Dear Santa... Wish List

Dear Santa,
We have been good girls and boys. In order to be the best medieval reenactment group we can be, we wish to have a number of historically correct items to help us set the scene! Below is our wish list...

1) sewing kit
2) seats
3) surgical kit
4) long herald's trumpet
5) wheel barrow
6) lanterns
7) another table
8) knight's heraldry flags
9) Neville stickers
10) tent stakes
11) larger dining tent
12) solar lights
13) wash bins (for dishes)
14) WD 40
15) duct tape
16) BBQ lighters
17) fence posts
18) chains

Well, we have to admit that it's not all historically accurate but... We need it! So Santa, please help us collect these items and any others that get posted following this letter. Thank you and sincerely, the Neville Companye

Recipe Favorites

Bummer huh!?
