One detail...

[rowangolightly]

There is one detail that I simply do not know how I'm going to deal with. The broom.

Before the hand-fasting last year, I asked Wabi (the wonderful basket-maker and henna artist who is married to Clayton, the wonderful blacksmith at both OKRF and White Hart) if she would make me a broom. She did; it's handmade and lovingly woven with gemstones inlaid in the handle and she was very proud of it.

It got lost in the mail. We used Charles' and Di's broom that Di generously brought up for the hand-fasting, decorated with flowers.

Wabi got the broom back, it was delivered to her in April. It was broken. At OKRF she told me and said, "If you still want it, I'll see if I can repair it." I said, "OF COURSE, I still want it!" But she forgot to bring it to White Hart. *sigh* I said I'd come and see her to pick it up; believe they live near Muskogee somewhere.

I don't have time to go see her or to pick it up. It breaks my heart, but I just don't. I don't know quite how I'll get all this sewing done; when you accomplish miracles routinely, the people around you come to expect it and to think nothing of it and expect more. Yes, I've done this to myself.

Poo.

I'll see if my dad can get a hold of them? We know em.

That would be wonderful! I have her phone number (at home, of course) and need to call her when I get back.

But if you guys could accomplish that bit of impossibility for me, that would be awesome.

Might find out where they live, specifically? According to my mom, its not near Muskogee, its out in the boonies somewhere. ^_^

I'll give her a call on Friday when I get home and find that out for certain.

Up past Owasso. Still doable if you want to arrange a time where I can go pick up yer broomage. ^_^

That would be awesome! I'll call her and see if we can't work this out.

I'd pretty much given up on getting this taken care of...not a huge deal in the whole scheme of things but something that will make it an even happier event.

Ye gods, do we have photographers! There'll be more pictures of this wedding, I 'magine that any real royal I've ever heard of. On top of that a friend is bringing his new video camera and covering it that way. There'll be pictures and footage of this wedding from here to kingdom come!

Did the broom get picked up? Because I have to go through Owasso on my way down on Friday evening to pick up sewfastdancer from the OSU Tulsa campus (so she can be at KC this weekend with us).

(I come down US 169 all the way from Coffeyville.)

I took care of it yesterday ^_^

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Yes, it did and it's in my possession. Unfortunately, not the original one I was so stoked about; guess it got too badly damaged to repair. *sigh* But we have a broom and it's a Wabi-broom so that makes it special in and of itself!

[chibi-jeni.livejournal.com]

Surely there's someone who lives in the Muskogee area who is going to the wedding who would be willing to pick up the broom and transport it to you!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

See above....and yeah, that's why I posted it. They are such wonderful folk that I know they have lots of friends; we have lots of friends...ergo, hope.

I just noticed Peter's comment right after I posted that! :D
