It also lead me to learn more about the seasons as expressed in Celtic Lore. Readers of the series will totally understand this statement. Here's Erin and I waiting to get the latest book in the series signed by Diana, herself. It's also a picture of me in another hat I wear...

Was that picture taken at the Tattered Cover?
Still need your winding station and I guess a copy of the cherry pattern as I cannot find the one I thought I got at guild.
