Weekend Update

OMG the scroll! Picture to follow - assuming I get Rhonwyn's permission to post it. Wow. All the little details, the veins on the leaves and the little highlighting behind the coronet medallions, and wow. It's gorgeous. A shame to just frame it and put it in my dining room, really. (But we are so going to make the *month* of the chap at the Atelier who does the framing, since it's not the only one we still need to get done.) And verbose wording by Steffan. Still stunned by the beauty of the thing.

Excellent site for Crown. V centrally located, heaps of parking. OK, the court/feast hall was too small, but if the day had been warmer we could've had court outside (which I heard was the original plan).

Vivant to Konrad and Brenwen, Prince and Princess of the East! I remember at 30 Year in An Tir when Konrad was just a youthful squire, daily polishing the royal crowns and the armor in camp, and tagging along behind his knight.

Non-vivats to the individual who needed to tell me really early in the day "I can't hear a word you say," when I made an announcement. I still squish pretty easily, and it put me off heralding for the day.

Blush in the general direction of Osgkar, who complimented me on my haircut and my weight loss. :) It's hard to be both shy and vain.

Yesterday was a fine day for yard work, and despite the hurricane edges brushing by on Saturday, the leaves were dry enough to work with. Four bags and five barrels later, we've barely made a dent. But must hurry - after this week there are only two more scheduled pickups for the year. Will the neighbors decide I'm really looney if I rake after supper, in the dark?

For those of us who couyldn't make it (and have not heard, trust me spies will be punished), what was the scroll for?

I had this issue at last Crown, too. 2 people. Both Peers. I am sure they felt they were trying to help, however, all it did was frustrate and have me increase the amount of air in my lungs, as opposed to pushing from diaphragm (sp). It was Ryan's day anyway. I was happy to let him shine, while I tended to HRM - with so many BG ladies monitoring the lists, I felt it appropriate to stick with HRM Gabriella until I was told I could sit down and take a break by the HLIW.

I swear, Rhonwen is well worth her weight in gold. That scroll is simply delicious to the eyes, with such fine detail, crisp calligraphy, and eloquent wording.

Again, well worth the wait, and vivat again to you, and to all who made it happen (backlog or no!). *hugs*

"It's hard to be both shy and vain."

Best quote I have seen all day.
I have seen pictures of you at Crown, and you did look lovely!

You do look great.

If you wish, sometime after I finish the move, we can work on making your projection so good, that people will complain you are too loud.

They always complain - it is their chiefest joy, for some.

Congrats on the receipt of your scroll!

Could you post a review of this scroll-mounting place? I still have my astonishing laurel scroll to get mounted. It's been (cringe) 6 years carefully put away.

Picture of mine:

Hmm... I think I haven't actually linked that page to my directory structure, so probably nobody has been reading it....

Oh, cool! I'm glad that you finally have it, and that it was such a success. I really wanna see it!

And verbose wording by Steffan.

Properly and authentically verbose, I should say! %^) And absolutely true. Vivat!

Congratulations!

You have lots of room, why not make a compost pile for the leaves? No problems with bagging, getting it out on time, and you end up with beautiful new soil in a few years.
