It was absolutely lovely to spend the entire day with friends I don't often see AND with the new friends I made!
I had not finished the project I had planned for A&S entry (with the theme of new-to-you projects for the past year), but at the last minute I opted to put out the handwoven fabric I made in December. There were some nice comments and favors left for my entry so I am glad I chose to put it out there.
I even finished the centerpieces Friday night in time to get a fair amount of sleep before the event. To the left you can see the one I assembled for High Table. There were smaller ones elsewhere in the site and at troll.
Below are photos of one of two hanging gilded pinecone "chandeliers", the napkins with lampwork bead napkin rings (I purchased the beads as I do not do glasswork) and the placemats made for High Table. I did not get a great image of the entire table, but the final picture below shows at least a bit of the tablecloth (as well as some of the lovely Shire women serving the Royals).

Unfortunately, there were no good photos of me (that I have yet seen) or my garb (sorry for those who have asked). I guess that will wait for another day. The one to the left is of myself and her Highness Liadain ni Dheirdre Chaomhanaigh. She had given me her favor and thanked me for my work creating the items used to decorate High Table.
Below is a detail of the embroidery that I took the following morning. Unfortunately, my silver jewelry lost its tarnish onto my light colored dress. I have to now figure out how to clean that.
And the very last photo is of the lovely handmade pottery piece that Lady Marija gave me! She does lovely work and I had admired this piece when she posted it online not long ago. She gifted it to me at the end of the day! (And she was an awesome sneak-out-to-Dairy-Queen companion!)
