[MR] Greetings to all in the Merry Rose Tavern

[Laura Garcia]

My Lady!
Let me also welcome you back to the SCA and in particular, the Kingdom of Atlantia.  Please let me know if you plan to attend 12th Night, as I am the event steward for this great gathering and I would be most happy to ensure that you are made comfortable and to make sure that, should you have your gentle canine companion at that time, you are made welcome at the event.
 
YIS,
Katharine de la Vache
Event Steward
Kingdom of Atlantia 12th Night

> Good afternoon to all,
> 
> Several years ago, I decided to take a step back from the SCA after a
> chemical burn that left me blind. It was the right choice for me at
> the time, allowing me to concentrate on my mundane life and adjusting
> to blindness. Now, however, I feel I am ready to test the waters
> again. Thus, I have re-joined the Merry Rose and wished to send this
> greeting to announce my return.
> 
> For all those who knew me, I will not be returning to scribal work. My
> vision is far too lacking to let me do any illumination, let alone the
> highly detailed work I once enjoyed doing. However, I have interest in
> other crafts, and would be grateful for any suggestions on where to
> turn to get started. My primary interests will be in basketweaving,
> woodcarving, and loom weaving. And of course, persona research as I
> continue the story of Lady Julienne, who has been on a long journey of
> her own since she was injured by a stray arrow to the eye in Lisbon,
> Portugal. What was she doing there? Well, guess you'll just have to
> ask her about her travels when you next see her at an event!
> 
> Much of my return to the SCA will depend on help from others to get
> oriented at outside events, get assistance in learning the new crafts
> I'm interested in, and much patience as I dip my feet in the water
> tentatively. I hope to better my orientation and mobility next
> spring/summer by training with a guide dog, but that is a time away.
> 
> I hope to hear from many of you about the going-ons of Atlantia. Who
> is this queen I hear King Jason has taken to the throne with him? Who
> are the new Crown Prince and Crown Princess? What juicy gossip can you
> bring into the tavern for me to overhear?
> 
> Looking forward to this return to the Medieval Dream, tentative as it
> might be...

> Lady Julienne fille Gaspard, mka Jewel
> Canton of Elvegast, mka Raleigh, North Carolina
