Attractive distractions
So I looked up my book last night (see reference below). It is not available at the university of Maryland library, but I can get it at the Library of Congress. So the next time I have a day off I will have to go do some research there. I am lucky it is so close.
OMG... I almost forgot. I found a new fabric store near my temp job last night. They have Silk, Linnen, Linnen/Hemp blends.... So beutiful. AND they are having a sale right now. There is some GORGEOUS red silk with a tabby woven design that is TO DIE FOR. It is listed at 19.99/Yard 60% off. THAT makes it about $9.00 per yard. I could totally make a gorgeous Kentish over dress out of it with about 3 yards MAX. Alas I am tottally broke. maybe they will exchange for blood or first born children. "Will give birth for silk"
For further reference, Google Books Description: ( C.J. Arnold, An Archaeology of the Early Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms- offers an unparalleled view of the archaeological remains of the period. In this fully revised edition, all of the key recent finds and developments in the field of Anglo-Saxon studies are incorporated. With an expanded text and an increased number of illustrations, C. J. Arnold uses the development of the kingdoms as a framework to closely examine the wealth of material evidence and analyze its significance to our understanding of the society that created it. Examining migrations of the Germanic peoples into the British Isles, the subsequent patterns of settlement, land-use and trade, social hierarchy and cultural identity within the kingdoms, i An Archaeology of the Early Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms /i illuminates one of the most obscure and misunderstood periods in European history.)
