[Wyewood] Fwd: Feast of St. Bubba Largesse Swap!

[Kris John]

Greetings Wyewood!
I'm coordinating A&S for the Feast of St Bubba, including a Largesse Swap
like we did last year. Will you be participating?
If you're not familiar with largesse, here's a primer from Dragons Mist -
https://dragonsmist.antir.sca.org/what-is-largesse/
The idea is to bring 6 items (they can be the same or 6 different things).
Before the feast, we'll "swap" and participants can pick up to 3 of the
items to take. Remaining items go to the Barony.
Also, I'd love to help you find an idea for your skills and resources. I
have a couple ideas that require very little or no craft skill and ideas
that take more, just feel free to email.
In the meantime, here are some resources:

   - I've copied a list at the bottom from the SCA Largesse Facebook group
   for inspiration.
   - If you're on Facebook, I've also made a couple posts in the Barony of
   Wyewood Discussion Group with ideas and links.
   - In case you're on Pinterest, here's a link to my Largesse board -
