Why two lists ? Well, for the same reason as we have two weddings, that our focus and attention in life is split I suppose.
See the modern wedding present hints on this page.
� New sword[s] for Randy as his beautiful custom rapier was stolen, as was his backsword.
� Money for canvas for tent walls. It will take about 30 metres to put walls on an Easy-Up .
� Money for an Easy Up frame [Costco, about $250].
� A camp bed. Four poster would be more than cool.
� The type of air mattress inflater that plugs into your car lighter
� Banner poles
� Anyone promising to make us a banner when our arms are passed.
� The Tudor Tailor book. Mnnn mnn good.
� Fabric, in 8 metre chunks. Natural fibres: linen, wool, cotton, silk. Favourite colours are: black, white for both of us, and for Randy: rich dark brown, deep green, medium khaki green, dark red, tan or beige as well for linen for him. For me, jewel tones. I�d love a sari of almost any kind � I cut them up mercilessly. Deep purples, deep blues, emerald greens, lilac, rose, metallic gold, metallic silver, dark red, forest green, light willow green, etc. I am a winter, if that helps.
- Linen from fabrics-store.com, the 3.5 oz white linen deal on 20 yards of IL020.
- We are doing 14th century and 16th century these days, so accessories that go with either are lovely.
-Randy could really use a hard bag/case for storing swords.
� Lantern poles
- Lanterns
� A kitchen bench arrangement like Imaigne�s
� Wooden benches that knock down to flat
� The wooden TV table side tables. Not period, but very useful
� A modern cloth and pole loveseat so we could sit together [or as together as we can get when I am in Elizabethan!]
� The kind of cooler that keeps ice for 5 days would be great
� We could use a black leather belt pouch each.
� Anyone who wants to make us period shoes. this would be gratefully accepted
� Anyone who wants to blackwork any linen for us, it would be gratefully accepted
� Period music [sheet music] in tab for Guitar.
� Period music on CD; not the dead virgins who died of boredom kind, the happier kind.
� Period games. I�d love a hunkerdown set.
- replacement chairs. The modern cloth and pole ones. Ours are starting to break.
-books on our obsessions: history, warfare, clothing, making artifacts, brewing, illumination, changes in language, music, etc. We are in the SCA because we love that crazy stuff....
- I'd like a book on lucet cording, and on blackwork patterns. [I guess some day I need to learn to blackwork or they'll revoke my Elizabethan permit....]
Hope to see you at Sea Lion!
Presents are nice, but the presence of our friends is the best gift.
