Advice for a addict.

Joe and Courtney are wonderful people and love the challenge of custom requests, if you have one.

Thanks guys for recommending us, we appreciate all of you!!   We have lots of new stuff this year, we are so excited!!  Hercules, we'd be happy to help you and if we don't have what you want , well we can either make it or help you find it somewhere else.

(so where's my appreciation gift? )

As the proud owner of a couple of their custom piece I can say no one does better work.   You should see the 64oz mug they did for a friend of mine.  found a picture of it the small one which is mine holds a standard bottle of pop.

The official TRF tankards, pewter and other collectibles can be found at The Dragonslayer (located just inside the front gates).
This is Dakota, the artist who has designed the tankards for the past three seasons.

As others have mentioned, you'll also find some really cool items at The Knarly Knot.  They have a new location this year - shoppe 312 (across the lane from Rev's Armour Werx).  This photo was taken near the end of last season and their inventory was running a bit low (undoubtedly because people were buying so much of their fine works).

So I won't tell you about my favorite pewter tankard w/3 ship cameos and a rose compass on the lid?

or my 1930's era pewter 'real fake'? with hourglass shape and acanthus handle?

[Hercules]

~inserting fingers into ears up to knuckles~ I'm still not listening! "LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA"

Now ya'll are just throwing raw meat into my cage.

Melissa from Knarly Knot has also been mentioning new cutting board sets this year, for those cooks who like wooden cutting boards for their kitchens.  The photos of the ones I've seen so far have me absolutely lusting for a set!

Ya'll are gonna have to put me in Tankard-rehab after this.

I understand the need for rehab.     Here is my collection of TRF tankards.  They date back to 1977 and this photo does not include the ones issued in the past two years.  I'm going to try to work a larger cabinet into the budget after this faire season.

Sir Martin, that's a really nice collection you have.
