Black Swan Designs at Gulf Wars

Post by Gwen »

Hi folks-

I've gotten more than a few emails asking what I'm bringing to Gulf Wars, as it appears that I'm listed in the Merchant listing.

I regret any inconvenience, but Black Swan Designs will NOT be at Gulf Wars. Although a company named "Black Swan Enterprises" will be, I have absolutely no idea who they are or what they sell. "Black Swan Enterprises" is in no way connected to Black Swan Designs and/or Historic Enterprises.

For those in the UK, Historic Enterprises/Black Swan Designs will be at the Original Reenactor's Market at the Sports Connexion in Ryton-on-Dunsmore this coming weekend, March 5, 6 and 7. Please feel free to stop by and say hello if you're attending the market.

Thanks!

Gwen

Hi Gwen

Sorry to post this, but I didn't get a reply to the email I sent. How much longer will it be until the 13th century braies are back in stock? I've been watching the website for about a week now. THanks,

Wil- 13th C. braies were cut before I left, and were supposed to be done sometime around my return next week. Francena has not reported any delays, so I expect they'll be available soon. Sorry for the delay, I'm not there to crack the whip. ;)

No roughing up necessary lads, but I would appreciate a heads-up if "Black Swan Enterprises" is intentionally trying to capitalize on my name.

Sorry we'll miss you Thomas, but we'll be at the National Living History Faire in October, perhaps we'll see you then!

I'll be back next Wednesday with all sorts of new and wonderful products. Keep an eye on the website, they'll go up shortly after our return!

Thanks!

I just received my new doublet from Gwen. WOW! It is gorgeous and fits so well one would have thought I flew out to California for a fitting!
It is the 'new' style with raised waist and holes for points at the bottom of the peplum. It is very ,very well made and I am very, very happy with it!!!! :D And when am I ever happy? :wink:

Sweet lord, let there be yet more 14th century items! ; )

BTW, Gwen, my madness has begun, see thread elsewhere--it looks like I will be obtaining some large quantities of goods from you.

Has anyone gotten email from Francena or anyone at HE this week. I've sent a couple emails to them but no replies.

:sad:

Hiya all-

Saw Chris W / Depths_of_Minds at the market today and he said people were wondering where we were. Still in the UK (currently ducking out of a very loud and drunken Destrier party), will be back on Wednesday. Francena has been out of the office on some personal business Thursday and Friday but will be back in on Monday. She's still processing orders in our absence, so don't feel you need to wait to place orders just because we're not there. :)
