Esmerelda? I thought Shireladies were named after flowers. Oh well, that tells you the limits of MY herb-lore. :) Marvelous, simple F & E story. Thank you. | |

Thevina, I really loved this story, it moved me a lot. I do a lot of craftwork myself, so I loved the image of Eowyn learning straw weaving at her mother's knee and sharing the gifts of her heart with those she cares about. I've been teaching my Gr. 5 class to needlepoint for the last two days and I really saw myself in the mother and child passing the crafting tradition from one generation to the next. Thanks for this lovely story. Author Reply: Thank you so much, Allison! It was the mixture of materials that would have been available to the Rohirrim and the complexity of Eowyn's life that "braided" this story together. I am so glad that you enjoyed it. It's a favorite of mine, too. :) | |
