Update and new photos
It's been a while since the muddy phantom has written anything... she's been a busy muddy phantom, though... churning out tons of new ware, filling orders for Christmas presents, and moving... yet again. We're all moved in to a house now... the one we were going to remodel and resell until the housing market went in the toilet. I'm happy though because, for the first time since I moved to this part of the country, I have a good kitchen that isn't the size of a closet... rediscovered my love of cooking :).
The bulk of my ware is still on display at Not Right Minded? in Martinsburg, but I now have my first craft show under my belt.... did a little dinky one at a local high school and discovered that my stuff isn't cut out for Christmas Craft shows... oh well... I did get some contacts for other events and sold a few pieces... which brings me to scheduling...
December Schedule!
November30-December 2: Reeactor Fest in Gettysburg, PA
From the official website :
Reenactor Fest is thrilled to be adding another convention date to our calendar in historic Gettysburg!
When you think of historical reenacting, few locations spring to mind as quickly as Gettysburg. The
town and historic battlefields cater to reenactors and history buffs, and the Eisenhower hotel is right
there in Gettysburg itself... mere minutes from the fields where the din of battle changed our Nation
forever. You'll love your time at the convention too! The vendor hall, seminars, live music and
demonstrations, the Grand Ball, nightly parties, and the electricity in the air that only happens when
you bring so many great reenactors together in one spot!
Reenactor Fest is open to the public, and has stuff for all ages to see and do. Kids 10 and under get in free!
Adult Admission is only:
$15 for one day
$20 for two days
$25 for all three days
Discounted room rates of $87 per night are available for Reenactor Fest attendees at the Eisenhower.
Make sure you ask to stay in EISENHOWER TWO, the newer part of the resort complex.
December 7 and December 14: Greencastle-Antrim Heritage Christmas in Greencastle, PA
I couldn't find an official website for this, but it's a gathering of Christmas traditions in this Pennsylvania town... there'll be carolers, vendors, childrens activities, and other sources of merriment. And we'll be there with a first-time offer for The Mermaid's Wheel: free hot chocolate with any mug purchase! We'll be using an 18th century recipe that puts modern cocoa to shame.... tasty!
December 8-9: Harper's Ferry
This one is up in the air... need to call about it, but we may be at a similar event in Harper's Ferry... stay tuned for more information. **** News: Definitely in!!! Event starts at 9 and goes to 5 each day. Located at Hilltop House in Harper's Ferry.****
Now, as promised, the new stuff!
