like the last time I saw him,

a few years ago...

My son and his family live in Canada,

though they are planning soon to move to Portugal.

I know, we all are what you may call a international family,

me living in the United States, my son in Canada,

my daughter-in-law being American and my grandson Canadian...

Anyway, because they are planning to move,

my grandson is learning Portuguese,

and I did have a couple of books to initiate the language learning,

 so I'm shipping them along a few souvenirs

I brought from Washington DC for him.

And because he is so into superheroes and fantasy

(what a delightful age, isn't it?),

I decided to gather a small treasure and put everything in a pirate chest.

Thus I thought to share it with you all,

maybe as a Xmas stocking stuffer idea...

I found a little perfect chest box in a sale at Hobby Lobby,

some gold coins...

a magic spyglass...

a navigation compass...

seashells...

some precious black pearls...

the pirate hook of course...

and his eye patch...

...some ear rings...

... et voila!
A perfect pirate treasure chest!

I really think he's going to be thrilled

about his pirate treasure chest!
