femkes_folliesOr, why I think you're fabulous, even without the leaves!
1. You were the very first "costume wonk" I met who was friendly, kind, and encouraging. (Well, besides Alaina, who is so near to being "family" that I don't even think about when we _met_). Your hat class at KWCS was something that I came to because nothing else at that time period was remotely interesting. And it ended up with my meeting one of the SCA people I now respect most.
2. Your generosity of time and talent. Can we tack "Royal Seamstress" onto your list of titles?
3. Your unstinting focus on encouraging folks in A&S the RIGHT way. With kind words, encouraging comments, and gentle direction in where to go next. It is, after all, due to THAT kind of encouragement that I've even TRIED to shake down the information on Dutch dress that a year ago I assumed just didn't exist.
4. Your delightful personality. Hanging out with you at events is like sitting in a little patch of sunshine which no snarkiness, politcal machinations, or silly rumor-mongering can dampen.
You are WITHOUT peer, m'dear. Even among Peers. ;-)
