If you are not appropriately registered as a patron here yet, you will merely be regarded as an ordinary visitor by the volunteers in Frugality Cottage rather than as a trainee. Many of the volunteers are trainees themselves.
How have your attitudes to authentic living been shaped by folk culture, popular culture, low culture and high culture?
While the 'country music'
of North America is a somewhat harsh yet sentimental and insipid
expression of non-city living, it is an expression of popular culture
more than folk culture.
Since your first arrival in this virtual cottage, whenever that may have
been, you may have spent much of your time exploring the displays in
the attic, if you have had the privilege of doing so.
Do you have any questions about those displays?
If so, to whom do you intend to present them?
Do you have any questions about problems you are seeking to solve?
When people rely on approval, and even popularity, for their livelihood, they cannot possibly be authentic unless authenticity itself is the reason for their acceptability and popularity.
Many people take up crafts through which to experience and express their true selves.
Please be aware that Frugality Cottage is a virtual, suburban venue and therefore also virtually subrural.
What is your acquaintance with cottage-style, shabby chic interior decoration and how does it compare with your acquaintance with authentic cottage living?
How have you interacted with the projects here?
How does your imagination comprehend liminality in relation to quality, certainty and truth?
