Title: Traders post / swap meet @ camp - Highland fling weekend?
Post by: Brother Presidio on October 29, 2008, 12:17:51 AM
One of the guys in our group likes to make small wooden items and carve staffs and has been trying to get the guys in our group to start a trading post at our Feast day. It was cool last time we did it and I got a few things some of the other guys didnt want any more.  Brother Zacharias particularly enjoyed it and has been asking us to have one ever since.

I'm writing for Brother Zacharias , because he's too shy to start his own thread.
Would any of you be interested in meeting up some time over the Highland Fling weekend to do some trading?

Some of the items I saw last time at our trading post:
- Gypsy jewlery
- boots
- small leather items
- staffs
- carved wooden boxes
- gyspy clothes
- purses
- carved wood chess board
- sword

Of course just about anything would be welcome.

Anyone interested?

I'd be interested. I work with bamboo making staffs, wands, walking canes, and various other things. It might prove to be interesting, indeed!

I will let the monks know to bring the stuff they had at the last trading post.
The Brothers are normally really anxious to get into the festival on Saturday and dont normally leave all day. Sunday is more of a lazy day. Would you like to meet up around lunchtime at the campsite on Sunday?

It sounds like you are in need of a Holy Handgrenade my friend.

So, I passed this by all the guys in the group and none want to leave the festival for a swap meet. Every one of them said they would bring something for trading, but all of them want to do it just before dark on Friday.

So, if anyone wants to come by, we will have stuff for trade around sunset - scheduled at 5:30 on Friday.

So, lets say 5pm Friday - November 15th 14th.

The guys were moderately excited about the prospect of trying someone elses mead other than Thorne's...

Pardon Brother Presidio's lack of calendar skills, but it seems he meant Friday, November 14th, as the 15th is actually a Saturday. On a related note, I see the brewing of Penance is coming along rather nicely it seems.
