Duchess Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Awesome! I'm glad that things have arrived in the right places! Is there anyone else who hasn't contacted me that is still waiting for a gift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharityRackham Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Your gift was wonderful and I'll cherish it! I received a wooden treasure chest, full with gems, pieces of eight and dubloons... there was a curious's skull there too... and underneath, hidden well, like the precious navigation tools should be... a nocturnal! Something I never thought I might get! It is to be worn as a necklace, but I am afraid to wear it not to lose it! Please read Marina's first three phrases here in order to know that I was aware it existed... and I wrote about it. You are very welcome. Due to its small size it isn't as accurate as the bigger full size ones but it works all right. The company that makes them does some incredible little history pieces and when I saw that one I fell in love with it. I think they might actually be sold out now (They had a small batch of them left) but I bought one for you, and I must confess, one for myself. I'm considering putting it on a little chain and wearing it with Charity. I'll probably tuck it inside my shirt so that it is safe but pull it out when we are somewhere different and work with using it. Actually.. If I may... Since you live somewhere else on this great planet (somewhere other then where most of us are) it might be cool to move this talk to another place on the form (any suggestions folks) and we can actually see how well such a small version of these work in different places. How's that sound? Gotta dash. Tons to get done. Happy I did right by you. Happy it got to you.

Duchess Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Well, I think I've heard from everyone involved in the 2010 Gift Exchange. And to the best of my knowledge everything has been resolved fairly to all parties. If this isn't the case,please let me know! So with that in mind I officially declare the Holiday Season over. It was a fun run everyone and thanks to all who participated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes1761 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Ms. Duchess, Thank you for standing at the helm for this, I am already looking forward to this year...... If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharityRackham Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Special thank you Duchess. I agree with Wes... This was fun and I too am already planning for this year. Jaded - Oh you sweet woman. I've already used the shell in my 'Charity props' and am thinking of other times to use it as well. I wore the little dragon fly necklace at New Year's Eve and it got some lovely compliments. I can't wait to see what you are sending. I will make sure to post it here when it does come. I sent you a thank you and it came back undelivered. I don't know if I read your address wrong or not but could you please send me your address via PM? I'd like to try and send it again. Now Duchess.. I'd love for everyone to know how wonderful this turned out for me this year. Hubby and I are soooo strapped tight on the cash (They also canceled SGU - our primary income so we are working hard for the next gig before running completely out of money - the life of an artist) and Christmas was going to look bleak but this one little extra bit has turned into a lovely experience that assisted in making me feel richer. The topper on this was today when I received a little envelope in the mail.... Elena. I want folks to know how lovely you are. Elena has a tradition in her country. She sent me links on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%83r%C5%A3i%C5%9For http://www.moldova.org/page/martisor-a-beautiful-tradition-in-moldova-and-romania-59-eng.html I received in the mail the tiniest of sail ship (In sterling silver), crossed anchors (her notes say it means faith, hope and love) and a bracelet. The two little amulets have the red and white strings tied to them and the bracelet is red and white as well. It is all for luck and best wishes so I am at present, trying to figure out how to include the little ship on my Charity outfit. I have considered adding it to a braid but I'm afraid it might get damaged. It is so tiny. I'll figure it out. Thank you Elena for knowing that I need a smile and some good luck. We are going to have to work soooo much harder this year to fix the damage done by others to the BC Renfest and the Jade Dragon Crew, and even the smallest of happy thoughts, best wishes and a little love can go such a long way. This experience was well worth everything we put into it and I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel soooo much better having done this. Next year it'd be incredible to get more folks involved. Later. Yours in time and adventure.
