I first learned of the Society for Creative Anachronism in 2007, while attending the University of Florida in Gainesville. Growing up, I had always loved Renaissance & Medieval Fairs. My parents had taken me to the Sarasota Medieval Fair every year during middle school and high school. When I was old enough to drive, I dragged my friends to the Bay Area Renaissance Festival in Tampa. Then, after I left home for college, I would go to the local Hoggetowne Medieval Faire in Gainesville. One year, the local SCA group set up a pavilion and demo at Hoggetowne and I was thus introduced to the world of recreating Medieval life.
Despite my introduction to the SCA in 2007, I didn’t reach out to my local group for another six years. Then, in 2013, after I had relocated to the Washington DC metro area, I found the Barony of Storvik in the Kingdom of Atlantia.
And that is where my story begins.
This site will be ever-changing, as I write new blog posts on events I’ve recently attended and also catch up on posting about past events and projects that I’ve already completed. Feel free to scroll through and post questions & comments as you like.

Let me know if you are interested in attending our shire’s weekend-long embroidery-only event. Even though everything says “Filled,” I might be able to squeeze you in! Or, ask to be added to the mailing list to get advance notice for next year’s event.

Thank you very much for the invitation, Mistress Alicia! That is so kind 🙂 Unfortunately I already have something on my calendar for that weekend, but I will make a note to attend next year. I have several friends from Atlantia who usually go and they speak very highly of it!
