When we started doing this a few months back the idea was two fold. First to support other folks in the industry by putting our money where our mouth is and spending with them to buy gift certificates and featuring them for a month to help get them traffic. And then second to give something back to the customers, the folks we depend on for being there for us so we can be there for you. This month we have something a little different. Everyone who places an order with us http://www.merctailor.com/ during the month of December will automatically be registered in the drawing for a $75.00 gift certificate to Purpleheart Armoury http://www.woodenswords.com/ a second $75.00 gift certificate from Christian, Greg and the fellas at Freelance Academy Press http://www.freelanceacademypress.com/ and the unusual part. Craig from Arms & Armor contact us earlier this week with something really nice. He likes the idea of the folks into this stuff both makers and collectors/users getting through these rough times together and helping each other out so in appreciation of the business that folks have continued to throw Arms & Armor's way in tight times Arms & Armor is donating, as in refused to take money for, a set of three javalins http://www.arms-n-armor.com/pole214.html to go to this months winner as well.

So have peek at Purplehearts site and see what you can do with $75.00, see what you can get started on with $75.00 from the Freelance guys, and stop by Arms & Armor and have a look at thier fine wares to see if theres something you might need or, hint, hint want as a Chistmas gift. Thanks for keeping your vendors in mind and good luck!

Allan, you are sooooo evil. ;)

The breastplate and small besegues were perfect! I provided a quick note here when I received them yesterday.

The donation by the guys at A&A is very classy, let's keep this ball rolling!
