You apply but you never think it'll be you.

I just got the word and the Seneschal posted it to the list.

I was chosen to be the next Baroness of Bright Hills.

I'm speechless and that's sayin' something.

Many congratulations, Your Pretty-darn-Goodness, best wishes for your upcoming tenure, and hopes for a smooth transition.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Barre and Cordelia are the best and I know things will go smoothly.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[janinas-nest.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! The day hasn't been decided, but we'll let you know.

And I will forcibly refrain from mentioning that you have nearly 2 weeks to pull this entire shebang together.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
whew,
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Oh wait, we have great cooks, great event staff, and a great barony so I'm going to stay out of their way.

I'm working on a fealty oath and between meeting with Barre & Cordelia and everything else there will be no new garb except for the son who grew (the nerve!) and some new extras to go with what we have. That will have to wait until our May event.

other than that I am concentrating on perfecting my technique of running around in circles....

Rock On!

Unfortunately, my beginning weaving class runs from 10a until 3p, so I'll be very, very late for your investiture. But if there's anything I can do--like before 9:30a on that day or helping you finish any new garb or the like beforehand--let me know.

Re: Rock On!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I kindly accept your offer!

Right now I will not be making any major garb except for brocade coat for my persian (easy peezy), a hood for Eric, and a new t-tunic outfit for the son.

I could probably use help on Thursday Night of next week to be sure that I'm on track sewing wise and to slap me if I'm not.....I'm also off from work Friday the 2nd and will be sewing then too.

Congratulations!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

So, have you tried out your Laurel Super Powers yet?

[greta-k.livejournal.com]

Make certain you have good help. A head retainer at the very least, to:
a) Keep you running on time
b) Keep you from being innundated by too many people
c) Keep you sane (well, mostly :-)

Congrats, soon-to-be fearless leader Birght Hills!

[azpapillion.livejournal.com]

Congrats Martel! Well deserved... :)

[belfebe.livejournal.com]

Absolutely fabulous! I am so happy for you! Let us know if you need anything :-D

Many congratulations, Your Pretty-darn-Goodness. I wish we could be there but we already have University commitments. Anything we can do for you at University?

[lady-eliz.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

[herveus.livejournal.com]

Not yet.

>_>

<_< Be concerned. Be very concerned. Perhaps I should prepare a demonstration for you... :)

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

I'm tortured as it is. There are a lot of classes I would have liked to taken.

but thank you!

:-(

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you, you may just hear from me........

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Yes, I need someone just to write down all the things that people tell me at events. The plug is a little loose in my brain and things tend to slowly leak out....

Thank you,

I love the food the cooks Guild makes but seeing that
we are only 13 days out I will not add to your burden
by requesting a special dish this time. I have
complete and utter faith that you will feed us stoopid
with the mouthwatering menu you posted!

[duchessrachel.livejournal.com]

WOO-HOO! Yea you! If you want any advice from a former Landed Baroness, give me a buzz.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Oh I will take you up on it as I value your advice highly. Thank you!

[duchessrachel.livejournal.com]

Well, send me an email (duchessrachel@sc.rr.com) and I send you stuff.
