I don't think I recall ever seeing The Duke in court attire, pilgrim.

I'm looking forward to gatelisting and camping. And cutting my faire costs in half.

Too much  probably pushing 2k
Weekends at PARF and MD add up when you add in hotel, gas and food.

I usually buy stuff at the faire _ food and lots of beer plus garb or other stuff.

Did I mention beer :D

I think I may have posted already, but here's an update with another faire season under our belt!

We've pretty much bought all of our garb that we can get from faires, without getting custom work done. That's helped our pockets quite a bit. I found some amazing cowrie shell belts at a place at Sherwood ( which I can't remember the name to! I want more cowrie shell belts!), along with a head covering for use when I'm in garb as Alex's wife. We were able to trade something for a gandora we found at Sherwood ( The -only- one we've seen through TFR and Sherwood... Where's the authentic Northern African/Middle Eastern/Ottoman Empire garb love? )

so overall, right now we only really spend 200-300 bucks at a faire weekend, excluding tickets and camping. Most of that is food, but sometimes I'll see some lotion or soaps I may want to try. Like Summerwood Soaps at SWFF... That is the official household soap for Alex and I now!
