The count down is on, less than 24 hours before the Pre-Party for the Steampunk Ball!

Hailing from the Airship Isabella, Luke Chester Smith has generously donated his Leather Wrapped Steampunk Bottles. These excellent pieces are easy to clip on to shoulder straps, belts, and who knows where else.

Excellent leatherwork and quality bottles, these are great for storing the steampunk essentials; plasma sticks, gears, cogs, not to mention those prized elixers...

Have you seen the new site recently built for Airship Isabella? Be sure to check out the excellent list of events along with wonderful character biographies? Learn the crew and learn them well, you never know when you might bump in to them... Like say the Elysium Steampunk Ball on Saturday Night!
