Favors display

[Drac]

Hi all,

Since being given a favor at RenDezvous (actually I got several but never realized it) I decided to make a display.  I believe some called it a "brag rag."

My wife made a quick one out of black duck -



Hows it look?

Nice

Looks like you have a clan badge there on the right...I don't recognize the symbol though. Could it be...clan McTalktothehand?

Just kidding

[Drac]

It's Lamont.  A friend carved it for me.

Not sure what other clans or Rennies call them but here with the Bayou Scoundrels, we call them Favor Savers.
Looks very nice Drac

Turned out nice!
Been thinking about making one myself!

I've not seen the AFRICOM pin before.  Very cool. 

I'm working on this year's favors and having a bit of difficulty making my vision reality.  Looks like practice will make perfect...eventually.

Very nice!!

Now that I'm actually meeting people, I might have to put some favors together (I suppose bookmarks of my new book don't count, do they?  ).

Forgive me if this question should be asked somewhere else.  How exactly do favors work?

Out here in AZ the favor is just a small token of friendship,often handmade but not always.
Two years ago I misplaced my hat-I wasn't upset at the loss of the hat-but I was enraged at the loss of the favors I had placed in the hatband.
One of the crew found it and returned it to me-

A favor is something that you make yourself that  you can give to fellow rennies as a friendship type token,(at least this is what I was told). If you would like to see what other people have made check out the Craft section of the forum there is about 10-14 pages full there. Here is the link.

OK, thanks

They seem to be a bit of a regional thing. They've never been as big at MNRF as some of the other fairs until recently.

Wow!  I got my first favor ever (I had never heard of them) when I visited all of you in MN in 2007.

is there a set "favor etiquette"?

We Castleteers tend to make up a bag o' little things, usually w/ pins attached.  Carry the bag to events, and if you've seen a person before, you like a person you see, or you wish everyone attending the event to remember the event, (Think wedding table favors, Girl Scout swaps, R/F pins) you hand them over with a smile and a "Would you like one of my favors?" 
Accept with grace, and pin them to the brag rag, favor saver.  Then if you see another of the same favor on someone else, you know them to know someone you know... 
There are levels of favors...  A pyratical friend makes up little tiny bottles with her name inside, and for special folk, she makes up tiny bottles with RUM!
