[Bordermarch] Gift Baskets for Melees

[Jillian Birtciel]

Greetings to the Populace!

 This year's BAM is shaping up to be monumental!  And in order to make it
even more memorable for some of the special folks in our lives, the barony
has decided to prepare a few gifts.  If you have anything you'd like to
donate, I'm collecting from now until mid-November (and probably up until
the very day!) anywhere you see me, or know someone can pass along items.

Some ideas/thoughts/themes are:
colors of purple, green, & gold; blue & white, red & gold, earth tones
brewing supplies
general/French history
Celtic items
Fleur-de-lys
Phoenix/swords
Horseshoes
Paw prints
Archery

I have already commissioned some specialty tankards for our recipients, but
anything is welcome to showcase the hearts of this Barony.

I would also like to suggest that any of our supremely talented artisans
and craftsman ply your favorite art and donate an example.

Finally, the incoming crown of Glean Abhann has specifically asked for
largesse for them to give to the children of their Kingdom.  I would dearly
love to be able to give them a HUGE basket of kid-appropriate goodies to
pass along.  I have several wonderful items already collected, but I truly
want to weigh them down in a ridiculous manner with the generosity of this
group!
