Summer's End is one of my favorite events. Its smaller, and local. Weather usually pulls in our favor. It was my first real baronial event.
And yesterday, I was inducted into the Order of the Millrind. A Grant level Service order.
I'm a bit floored by it all as i didn't expect to get this for a couple more years. Really. Mistress Gillian gave me her Millrind pin. And I was carried away to the back of the court by my loving friends..
I serve the Kingdom and Barony not because I have to.. because that is what i do. I clear tables, I make sure people have what they need. I do dishes, set up and tear down. When we have an event, we are welcoming them into Our home. I am Retainer for Their Excellencies... Its my joy to have our guests and family taken care while they are here. I get a Marta Stewerty during the events.

AOA Elrich of the Debatable Lands
Most loyal populace, We Marynard and Liadain, Rex et Regina of this Glorious Sylvan AEthelmeac call forth Elrich of the Debateable Lands to stand before all. He quietly works at the hearth, smyting many a root so all would not go hungry. The devil does not find idle hands as they are busy setting up tents, setting up ranges and targets. And during the Great Pennsic War, laughter and folly could be found as he entertained the children of camp, brightening their day and those around.
We are minded this day to Award him Arms as a sign of his great worth. He shall receive all honors and privileges conveyed by this rank
In testimony whereof We have set Our hands this 24th day of August, Anno Societatis 47, being 2013 in the common reckoning of years at the Seige of Harlach Castle in the Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands.

Wording , no image.. its gone.. booo
I lost an entire thumb drive of images.. but I have the wording. Here's one I got really creative with.
Many a range has been devised by your hands
In battle your bow has protected these lands
Legends tell of your triumphs, your wit and your love
Lending a hand and even a glove
Resound all, Francois Belgraunde The Bladegatherer
In service to AEthelmearc you sure are a humzinger
Newest Companion to the Millrind you so are named
Done this July 10 AS 45, Let it be Proclaimed.
We, Malcom and Tessa, King and Queen of AEthlemearc,do so declare this by our hands.
It spells MILLRIND on the first letters.

Happy 6 years to me!!
I went digging through my old posts. I did my first Kingdom scroll in July of 2008. I've been doing Kingdom Assignments for 5 years. My first scroll ever went out in Dec of 2007. I haven't been at this very long have I. This scroll is my first. My Mama did the words/calligraphy.
Candied Ginger
So I'm in charge of an all day sideboard for our upcoming Crown Tournament.
One thing I do plan on doing is entering the A&S competition but the theme changed. To Courtly Love.
I need to tie in Courtly Love and candied ginger....
I plan on making it this week as a trial. Posts to follow on how well it goes.

On this glorious 8th of September Anno Societatis 47, We, Andreas, King of Aethelmearc and Kallista, beautiful and wise Queen, proclaim to all present that Darian of the Rhydderich Hael is a deserving warrior. He has served as heavy weapons champion and bested much bigger and practiced fighters at the 7 Pearls Tournament at War Practice this year. Because of this exceptional skill and desire to encourage others to be their best, it is Our wish to induct him into the most noble Order of the Golden Alce at Summer’s End in the Canton of Beau Fleuve.

Let it be known unto all to whom these present letters come that We, Carolus and Isloda, Baron and Baroness of the Rhydderich have seen and used many of the wonderful works of Maestro Augusto Giuseppe da San Donato. For his hands are never idle, his skill in Woodwork and Metal crafting has not only given the Barony useful items, but beauty as well.
It is Our wish he shall receive all honors and privileges conveyed by this rank as the newest member of the Order of the Golden Bee.
In testimony whereof We have set Our hands this 8th day of September, Anno Societatis 47, at this Summer’s End in the Canton of Beau Fleuve
