Because many of you are likely doing the last minute scramble before Pennsic and/or Faire, I figured I'd let you all know about a yard sale that's going on THIS WEEKEND, where all the profits go to the MS Society, that's just chock full of gear and garb! If you're in the MD/DC/VA area, this is a must-attend event if you want to have all the accoutrements every wench needs to have!!!
There are close to 500 items for sale. (!!) They come under the general categories of:
- Let There Be Fire: candles, candlesticks, sconces, incense, candlemaking kits
- But I Have Nothing To Wear: mens's and women's garb and
accessories in a variety of sizes and class (peasant to noble.) Bodices, breeches, chemises, skirts, muffin caps, boots, shoes, etc.
- All That Glitters: rings, necklaces, pins, pendants
- Thys Olde House: cookware, sewing patterns, fabrics, books for thy library, sewing kits, knitting kits, cookbooks, hatboxes, breadbox, designer baskets, decorative tins, jars, and more...
- Let the Feast Begin!: ceramic, pewter, and wooden feast gear in sets or single items, tankards, utensils, napkins, wooden and clay bowls, goblets (some handblown)
- Prepare for Fair: carry baskets, titmice, sunscreen, bug wipes, lipstick, etc.
- M'Lady's Garden: indoor and outdoor plants
At prices better than ebay, most items are priced between 50 cents and $15; bigger ticket items include a wool cloak ($50), feast gear sets ($25), wool mantle ($20) and full men's and women's noble garb ($50 each set).
There will also be three items up for silent auction, you do not have to be present to win!
PORTAGE:
Boxes, bags, and bubblepack will be available for folks who need to carry their purchases home safely.
HOW TO GET THERE:
Take the Washington Beltway (495) to Kennilworth South (201). Within 1/4 mile, you will go under a bridge created by Greenbelt Road. At the first light after the bridge, turn right onto Pontiac Street. At the first stop sign, find parking. The house is #6211. There will be a sign up on Saturday.
If you're looking for garb, gear, or anything else that'll help you in either faire or at pennsic or both, come on down to this wonderful charity event!
Please pass this on to anyone you know who'd be interested in this!
