You start planning for favors for next season before this season is over with.

You also want to take up a new hobby just to make said favors.

Well I feel better now.  I have spent the past week looking at supplies to start casting pewter so I can make favors.

When you realise you are drinking from a pewter tankard while reading this thread.

When you lose your phone while wearing garb only to find it when your bodice starts to sing.(yup did that today)

[Tipsy Gypsy]

You come home from a week on business, and instead of relaxing, you rush an old cowboy hat to the shop in order to convert it to a tricorn, then spend the rest of the evening store-hopping for the embellishments, followed by a quick browse of Paul's pbase gallery and the forums for a fix!

*Sigh*...I've missed this place...!

[Manage'n M'Crack]

You can't understand why craigslist doesn't have a 'renaissance' section.

[Var Greyshadow]

You hit the Halloween store on Halloween to buy an animatronic Headless Bride because you saw one in a red and black dress instread of white and plan to turn her into Anne Boleyn.  (Now which issue of Renaissance Magazine had that Fench hood pattern?)

Your collection of nutcrackers includes Henry VIII, a Royal Guard, a Celtic warrior - and newly acquired - Jack Sparrow!  (Target, for those would like one.)

A post in another thread reminded me of this one.

You know you're a true Rennie when someone asks you where you got your chain mail
and you answer "In 100 foot rolls at home depot"

You're soooo proud of your 2 year old for getting their first "Faire buggers."

[Tygrkat]

...when the 'dance music' you've been listening to all day dates back to the 1500's {some a bit older, and some as modern as a piece from 1738  }

[Ranna]

You calculate out how many rows of chain/scales you have to do a day to make a full shirt come next opening day.

....I have a long way to go.....

Hey, I have a nutcracker collection too! I have to limit myself to kilted ones though (and one USAF airman for milord), for the sake of space. 

Back on topic, you get steamed at people who can't distinguish beteween rennies and carnies. Grrr. Or bellydancers and strippers. Snarl! Or barbarians and cavemen... ok, that may be a fine line....

You watch "Beer for my Horses" on CMT, see a traveling troupe of performers that the 'dane world would call freaks, and think "Oh, they're not weird, just different".

When you buy an autographed Fight School t-shirt at faire and then realize too late that it's a size too small.   Your first thought is to lose weight, not for the health benefits, but so you'll be able to wear the t-shirt!   Sad huh?

You Know You're a True Rennie if...
