<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>Greetings Namron:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>During the last Populace Meeting, I mentioned that HRM Vanessa had requested our assistance </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>in filling a gift basket for the King and Queen of Atenveldt at Gulf Wars. I wrote a dear friend of mine </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>who lives in Atenveldt and received the following information:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>HRM Eduard loves anything with a wolf depicted on it, smoked meats, and brewed items. His </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>persona is a 14th century Englishman, but he loves to go "A Viking" with his beloved Queen. HRM lost an</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>eye years ago fighting live steel and has a sense of humor about it, he loves to display the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>populace badge of the sun of Atenveldt with a winking eye. (Links to these are found below)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>Queen Asa is an early period Viking. She is in a household with their symbol a Raven. A photo of both,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>the arms of the King and Queen of Atenveldt (gifts bearing this device would remain the property</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>of the Crown of Atenveldt after they step down) and their personal devices (gifts bearing these devices </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>could remain theirs after stepping down) are as follows: </FONT><A href="http://www.atenveldt.org/People/Royalty/The76thCrownofAtenveldtTRMEduardandAsa/tabid/491/Default.aspx">http://www.atenveldt.org/People/Royalty/The76thCrownofAtenveldtTRMEduardandAsa/tabid/491/Default.aspx</A> <FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>Wonderful items for gift baskets are: anything displaying your skill as an artisan....knitted gloves, embroidered bookmarks or cupcovers, handpainted noted cards, handmade soap, food (that doesn't need preservation like candied orange peel), </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3>etc. If you are not crafty oriented, other things I know have been gifted and are much appreciated: gift cards for gas, phone, </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3>food, etc. I have also purchased some</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>medieval looking photo frames, which are always nice gifts for anyone in the SCA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>What the King and Queen do not use themselves can be given as largesse, I know a friend of mine and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>I made 25 cupcovers for a basket once. We found the small crocheted doilies at a dollar store and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>attached lovely beads to weight them down. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3>Aten Sun: <A href="http://www.atenveldt.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=n9XnMGMJ1ho%3d&tabid=83&mid=1401" target=_blank>http://www.atenveldt.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=n9XnMGMJ1ho%3d&tabid=83&mid=1401</A> Looking for the populace badge: It is per fess blue and white with a postage stamp sun in the upper left hand corner of the blue.... <A href="http://www.goldenstag.net/MiscSCA/KingdomColors.htm#Atenveldt" target=_blank>http://www.goldenstag.net/MiscSCA/KingdomColors.htm#Atenveldt</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>It would be wonderful if I could have these items for Vanessa at the first March Populace Meeting at the </DIV>
<DIV>very latest....March 5th, so she can pack them for her trip to Gulf Wars. However, I would be willing to</DIV>
<DIV>accept anything you have at any time and will store it until it can be given to Vanessa.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. (405) 735-3466</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In Service,</DIV>
