The Flax to Linen potluck tea went well - good food, not overly crowded which was good as it gave a lot of people a relaxed time to learn how to work some of the tools for spinning and weaving.  I always love the demonstration of "dressing the distaff" and I think the use of the drop spindle was a bit hit with a CD drop spindle.  A few people were very proud of their new found skill.  Practice, practice.
