The New Year has begun, and with it come resolutions, good intentions, solemn promises to oneself, and the determined turning over of new leaves. Our session this month welcomes stories of new undertakings, clean slates, and fresh starts...including those honoured more in the breech than in the observance. All former sinners, resolute reformers and wouldbegoods are welcome, whether to tell tales or hear them.

Sponsored by the Caledon Library and the Clan of Seafarers and Storytellers
This is the season of giving...but what is a gift? What does giving mean? Is it Herr Drosselmeyer's magical toys, or a kind word from a stranger?
Both, you say?
Great gifts are guiles and look for gifts again, you say?
That is indubitably the stuff of Story! We welcome stories of gifts great and small, simple and elaborate, intentional and accidental.All storytellers, bards, griots, and nimble-brained liars are welcome to join us, as are those who merely wish to hear a tale or two!

"One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six...."

Opening Salon for a new Exhibit at the Caledon Library
"The Past Reimagined: Victorian Fashion and the Designs of Eladrienne Laval"
Sunday December 7 1-3 pm SLT
Whitehorn Library, Caledon Victoria City
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Victoria%20City/52/203/23
Exhibit through February 2008
Eladrienne Laval's real life background as an artist and a student of History guides her SL design work, and her experience with the fabric arts informs both eye and her design choices.
This exhibit explores Miss Laval's creations from source image though design and construction, and places them in the context of her inspirations from Victorian art and Fashion. A section of the exhibit looks at one of Miss Laval's favorite designers, Charles Frederick Worth, the father of haute couture. Caledon Library curator Siri Woodget has collaborated with Miss Laval to supplement the exhibit with materials on one of Worth's famous patrons, Isabella Stewart Gardner.
The opening salon will feature conversation with the curator, a treasure hunt for answers, and the unveiling of a new item of SL couture! Especially for this exhibit, Miss Laval has created an in-world re-imagined version of one of Mrs. Gardner's favorite dresses by Worth.
The Caledon Library would like to extend its thanks to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum of Boston, Massachusetts, for its kind permission to use materials relating to the life of Mrs. Gardner
