[Fwd: Re: [MR] Why new crowns?]

[Jennifer Thies]

Thank you for pointing out the generous gift of the field crowns and
boxes.  Technically, the Kingdom of Ealdomere donated the lovely gold
plated field crowns.  They are five pointed, lightweight, adjustable,
but the etched shells on them are then gold plated, so while
personalized they are not distinct from across a field or hall.  But
they truly are a valuable gift from Their Majesties northern cousins.
The boxes were a separate but serendipitous gift, I assume from
Calontir.  The lovely field crowns just happened to fit nicely in these
other gifts such that they seem like a matched set.  Atlantia was truly
blessed by her cousins this year at Pennsic.

giving credit where credit is due,  :)
