I am in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism. We recreate the Medieval ages. I have been an active member of our group, The Barony of Settmour Swamp, for many years and today I received a Bronze Tower! Bronze Towers are given for service to the Barony. I am so honoured to have received this!! I have been the Chatelaine (new comer's officer) for quite a few years now and I love to co-autocrat and lend a hand at all events I attend. I'm pretty psyched to receive it!! I was awarded the Bronze Tower by Baron Sir Teric and Baroness Paigan Crawford
Here I am, receiving the Bronze Tower (kneeling with my 2 girls in yellow by my side).
It was SO hot, hazy and humid, I was 1/2 dieing in my velvet and linen dress! The girls were fortunate to be in shorts and t-shirts! (usually they are dressed in medieval clothes but it was just too icky to torment them in such weather!
My girls were terribly excited for my award! My 4 year old kept asking, "Mommy, where's your TROPHY?!" When I showed her my Bronze Tower pendant she said, "Mommy, that's a NECKLACE! Where's the trophy?!" It was pretty funny as she was downright offended that her mommy didn't get a big-ass trophy, but rather a 2.5 inch high pendant! (don'tcha just love Pippin (kneeling in his grass skirt and his coconut bra?! LMAO!!)
I plan to continue my service to the Barony of Settmour Swamp, though I will be moving to another barony come mid-summer, I will have to give up my officership, (to Robyn from whom I received it! Funny how things go full circle!!

Awwww...Gabz, congrats!!! I'm so happy for you. What a great honor! I'm so proud of you!
And I'm sure you made the right choice letting the girls dress cool.
You look great!
Wow, Gabi! I am so proud of you! Congratulations for receiving such a import reward for all the work that you do! I guess you wil never forget that day! I hope it will (keep) bringing you energy and enthousiasm for this special work.
Go Girl!
Wowsers, Gab! That is sooo cool, and it's just funny how you can find so many common places in new people you meet. My favorite place to go during the summer is the Bristol Renaissance Fair in Wisconsin. I imagine that is not as profound as your group, but it's the only thing I have close to us where I can imagine what those times might have been like. I don't dress the part, because it's just way too hot for me, but I love to wear the flower tiara-like thingy with ribbons.
Well, congratulations again!
TOO COOL!!! And CONGRATS!!!!!!!
You have the best life I swear!! That is so neat and I can't wait to see your SB pages of this event! Nice accomplishment, I'm also certain you will excel in your new 'group' and do just as many great things there too!!!
