Milling About

Founder:

Milton Miller is the founder of Milling About. Milling About originally started as a large stationary shop with one of Alstead's largest Grain Mills. After he lost his hand to the machine, he decided that life was too short to sit around in one place. He sold his farm and shop and designed a small, portable mill and purchased a carriage to travel with. He opened the traveling Milling About 2 years after he lost his hand, and hired Eustis Quickthumb to perform most of the milling duties. Eustis is a young gnome with bandages wrapped around his hands and fingers. He doesn't speak much, but when he does he tends to make raunchy and inappropriate comments about the renowned performers of the era. Milton Miller is a more respectful man, often trying to cover for his employee. Milton Miller is a short human in his mid to late 50's. He has short, salt and peppered hair and thin rimmed glasses that hang from a string around his neck.

Shop Appearance

Milling About is a medium sized shop that is usually operated out of the back of his wagon. The Mill is attached to the rear of the carriage and a large canvas canopy is stretched out above the tables of freshly milled wares that Milton Miller is selling that day.
