Anna Di Bonannes - Silver Wheel

We’ll start off on an even keel

With recipe for Silver Wheel 

Take passion for cookery arts

Immersed in all the kitchen parts

Put troth to the board of the day

When that’s done return to the fray 

Grind together, and strain forth then

With skilled hands and general ken  

Set before Us, for all to see

Anna Di Bonannes so decreed

Our Silver Wheel Recipient

Done this Baronial advent 

Of Bhkail’s Yule Revel and Investiture, in this Eastern Kingdom, Anno Societatis LIX. 

As read in Majesties Matthew and  Fiamuin’s Royal Court.

Holt Kincaid of Hawks' Glen - Silver Brooch

Here by honorable hit 
On the Eastern Throne They sit
Magnates Matthew! Fiamuin! 
As We welcome everyone

At this, Our annual Yule 
Kept by Baronial jewels,
That befalls in Bergental
And Beyond the Mountain’s mall

Today's richness and revel
Gives way for someone special 
Our Holt Kincaid of Hawks' Glen 
Here meets the measure again

Her Stitches will wind their way
Around garb in fine array 
Entwined knots around the neck 
Like twined Ouroboros’ trek

Her needle craft noteworthy  
Such joy in her thread’s journey 
Distinction We deliver 
Being this Brooch of Silver
