Bedazzle Your Booty

Ahoy, romance readers! ⚓️ Keep Austin Romantic is kicking off Pirate Month with an afternoon of coffee, crafts, treasure, and a touch of pirate mischief at Merfolk’s Specialty Coffee.

We’ll supply the gems, beads, adhesive, and other materials you need to bedazzle! ✨ Choose from our loot or bring along your own items to transform — think books, Kindle cases, sunglasses, keychains, bookmarks, or anything else that could use a little sparkle.

🔹 No item to bring? We’ll have a limited selection of sunglasses, keychains, and other “pirate loot” available while supplies last.
