Is there something you look forward to buying at Faire that you can't get anywhere else?

I personally love Seventh Sojourn natural soap at Scarborough.

Seventh Sojourn soaps can be purchased over the web at soapmagic.com

*disclaimer, I am not a paid spokesperson for this product, however I am a committed user of their soaps and btw the owner Brian is a really great guy from my home state of Minnesota.  Tell him Dayna sent you  ;D

Lady McArthur's Phoenix Phyre and Raging Garden Relish (yes, they be ordered from her, but I prefer buying direct at faire).

Hoping for a pair of brown Sandlar boots in my size this year (they never seem to have brown).

I can't help but to go into Potomac Leather and drool over their Ranger stuff, and I wish I could justify getting a pair of Catskill Moccasins, but the ones I want are $850  :o  and there is no chance of compromise on style for a lower priced pair.

I seem to gain a drinking horn, tankard or mug almost every year (sometimes more than one), and I am always looking at leather armor pieces, even though I don't need them, and always additional interesting items to hang from the belt.

Oh, and weaponry, always unique and inquisitive weaponry.  ;)
Always on the lookout for my next noble cause.

And because a flail don't need reloading, that's why.

Nothing specific, but I do so love shopping for all those neat little bits and baubles that go on ones belt!  ::)

-Chainmaille jewelry from the guy at Scarby (AFAIK he still doesn't have a website)
-All the music CDs we pick up every year at various faires.

And, if I ever visit a faire again that has Grichel's as a vendor, I will buy a ton of stuff.  I lurve my laptop case even though it freaks my DD out a bit.

So looking forward to seeing Grinchels wares for the first time in person....


But as far as every day shopping...... Feathers.... I just love feathers....

I'm such a dork....


BOOKS!

And, despite it not being nearly time to actually think about it yet, I'm getting all of my Christmas shopping done at Faire this year, save for my husband (I've got his stuff planned).  This is more due to a conveniently timed bonus at work than actual "I want to do my Christmas shopping in September!"

I also really like getting candles and jewelry and incense.
