My gift to my Shire, November 2020


"Many years in the making."


Time gets away from us all, doesn't it? Never did I imagine, way back in 2013 that I would find a community, home, and family by going to a local event. It seems like just a few minutes ago that I started my journey with the SCA, and a blink of an eye since stepping up into the Office of Seneschal for my Shire in 2017. Never would I have thought we would take the Shire from incipient to full status under my guidance. I spent three years in the role, guided and supported by the most wonderful of people. Despite road-blocks, rainy demos, pandemic shut-downs, do-overs and all, we came together to build a Shire so strong, that it can never be broken. Never did I think I would move to lands far away as my third year as Seneschal came to a close... but a part of me will always be Old Stonebridges.


All of this came to be, and I am ever-so-fortunate for it. My gratitude is so great, that I could never give back as much as I have gotten. It is with this spirit in mind, that I created a hand-sculpted, hand-cast pewter badge for each member of Old Stonebridges to wear either as a pendant or pin.


I only wish that I could have given them to each of you with a hug attached.
