Stores you wish were at your faire

[gypsylakat]

What are some garb sellers that you wish set up at your home faire?

I know I wish that Oddbodkin and damsel in the dress set up at MDRF because I saw BOTH of the bodices I want (really badly) today at faire, and have decided I would absolutely have to try before I buy. But they're both far away

I wish Moresca and Medieval Moccasins were at Bristol.  I think Moresca was there several years ago, but not anymore.  I, too, have seen things from both that I like, but I want to see in person and try on.  But if we can get to Scarby next year. . . . .

would love to see Noblesse Oblige at TRF

Kat, what a great thread!!

I wish we had a Moresca and/or Pendragon (at KCRF).  I'm tired of hearing everybody raving about them, and not get to see for myself!

[gypsylakat]

lmao I have moresca and Noblesse Oblige at Maryland.. but I can't afford any of it...

[FortuneRose]

I wish we had a moresca and pendragon at ORF...  we have Sofi's stitches and then (dang, I can't think of the name)...the one that has all the lace skirts and the standard ren bodices...  and a sprinkling of smaller vendors (over all a very nice collection, but I miss having Pendragon and Moresca..at TRF I was so used to having them there and now that I've moved and my home festival is ORF, not there... )

Fortune Rose: Are you talking about Crystal Finery across from the Pirates Treasure? Or Unicorn Clothing near the entrance?

[CapnFayeCutler]

TNRF needs Moresca for sure. We do have Boss Wench and that's a plus!

ORF needs Moresca too - although that means I'd spend even more $$ at faire. :|

Fortune Rose: Are you talking about Crystal Finery across from the Pirates Treasure? Or Unicorn Clothing near the entrance?

The first that came to mind was Crystal Finery, but aren't the two very similar, if not the same clothing? (although Unicorn Clothing seems to have more childs garb)

I wish Tall Toad's was at Scarby! Now I have to figure out how to get 2 hats back to Texas tomorrow. I think I'm just going to wear one and have fun with airport security!

[Taffy Saltwater]

Three years ago I bought a tall hat at La Paloma at TRF & promised myself another LP hat the next year.  They sadly were not there and would love to have another of their hats.  I'd also love to have a Blonde Swan at TRF (can you tell I'm a hat ho?).  Oh, and a Silver Squirrel.

Off topic, but I think more shows should have a book store selling historic related books.

[Marietta Graziella]

Groomporter, that's exactly it!  MNRF has no book sellers.  While, not garb related, book stores would make a wonderful addition to any faire.  Ye Olde Barnes and Noble where you could get period books and a coffee.  A place to dial back a bit from the day.


As for garb, I don't even remember the name of the shop at Bristol but they had these silky chemises that I wanted to just pile onto the floor and roll around on.  Sadly, their staff was far more interested in their own gossip and completely ignored my husband and I during our almost 10 minutes of looking in their store.  Oh well.  Still, loved their fabrics!

I'd also love to have a Blonde Swan at TRF

Does Blonde Swan have a shop at any faire or are they just an online shop? I'd love to see their stuff in person even if I have to make a mini-vacation out of it!

[Taffy Saltwater]

I saw one of the Blonde Swan broom rider hat's last year at Scarby - gorgeous stuff.
