An SCA organized happening including multiple planned activites such as martial arts, classes, competitions, food and a formal court.
Hey, all. I’m so excited that two of my friends will be made peers at the coming Forgotten Sea Kris Kinder event. They are receiving well-deserved honors for their many years of work. In the SCA, we often hear people talk about peerage as if it’s the finish line. It’s an incredible honor, but in…
Hey everyone! June has always been one of my favorite months, and for good reason—it means it’s time for Calontir’s War of the Lilies!

Hey there, friends! I recently returned from this year’s Kris Kinder Market, and I had a blast! And you can see why. There’s just so much shopping to do. After being part of the SCA for 30 years, I strolled through the vendors’ stands thinking I wouldn’t find anything I needed. And I didn’t really….

Greetings, fellow SCAdians, and other time travelers! I’ve captured some delightful happenings from the Kingdom of Calontir‘s fall coronation of David de la Cloude and Rhianwen ferch Bran ap Gruffydd.

Hey there all, guess what? I finally got to go back to a Cattle Raids event. It’s a big camping bash hosted by the Barony of Mag Mor every year. If you’ve never been, you’re missing out—big time! This year the event was held at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Nebraska, which is as close…

Well, this didn’t go well. I’m a delinquent blogger. So many pictures for your viewing, so little time during the holidays. Earlier this month I went to Calontir’s Kris Kinder Market event, again. It’s my favorite indoor event. Who doesn’t like to shop and visit with friends? Here are a few of the many photos I…
The Calontir RUSH Book Arts Seminar is only three days away. I am now in a black hole of confusion. As Event Steward, I am in the uncomfortable spot in an event timeline that is often chaos.

You may have noticed I’ve stepped up my local SCA participation. It’s difficult for me to get away from the Barony so I’ve decided to do more here, taking on more event and local jobs. Book Arts RUSH Flyer I coordinated crash space at Bardic Bedlam, Arts & Sciences competitions at Coronation, and now I’m the Barony’s Social Media…
What do you do when you feel blah? When you want to do something different or challenging? I go to a different SCA event. This time I went to Bardic Bedlam. Bardic Bedlam is a long day, bardic sharing event held each year. It is named after the book series with a similar name. Entertainers from all over the kingdom came to…
Finally…Here’s my Calontir Kingdom Arts and Sciences event post for you. The Bardic Bedlam event slowed my writing. You’ll see my timing is later than my usual delay, but I wanted to do more than post photos. The Shire of Lost Moor hosted the event at a site we hadn’t seen before. It had space by the ton and a…
Bardic Bedlam is here, in the Barony of the Lonely Tower. It’s a bardic sharing event named after the book series with a similar name. This year I had a different job for it. My friend Lady Zafara Baabur asked me to be the crash-space coordinator, a new-to-me task. So I did my usual and winged…

Shoppers’ Paradise It’s Kris Kinder time again. That wonderful Calontir shopping event put on by the Barony of Forgotten Sea. While it’s always jam-packed with merchants and their things for you to buy, there are also meetings for you to attend. This year Their Majesties Damien and Issabell also packed it with Laurel ceremonies. Four of…
