My Favorite Libraries...
Various people's works I think are worth checking out!



When you get tired of trying to deal with armourers and sword merchants who are here today and gone tomorrow, you can check out a company listed on the hand selected  Peak Directory .   Not just a "telephone book" of  url's culled off the web by a robot spider,  these have been all checked out and verified as being current, and in operation.  Can't ask more than that!  Click on the logo to go to their site.   or go to the link by typing in www.peakdirectory.com

The Academy of European Medieval Martial Arts (AEMMA) (http://www.aemma.org)
To quote the site: "The mission of A.E.M.M.A. is to resurrect the combat skills, philosophies and principles of an accomplished European Medieval martial artist and to achieve a state of which would be consistent with that of a 15th century warrior in both technology and ideal."
          What could be more appropriate for a medievalist?



Looking for a real chef's jacket, or a scotch spoon, here is a real nice store to browse through.  If you can't get to Norwich England, you can check it out "on line" and see how a store which has  survived wars and recessions for 200 years does it.  Cut and paste follows...
Established in 1791 Looses has been trading in Norwich for over 200 years. We are a traditional family run business, offering a great range of products at competitive prices.  Our award winning cookshop is located in a quiet courtyard right in the heart of Norwich, and is packed with everything you could possibly want to have in your kitchen. Our aim is to offer everything we sell in our shop on line, and whilst we are not there yet, we are adding more to the website everyday!

A Pictoral Glossary of Arms and Armour

Click on the above to see Greg Daub's wonderful glossary of armour.  This is part of his fine armouring site...http://www.messiah.edu/hpages/facstaff/gdaub/armor/home.htm
 

http://www.armuredube.com/

Eric has been my very good friend and mentor for more than ten years now.  His armour is truly poetry in steel, and much of the armour on my site is made by him.  He is starting to become well known in the armouring community, and a I commend anybody interested in museum quality armour to visit him and his site.
     He is also heavily involved in a wonderful boffer based live action role playing adventure involving hundreds of warriors, orcs and elves in a gorgeous fully costumed event called Bicolline. You have to see this to believe it!

A remarkable collection of links from across the web. I start browsing at this site, and am lost for two days!!! At first I thought this was all in Hungarian, however, the links are mostly all in English, and heck...pictures have no language!   This is a very neat place to visit!

 


Now here is a really cool place! A castle and museum, and an art gallery all on 3 dozen acres of land just off Georgian Bay! This took me by surprise, seeing as how its a little off the beaten track about two hours drive north of Toronto, but here is the real thing...a guy with the passion to create a mini-theme park smack in the middle of cottage country! Unspoiled, and clearly worth the drive!
 

Brenda and I have always been impressed by the high quality of this Ottawa Restaurant! Good home cooking like Baba used to make! A glass of Krupnik and a slice of feather-light peach cheesecake to pack down your Hungarian Goulash or Schnitzel will leave you very, very happy indeed! If you come to Ottawa to visit us, this is where we would take you for dinner.

Another Links Portal, but OH, WHAT a PORTAL!

Castles on the web are a link exchange site.  They have a remarkably complete collection of really wonderful sites like mine, all carefully indexed and detailed.  Just exactly what you need when you need to get surfing!  Highly recommended by my staff.


Jim's Soapstone Carvings

Tactile, and exciting.  Craftsmanship at its finest in a most difficult medium.


 
 

DenverFabrics.com
- http://www.denverfabrics.com

Fabric for fashion, dancewear, costumes, rug hooking, crafts and home decor. Many silk, wool, and linen designer fabrics. Prices often at or below wholesale fabric pricing. Also sewing notions, trims, books and patterns at discount.

 Actually, not such a bad site.  I did a link exchange with them, but they didn't send me a picture, so I guess you will just have to visit!


hypogeum

 Malta Heritage
 what can I say?  Here is a portal on the most fascinating country in Europe.  If you visit no other country in Europe but this one, you will die happy.


  



The evil cheerleaders.  A stunning company of actresses....you have to see it to believe it.
