helwenHm. Let's see, what did I do? Some weaving, of course. Not much with the house besides wash a few dishes. Walked to the bank in the morning to deposit a check. We were naughty and went out to lunch at the local Chinese place - walked there at least. Wrote a short letter to Z that we need to print out and mail. Some work on the books (or was that Thursday?), and stuff online.
We were going to dress up for the B&N HP party, but L wasn't up for it and would have been too hot, with the number of people who were there. I did wear a funky multi-colored swirl of 'hair in my hair, just for something different.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
islenskr and looked very spiff in their outfits, which were essentially regular clothing with cloaks, but the clothing choices were excellent, and she had a very nice broom, and he had a good wand too, for accessories.
A number of Bergenthalers were there and we enjoyed chatting from time to time. L found some books he liked, plus one for us to share; The Golden Compass. I found a book on native plants of the Northeast, an excellent find. I'd been thinking I really needed something like this, and there it was.
Had some nice chats with complete strangers, including one with two folks over by the occult/new age section -- we all agreed that the section could use some work. Although Kalliera did find a book of 3 books, including a source going back to the 1530's I think -- we were joking that we could start an SCA 'magic' order -- although of course it would have to be persona-only, and likely be 'secret'. No strutting about in plain view, like some folks who play vampires in broad daylight. Also, SCA has specific rules regarding religion and magic, interestingly enough.

This morning we'll be hitting Webs and then the vendors at the NE weaver seminar at Smith, then up to the farm for the day. Doris is there, and Cousin Karla will be working today, so a full house.

We had some good conversations with people who were there, not just with people that we knew. Common ground.
