Jezzy MacPeaks  I truly enjoyed meeting you, and it's good that we are actually neighbors!    You have a lovely booth and your work is beautiful.  I'm sorry you're having to deal with pain and a bit of disability, as am I.  I saw my doctor on Thursday and was put on even more meds.  *sigh*  But, it matters not, I'm pushing forward and smiling through the pain because I'm at Faire!    As I told Chris, my worst day at faire beats my best day in an office job any day, so, as long as I'm at faire, it's a good day!

  I was wonderful to meet you as well.  It was nice to put actual faces with the names on the fourm. We had about 30 people sign in this weekend, that was even more then invasion weekend last year. I agree with Jezzy any day at faire is 100% better then the mundane job.

Hmm, we's will wait for thee for we do not return until the 13th (Yes, can you believe it, we shall miss a weekend.    ). but as said we also will be there on the 20th. be well and take care good Lady.
may all have good fortune,
your Old Tinker and his Belle...

I got very lucky, papa! I wasn't supposed to have the 20th or this past weekend off at all . . . . someone knows that faire is where I belong.

I think I've finally pinpointed a weekend and should be there on the 13th or 14th! I know for a fact it won't be the weekend of the 20th because I'll be in SC that weekend, so I'm trying to make it up to see you guys before then. It's only an hour drive so I should be there.

[Old Tinker]

dear chelamarie, me Belle and me return to Briarwood the weekend of the 13th also. lets make sure we greet each other with HUGs. so glad thee will be make'n a visit.
so many good people,
so little time for HUGs and hardy handshakes.
top of the morn'n to all,
OT & B...

[Maeve McMayhem]

Yay Lady E!

See you on the 20th!

[Chelsy]

Change of plans! I'll still be there on the weekend of the 13th, but on Sunday instead. I'll also be there this weekend! My mom just told me that we're going, so I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

[Sir William Marcus]

when does thee plan on attend'n our fare faire here in the Bluegrass ? will be good to see thee and converse.

Unfortunately, we are not completely certain yet. I was actually wanting to catch Albannach before they are done and I know that the final weekend for them falls on Fathers day weekend.  Not sure what the family has planned for this crusader yet (guess I better get on it)

Then again,  I'm almost afraid to say when we will be there for sure because every time I do we get jinxed with some BS and can't make it.

All is perfectly well Tinker, and please give my love to your Belle. And you guys will LOVE Tartanic- they're featured at TRF every year for the run of the season. Think- what if the pipers were more like rock stars??? THAT'S Tartanic...
