Resources for Medieval Era Enthusiasts

Program Notes

I’m going to revisit some of the classes we held in the spring this year. I’ve had several people contact me who have an interest in the inkle loom weaving class and the chainmail class. I also think I will have another go at the pennywhistle class. For me, school begins in a couple of days . . . so although I know it adds alot of work to my schedule, it also means that I will have a better chance at planning activities.

It looks like we will be losing James in a couple of weeks. I appreciate the classes that he taught and the contacts he made for us. Hope things work out for him in the future.

Garage sale this next Saturday, August 21 – 805 Cerro de Ortega, Rio Rancho . . . I don’t know that we will have a large amount of “stuff”, but all of the proceedings will benefit Medieval Living.

It sounds like the Saint James Tearoom will be holding a fundraiser for some undisclosed charity (I know that Medieval Living has been mentioned as a possible recipient!!!) There will be a ginger bread house contest among the employees . . . with a silent auction open to the public, with the proceeds going to some charity. I know that it hasn’t been decided yet, and perhaps I am being a little greedy about the prospects of Medieval Living being the recipient . . . but since so many of the younger workers at the “Tearoom” are homeschool kids, it would surely seem appropriate. Added to the obvious financial benefit, we would also receive a significant amount of publicity, which is very important to our ongoing success. Dunno . . . will have to wait and see.

I had to order “Cathing the Stone” online . . . the book by a local author that I mentioned in my previous post. Once it arrives, I will give it a read and review on here. Looking forward to it!

Well enough for now. I really do hope to have some dates for events scheduled very soon. Please leave a comment or email me – I would love to hear from all of my readers.
