I hate it when this thing sends early..grr. As I was saying, I do look like a
mad scientist, don't I? One night in the Laboh-ratory..
We still need to see your SHOE pictures! You can, by the way, have the class
over here if that would help, but a Friday nite would be better for me if so.
By the by..I also have a Berengaria question, if she is available:
recipe for Pomander that I came across:
"Take two penny worth of labdanum, two penny worth of storax liquid, one
penny worth of calamus aromaticus, as much balme, half a quarter pound of
fine wax, of cloves and mace two penny worth, of nutmegs eight penny worth,
and of musk four graines. Beat all exceedingly together till they come to a
perfect substance, then mould it in any fashion you please and dry it."

O.K.- what are they: labdanum(laudanum- same thing?), storax liquid, calamus
aromaticus balme? Are they, or their equivalents, obtainable nowadays?
What would be the equivalent in measurement for a penny worth? How about a
graine?
I wonder if these could be made in smaller soap molds and used as site tokens
for WinterKingdom?
Appreciate it!!
