Shopping advice

Capt. Spleen, are you suggesting I should "plunder" a goblet from the Baron and Baroness, seeing as though they have the actual goblets I am looking for?


Easier said than done, M'Lady!  Even for a Duchess!  Even for a Duke the size of a small walk-in freezer!

Lady Ana Francesca, I would never taint a Lady such as yourself, wit any ill ideas.

Unless ye were intendin' t' be a crossin' o'er t' th' dark side.

You might want to check some antique stores. That is where I purchased my husband's mug. I got mine from a good will store for $0.25.

You never know what treasures you will find at antique stores. I recommend that big one on Broadway, just north of West Littleton Blvd.

I second Lady Bootlegger's suggestion on antique or second hand stores. I found CORF's official ceramic mug from 1988 (the year I was born) at a Salvation Army, bought it for a few dollars. Interesting to see how much the size of the mugs has increased over the last twenty or so years....

I'll be checking that out! I never considered that those shoppes might have some old used wizard robes or such...

They can be a good place to look for garb-like items.  Just today I picked up pirate attire for my 10YO at a thrift store for about $15.  She loves it.  It included:

-flowy lace up shirt
-black & white striped sleeveless top/vest
-gaucho pants
-red & black floral skirt with a bit of Asian as well (we cut it into strips partway up all around)
-beaded belt
-red headscarf & a black oblong scarf

She just needs some boots & she'll be all set.

I shop regularly at thrift stores, for ren stuff and non-ren stuff. Amazing the kinds of things you can find there. I think there's a bit of a stigma associated with shopping at places like the ARC but there are some amazing finds there sometimes.

I picked up a fabulous leather belt for $2.99 at the Salvation Army thrift store.  It's a shade of green that perfectly matches the garb I'm working on right now!

Also found an amazing steal of a deal on a knee length leather coat and matching pants *shudder*...  $3.98!!  Fabric to be repurposed.

I *love* thrift store shopping!

Now now Baron, certainly you know that it is not in my character to "plunder" anything.  However, if someone from the "dark side" were to give me a lovely goblet as a gift, I wouldn't question where it came from.  You need not worry about your goblet(s).  I'm quite sure they are safe!!

I'm searching for a stainless steel or sterling silver (preferably the former) drinking goblet. Any advice??

Dearest Duchess,

If Your Grace can delay goblet gratification until your next visit to Larkspurshire, the Baroness and I have come up with a little something that may serve.  Be sure to let us know when Your Grace will be in attendance, and we will be sure to have it ready.

Fondly,
