Fulfilled vows and new acquisitions

The 9th Day of the End of Summer, in 1085.
My most dear and beloved husband has fulfilled all his promises to I. Now the owner of Simple Luxury. I find myself able to once again show my skill as a needlewoman. The previous owner, said my Most Honorable Cecil, was a retiring commoner who was pleased to pass the property over to one who would care for it so well.

I have kept the girl who works there, a young girl named Boetta. Her taste is perhaps odd. However, she is an eager girl who keeps the clothing tidy and gives mostly informed opinions. A new lady's maid has been acquired, a young Miriel J. Greyson. The quality of servitude is rising.

As my husband has fulfilled his promises, it is time for I to fulfill mine. I have acquired the assistance of Rachelle Larkin in this case and the matter of cloth. I hope to keep it a secret. I have tried enough old wives' tales and poor advice. I hope this is the last one I have to deal with. I will pray to the great Ylessa in the morn.
